    I have heard people say that I don’t read indian authors. They haven’t read the right authors perhaps. Thanks for the recommendation

      Exactly. And it is not that all international authors are great writers.

    Very very interesting list! Sadly, I haven’t read any of them. Some of them are on my TBR list, some I haven’t heard of. Adding them to my TBR list. Thanks.

    Picking Dophari for mom, she will be so happy. Quick books are her favorite reads

    Inside my head, I kept thinking Ghachar Ghochar is a lengthy book and will require an immense amount of commitment but you cleared that misconception. So definitely taking this as my next read.

    Sadly, I haven’t read any of these books. Thanks for sharing this. This makes me think I don’t read Indian authors much. Got to rectify this situation.

      Adding Moom to my TBR list right away as I love Arunava Sinha’s writing. Also, Bhaunri. I have read Anukrti’s Hindi book Neena Aunty and liked it. I have Bombay Balchao. I really wanted to read and like it but I read 2-3 chapters and it seemed slow and monotonous to me so left it unfinished (I am a very impatient reader and I don’t like it).

    You are a voracious reader, Ritu. 8 in a day? Wow! I have not read any of them but will surely add them to my pending list. Would like to listen to Rahul Bose narrating though.

      I was just lamenting to Sona that this year I haven’t read many Indian books. Thank you for this list! Now I’m sorted. I have read Bombay Balchao (loved it) and Ghachar Ghochar (ending was meh).

      I always find it a task to search the book on Goodreads when I finish reading a review. Just implemented something I find convenient myself.
