If you’ve been following my reviews, you’ve seen how head-over-heels I was (still am) for We Should All Be Feminists by this author. And my feelings for that book haven’t changed. I still maintain that it’s the most articulate primer on Feminism that I have come across. But this book, Dear Ijeawele – A Feminist…
There’s Something About Sandhya Menon… the author who releases one adorable book after the other. Right from the time of her debut When Dimple Met Rishi, she somehow always manages to hit all the right notes, and deliver totally delightful reads every.single.time. And this book is no exception. I know most of us will introduce…
Pride, Prejudice, and Other Flavors – A Gender Swapped, Modern Day, Desi Retelling of Pride & Prejudice. That first line, that’s all I knew about this book before I decided to pick it up. Oh and the fact that I had read one other book by the author that I had absolutely loved. And that…

Hello fellow bookworms, It’s the 4th Blog Birthday of Shanaya Tales, and so I am here with a very special announcement. As some of you may know, earlier this month, I shared my desire to revamp the Shanaya Tales email newsletter. Well okay, I don’t think I can call it a newsletter, not in the form…
I have to be honest, I LOVE this time of the year. Not only because it feels like a new beginning (because let’s face it, I understand that it’s really not), but mostly because of all the optimism, enthusiasm & the sheer zest for life I see around me during this time of the year….
