South Asian books always have me excited, and I definitely have a special soft spot for certain regional specific representations. And today, I am so pleased to host the exclusive cover reveal of Arathi Menon’s upcoming middle grade book – A Mystery at Lili Villa!
Initially this post was supposed to be an edition of cheat sheet where I answer some questions from you all, instead of interviewing someone, but after I got some questions – and because I am extra – I decided to make this a mini feature instead! So here you go, let’s have some chai and talk!

January 2021 has been one of the longest months and I am glad it’s over. I feel like we all came into 2021 not expecting much – after all, what can be worse than 2020? – but well…a lot of things have happened! It has been a fairly chill month for me personally, and here are some of my highlights!
I know after Bridgerton historical romances have been the craze, so today I wanted to share some of my favourite Historical romance series and books! There’s so many books to pick from, so I have enough for a part two, so let me know in the comments if you want another edition of HR recs!

In today’s edition of Cheat Sheet we have Sarah Barley, who serves as the Editorial Director of young adult books at Flatiron Books. Sarah shares about her experience at Flatiron and as an editor, and gives a preview about some of her projects.
In Fat Chance, Charlie Vega, Maldonado takes a stab at what it means to grow up as a fairly introverted, fat brown girl. While the book deals with some rather important themes and difficult conversations, it is ultimately a fun and heartfelt story about falling in love, friendships, making mistakes, and finding your voice and self, and I smiled and cried throughout this endearing debut.
There’s a lot going on, and I hope you are all doing okay, and taking a deep breath. Maybe distracting yourself with a good book – which is totally okay! I myself have been a little behind on blogging because this year really hit the road running for me, but I wanted to clear my head and be excited about some books for a while.
