Hi Readers! How was your February? The shortest month of the year really made me feel its every single day quite laboriously. In a nutshell, I read very little. The two books which I read this month were across two days. Otherwise, I have been reading The One Hundred...

Hi Readers! I finally read a book this month! “A reader doesn’t find a book. The book finds the reader.” While I had heard this from so many people, it always sounded too surreal to believe. These last two months have been hell work-wise. There are so many instances...
