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....

Hi Readers! In August, I am participating in two reading challenges. There’s the Women in Translation Month for which I already read I Who Have Never Know Men by Jacqueline Harpman. And now for Discovering India Readathon hosted by Padmaja (thebookishtales) and Avani (thequirkyblubookshelf), I have read That Long...

Hi Readers! When I read The Eighth Life in January this year, I was flummoxed. I read a lot, but this book was just something else entirely. It is among the best books I have ever read. It has such multitude of characters each of whom you know as...

Hi Readers! June has been a slow month for me reading-wise. But, I did finish two books this weekend. I will write the review of The Authenticity Project by Clare Pooley soon, but I knew I had to write the review of South of the Border, West of the...

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...

Hi Readers! This is my Year of Murakami. I plan to read all of Haruki Murakami’s books. I have already read many books and have about 10 more to go! Seems quite simple to me. So, this review is about an amazing collection of short stories called Men Without...

Hi Readers! I am back after quite a hiatus! But don’t worry because it was just a writing hiatus and not a reading one. March was definitely the longest month ever, which usually I enjoy because it’s my birthday month. But everyone’s got a limit! I read five books...
