Hi Readers! I love Septembers & Octobers. For the last few years, these years meant that either a new Seishi Yokomizo book is out or a Richard Osman book is out. Last year broke the habit a bit, because somehow I couldn’t focus enough to read Yokomizo’s ‘The Little...

Hi Readers! September was almost a dry spell reading-wise, but I have long ago stopped caring about the numbers. I am just glad I got to read one book, which I was waiting to read for quite a while! I had read Strange Pictures by Uketsu earlier in the...

Hi Readers! In the past week, I had five days holiday, so I took the most advantage of it by picking a BIG BOOK to read! It had been over a year since I read any book over 500 pages. While there are tiny and mighty books, and other...

Hi Readers! When I read a debut book and I love it, I usually immediately read whatever the authors write next. It’s only human nature, isn’t it? It’s also a 50-50 chance that the second book can either be even more amazing or go in the opposite direction. This...

August has passed by with its roar of rain, thunderous laughter with family and friends, intense travel planning with everyone, mellow and grateful times at work, with the onset of all the festivals to follow!I also watched movies and TV shows at an insane level. Absolutely loved a few,...

Hi Readers! Every August I read a few books for Women in Translation month. Most often, it’s books translated from Japanese. But, every once in a while, I read books translated from around the world, because that’s the whole point of Women in Translation month! This month I picked...

Hi Readers, I read a book last weekend. Wasn’t expecting to finish it entirely in two days, but it had a hold over me. It’s a debut novel called Milk Teeth, and after reading it, I’ve found a new favorite author in Amrita Mahale. Since this was a debut...

Hi Readers! July was GLORIOUS! The major reason for this was obviously Goa vacation. And, in addition, I was able to embrace the rains rather than being constantly worried if it will rain when I’m enroute office. And yes, office life has been hectic per usual. But, one amazing...
