There are now so many wonderfully engaging and brave children’s titles published in India, and I love recommending them to friends with nieces and nephews.
Hi, Varsha! I have just installed subtrack and subscribed to your newsletter having been presented with the news that your book has won the Scholastic, Singapore award.Also, after a very long( decades long) hiatus, turned back to reading. And a physical one that requires pages to be turned!
I love the idea of the challenge presented here, though I am entering it almost half way through the year. Kochi is where I am now, would love to find a nice bookstore to spend a few quiet hours once in a while.
Yes! Your kind review of Leya's book some years back really helped me keep at it wrt writing - and so far this year is turning out to be exciting with some publishing updates :)
YAY excited to see which books you read from the recos. I will share theme recos in that particular month's 1st/15th newsletter. But if you are going on a holiday/travelling and need to know the title for the upcoming month earlier, just message and I will let you know! Most of these books will be on Amazon - but I am a big advocate for Independent bookstores - so if you are comfortable sharing your city - I can come back with the bookstore(s) that has a sizeable children's book collection!

Genius girl 💗
Both the book recommendations sound very promising - they are on my "to-be-procured" list for sure.
Yay! Will share my recommendations for the Jan challenge in the next newsletter, that I will send by mid Jan.
I'm up for it! Please do see if you'd be able to link a source for the books in advance, maybe even an amazon link
