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! 5 months down, 7 more to go! Unbelievable how fast yet slow the time is going. May has been unpredictable in its entirety, which I equal parts loved and hated. Picnic with a friend, concert with parents, leadership meet in the office, a play with parents, fangirling...
