Brought this graphic book from the local library. I didn't resort to looking at the dictionary every second page, must be a win. I love it that I know my way around the nooks of the library.

It's been over a year here. Immensely grateful every time I look at the TV tower on my way out .

Finished booker prize winner Banu Mushtaq's Heart Lamp. Loved how the translation retained the spirit of Kannada. Loved reading something so familiar yet distant.

Read Sita by Volga and if I am to tell the story of Ramayana to kids, I am going to retell this version

Just finished The Husbands by Holly Gramazio and it was fun. Left me with as many questions as answers.

I read the many lives of Syeda X by Neha Dixit about an informal worker living in the outskirts of Delhi. I thought I already knew a lot but this book was a revelation. It's heartbreaking that people work so hard but even then life is so tough for them.

I read Arundhati Roy's latest, Mother Mary comes to me so quickly. Absolutely loved the book, she's been my hero for a long time.

Finished Adichie's latest and I think I liked her previous works more.

Used to be a regular reader of her blog, see parts of me in the book and then I don't. I think I enjoyed the blogs way more.

Good to finish a book after a while!

Finished this 700 page epic about a family in Kerala across three generations, was shocked, hooked, and nostalgic.

This should be made into a movie!

Also forgot that finished Reasons to Stay alive by Matt Haig. He wrote this much before his diagnosis and I wonder how much of his issues stemmed from his undiagnosed neurodivergnce. Love that all his books are dedicated to his wife.

Finished Intermezzo a few days ago and just this will also be a good movie for sure, as intense as Normal People. Want to visit Dublin now!

Loved this one, at one point I was bawling reading about someone's pain, which I have no idea about, and I hope never will. It stuck a cord, heartening and bewildering that so much of suffering is universal. Somehow, magically, this book found me at the right time.

This book found me when I needed it. The very first two pages had realizations that hit me pretty late in life, 36 to be precise

I am amazed at the timing and love the handwritten notes left in the book by the friend whose book I book I borrowed, made reading it so much more meaningful!

Spoke about this one at the book club yesterday. I wanted to read this one for a while and glad that my neighborhood library had it!

Amazing thread! What are the names of your goblins?

I have mixed feelings about this book that has nothing to do with the book. I learnt new things and I liked it.
