A Return, A Retrospect, and a Reading Challenge

Friends, readers, countrymen (and all bibliophiles across the world), I have returned. And this time, I hope to stay here, at my bookish blog home for a lot longer. I had wanted to return much earlier, 2021 was when I tried to restart, but instead, it is three years later that it is panning out.

I hope to keep it active, updated, and happy over the year(s) to come. Reading has been my light in dark times, and I know that is the case for so many of you as well.

Review of Reading in 2020, and My Reading Challenges for 2020

Greetings to my readers. After a very unusually long break, a post on this blog. I hope some of you still check in on ABWM! I’d like to think you do! My 2020 started out on a great note both personally and reading-related, but then the pandemic took over and well, reviewing on the site took a backseat unfortunately. I’m someone who is in front of a screen through my day job as well, so sitting in front of the screen at home felt a chore rather than a passion.

Book Review: Amma; by Perumal Murugan

When I attended Jaipur Literature Festival earlier this year, one of the sessions I was liked attending was Perumal Murugan’s. I bought this book from the shop at the Fest, though unfortunately, I couldn’t get it signed by the author.

Book Review: This Book is Gay; by James Dawson

When, at the beginning of 2020, I decided to expand my reading and try to read more non fiction books, I looked up options for non fiction LGBTQ related books. I found this one.

Book Review: The Boy, The Mole, The Fox, and the Horse; by Charlie Mackesy

Sometimes, a book pulls you into its pages. Into its world. It makes you feel happy in that world. You don’t want to finish seeing that world soon, and yet, you don’t want come out of the world either. This is one such book.
