I visited the New Delhi World Book Fair, and there are so many amazing books that I unfortunately could not pick up. Well, here are some of them that are definitely ending up on my TBR + need-to-add-to-my-collection-soon lists, lol.

📔: Period. It's About Bloody Time by Emma Barnett

“At a time when women around the world are raising their voices in the fight for equality, there is still one taboo where there remains a deafening silence: periods. Period. is an agenda-setting manifesto to remove the stigma and myths continuing to surround the female body. Bold and unapologetic, Emma Barnett is on a crusade to ignite conversation among women—and men—everywhere.”

📔: Japan Made Easy by Sandeep Goyal

“For the average Indian, Japan is the land of the bullet train, zippy cars, and geisha girls, as also hard to understand. However, what appears to be opaque and insular to the world outside turns out to be a society that is friendly, intimate, and closely knit together when you get to know it better… this book is the best guide to a complex, nuanced and an utterly lovable country.”

📔: No One Is Talking About This by Patricia Lockwood

“A woman who has recently been elevated to prominence for her social media posts travels around the world to meet her adoring fans. She is overwhelmed by navigating the new language and etiquette of what she terms “the portal,” where she grapples with an unshakable conviction that a vast chorus of voices is now dictating her thoughts. When existential threats–from climate change and economic precariousness to the rise of an unnamed dictator and an epidemic of loneliness–begin to loom, she posts her way deeper into the portal’s void… As real life and its stakes collide with the increasingly absurd antics of the portal, the woman confronts a world that seems to contain both an abundance of proof that there is goodness, empathy, and justice in the universe, and a deluge of evidence to the contrary.”


Let me know if you’ve already read any of them, and what’s the verdict?! 🧐
