Books Read in May 2023!
Hi Readers! We are one month away from being in the second half of 2023. How crazy is that? May has been a month of changes, adjustments and letting go. Through all of that, I stayed true to my anchor. I read EIGHT BOOKS across 3040 PAGES in May....
Still Born: Motherhood’s To Be or Not To Be
Hi Readers! I usually don’t get myself too invested in the Booker Prize or International Booker Prize. Something about those books just don’t call out to me. It’s either the lack of a plot or too technical literary writing or simply because of my prejudice. But, all of that...
Book Recommendation: How Kyoto Breaks Your Heart
Hi Readers! I was completely subsumed in the Stormlight Archive world for the majority of this month. I read the third book in the series, Oathbringer. This was the main reason for delay in all the book reviews. But, I have now caught up with reviews of almost all...
The Glass Hotel: Not a Book Recommendation
Hi Readers! You continue to amaze me. Recently, I put on a poll on Instagram to ask which book review you would like to read first. And surprisingly, the most polls were for The Glass Hotel by Emily St. John Mandel. I have no idea why that book was...
Happy Place by Emily Henry: My Unhappy Place
Hi Readers! May has been a tricky month so far. I am reading just as much, but not really been able to review anything I have read. Most times, I knew exactly what to write but did not find the will to write. At other times, I was clueless...

Japanese Murder Mystery Book Recommendation: The Decagon House Murders
Hi Readers! If you follow me on Instagram, chances are that you have already read this super short book review. But, I always tend to come back here to read my thoughts on a particular book after a while I have read it. So, here we go. This is...
Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow: For the Love of Games
Hi Readers! I finally read Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow! I had wanted to read it for a few months but ironically I kept saying tomorrow to the book too. But now that I finally read it, I loved it! I will probably read Gabrielle Zevin’s ‘The Storied Life...
Translating Myself and Others: Brilliant but Maybe Too Academic
Hi Readers! I recently saw a stellar recommendation on Instagram for Jhumpa Lahiri’s Translating Myself and Others. Given that it was a collection of essays and that it was short, I read it right away. If you want to read my reviews of other books by Jhumpa Lahiri, you...
