Hi Readers! First book review of the year is here! I have been reading These Days by Lucy Caldwell all of December, and finished it only this week. I see so many readers talking about their first book of the year. Unlike everyone else, I did not feel the...

Hi Readers! Year on year, you outdo yourselves! Mindscape in Words had 64000 VIEWS in 2023! This is a 40% increase than last year. I know there are two to four posts which receive a majority of traffic, but they are also the ones I love the most. I...

Hi Watchers! I watched 68 WEB SERIES & 66 MOVIES IN 2023! As usual, too many web series and not enough movies this year. But, I watched so many amazing web series that initially I had top 20 series to recommend. But, the ones that made it to the...

Hi Readers! Last week I officially went into my anxious I-have-got-to-read 80 books this year frenzy. This set me on a path to read short books. I don’t typically enjoy them and few of them have also shoved me in the reading slump in the past, almost like a...

Hi Readers! Jhumpa Lahiri is one of those authors whose books when I start reviewing, I can’t quite stop. There are a multitude of themes, some very obvious but some really subtle. There might not always be a memorable character or a thrilling plot, but there are always silences....
