Hi Readers! I recently read a book that I have been wanting to read since a long time. I bought it when Abdulrazak Gurnah won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2021. I looked up his other books such as Paradise, Gravel Heart and By the Sea, but Afterlives...

Hi Readers! I am back with another review. But, it pained me to write this one, because it’s the first book by Fredrik Backman that I did not enjoy. I have enjoyed A Man Called Ove, Beartown series, Anxious People and And Every Morning the Way Home Gets Longer...

Hi Readers! October is almost at an end. It went by quickly but luckily not as quickly as September. I read Days at the Morisaki Bookshop last week. It was a short book, so I finished it over the weekend. I really enjoy reading books about books, so it...

Hi Readers! August seems like the longest month ever, but in the best possible way. I achieved a lot of milestones and generally had a happy month. My favourite colleague did leave the workplace, which was the saddest moment during the month, but we have the kind of friendship...

~~MARATHI VERSION~~ बुक्स्टाग्रामवर पद्मजा आणि अवंती यांनी 2017 मध्ये #DiscoveringIndiaReadathon सुरु केले. त्यात या वर्षी मी पहिल्यांदा सहभागी झाले. चार प्रोम्पट्सपैकी मी दोन प्रोम्पट्सवर दोन पुस्तके वाचली. म्हंटलं पुस्तक मराठीत वाचलंय तर बुक रिव्ह्यू पण मराठीत लिहायचा प्रयत्न तरी करायला पाहिजे. असे म्हटले तरी तुम्हाला मराठी आणि इंग्रजी दोन्हीचं...
