This was the only feature I did, and it was such a wonderful experience talking to indie bookstores about everything they were doing to stay alive at a very difficult time! 5/6 thecuriousreader.in/features…

Yes, I still read children's literature, even in public. I'm no longer embarrassed to be seen reading a fully illustrated book while waiting for a bus. 2/6 thecuriousreader.in/essays/c…

Monsoon and Comfort Reading: There’s something about the rain that makes us seek comfort—a cosy corner, a hot drink and a good book. They work together to cocoon us in a warm hug, chase away those rainy-day blues, and bring a much-needed smile. #ReadingHabit @curiousreaderin
