Hello humans & guess who's back from the pits of hell, often referred to as terms? This girl right here. ✨ So to celebrate the end of my exams and Diwali (the Indian festival of lights), I thought I'd share my most anticipated read with you, using Diwali as my theme. #Inkredia by Sarang Mahajan ( @authorsarang ) has been trending massively on #bookstagramindia For a while now, & man am I glad to discover this book! It is one of the only high fantasy books written by an indian author I've heard of, & being an ambitious writer of fantasy myself, I couldn't wait to get my hands on this book. It is honestly so gratifying to see someone laying down the foundation for something you've wanted to see for the longest time, in my case, more Indian writers to be discovered and recognized by the fantasy writing community. I am glad Sarang Mahajan is playing a role in that revolution. Will this book be worth the hype? Judging by the insane amount of positive feedback it has been receiving so far about its masterful world-building & intricate plot, I highly doubt it will be an uninteresting read. But I guess I'll have to wait a while before I can decide for myself how well earned the excitement was(my TBR pile is already burying me alive guys). But in any case, I can assure you, this book WILL find its way into my blog. For those of you who are interested in knowing more about the author and the book, I'll drop a link to my interview with Sarang Mahajan in my bio. This picture is also my entry for the Inkredia contest. ✨ Diwali is one of my most favorite times of the year. Even though I don't celebrate it, I always take part in the festivities along with those who do. So it sucks to be away from my city this year, but ah well. More opportunities to go! ✨ Which is your favorite festival? ✨ #inkredialuwanofbrida #indianreads #indianreaders #books #bookstagram #book #bookshelf #bookworm #bookish #booklover #bookworms #booknerd #bookaddict #bookaddicts #bookholic #booknerd #booklove #booklover #bookishlove #bookblog #bookobsessed #bookblogger #bookstagrammer #bookstagrammers #bookstagramer #indianbookstagrammer #igreads #igbooks #bookreccomendations #bookstagramfeature https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp4jWN5nyvQ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=nnm0xuusbu7t

Was kind of having a bad day so decided to take a stroll down memory lane. God knows those always work. Not to mention, staying in touch with books makes me feel a thousand times better about everything. ✨ So I don't know how many of you have heard about Ruskin Bond. He is one of the most celebrated (and deservingly so) writers of India. I grew up reading quite a few of his books, including this little collection of short stories. My favorite bunch? Grandfather's Private Zoo, where the author talks about the delightful tales of his Grandfather's love for strange pets, including a monkey, Toto, a hornbill and even a boa constrictor! It's been a while since I've picked up his work, but I will again, soon. I remember these stories being as enjoyable to my teachers in school as they were to me, so I don't doubt for a second that if you're in the mood for a read that will make you smile, this is it. ✨ In fact, I'll be slowly posting my entire Ruskin Bond collection here. I see all sorts of authors discussed on bookstagram, but I don't think I've ever seen his name crop up, which is a shame. He is also one of the two authors I've seen in person, so yes that is pretty special to me. Also, good Indian literature needs to be acknowledged worldwide. ✨ Who is your favorite author of your country and why? Post a picture of their books (in the comments or on your feed/ story and if you want, tag me!) Let's bring some underrated gems into the limelight. ✨ #bookstagramer #bookstagramfeature #bookstagram #bookstagrammers #bookstagrammer #indianreaders #indianbookstagrammer #indianbook #indianreads #booksofinstagram #bookstagramindia #igbooks #igreads #bookblogger #bookblog #booklovers #booknerd #bookaddict #booklover #bookworm #underratedbooks #ruskinbond #bookish #bookishfeatures #bookrecommendations #bookreviewer https://www.instagram.com/p/BpuPrHCHgW9/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=dqiho07xtm2s
