Chetan Bhagat returns to the genre he defines, this time exploring the anatomy of a relationship over the span of more than a decade. 12 years is not a simple meet-cute romance; it is an examination of time’s relentless pressure on love. The title itself—"my messed up love story"—suggests a raw, unvarnished look at the complications and compromises that define modern love.

The cover, with its intimate couple set against a performer's microphone, hints at a story where personal lives and public ambitions collide. It poses a familiar, difficult question: can love endure the long, winding road of personal dreams, setbacks, and the sheer weight of time? This is a novel about holding on, letting go, and the chaotic, imperfect reality of a long-term connection.

It promises to be another resonant, relatable, and deeply honest story for a generation navigating its own "messed up" love stories.

"Flesh" by David Szalay has been awarded the 2025 Booker Prize.
The novel was recognized for its distinctive approach and storytelling, and Szalay has received significant acclaim for this win. The story follows a man from his adolescence in Hungarian social housing, with themes centered on personal desires and risk-taking, both in the narrative and the novel’s creation.
Szalay’s win was announced at a ceremony in London, where "Flesh" was selected over works by other shortlisted authors such as Kiran Desai and Andrew Miller.

Before the age of Sabran the Ninth, a different generation was forced to confront the shadows of the past. In The Dark Mirror, Samantha Shannon continues her masterful excavation of her world's history, focusing on the crushing weight of legacy and the defiant struggle for self-determination.

The narrative is anchored by two young women on opposing sides of the world. In the South, we find Glorian, daughter of the Prioress, wrestling with a destiny she never wanted. In the North, Tuva of the House of Berslin uncovers a terrifying secret that threatens to unravel the carefully constructed histories of her people. It is a story about forbidden magic, the echoes of forgotten wars, and the difficult truth that the greatest threats are often the ones nurtured from within.

With her signature epic scope and intricate world-building, Shannon weaves a tale that is both a compelling fantasy and a profound meditation on the cycles of history and the courage required to break them.

On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous is a letter from a son to a mother who cannot read. Written when the speaker, Little Dog, is in his late twenties, the letter unearths a family's history that began before he was born — a history whose epicenter is rooted in Vietnam — and serves as a doorway into parts of his life his mother has never known, all of it leading to an unforgettable revelation.

At once a witness to the fraught yet undeniable love between a single mother and her son, it is also a brutally honest exploration of race, class, and masculinity. Asking questions central to our American moment, immersed as we are in addiction, violence, and trauma, but undergirded by compassion and tenderness, On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous is as much about the power of telling one's own story as it is about the obliterating silence of not being heard.

Ahoy, folks!
Let's get straight to the point: these books are some of our highly anticipated books of the month and we couldn't wait to unveil them sooner!

This list contains everything that a fiction reader would love (sorry for the non-inclusion, non-fic enthusiasts) and it pretty much has everything from fantasy, romantasy, crime thriller, science fiction and such.

We hope that these books are your cup of tea and that, we would love to hear more suggestions from y'all!

Until then, adieu.

You already know which book this might be...
No, it isn't Iron Widow by Xiran Jay Zhao or any contemporary Western fantasy.

This is an author's highly acclaimed attempt at a work where reality and fiction blur; where epic meets fantasy; where every oath or word spoken results in things you'd never ever want.

This book is, at its most, raw. You can feel all the emotions trying to escape the pages and you can feel the heart of the book beating with the sizzling tension.

And if this wasn't enough to convince, we wouldn't know what will.

This isn't anything new, folks-

Today, we thought, why not re-introduce people to more children's literature as people often deem them childish and inadvertently trash because they think it contains too little. But...they are sorely underestimating just how much there is to it than what meets the eye.

These books have been celebrated generations after generations of children, who were fascinated with the way the stories were shaped and how much enjoyable it was, even though they looked "old".

Even now, we recommend all of these books to budding readers, especially to parents to read these books to their children and let them read later and enjoy the magic of words.

In this busy, ever-kindling world full of people of all kinds, distractions that mankind has seldom seen, and all those welcoming seeming pseudo(??) social interactions, books and cinema and music alone remains the same.

May your next book be just your cup of tea, and that you always have the comfort of words to fall back into if the world seems too much at times..

This book is the highly sensational, ultra-exciting, sort-of true coming-of-age story of a young Asian trans girl, pathological liar, and kung-fu expert who runs away from her parents’ abusive home in a rainy city called Gloom.

Striking off on her own, she finds her true family in a group of larger-than-life trans femmes who live in a mysterious pleasure district known only as the Street of Miracles. Under the wings of this fierce and fabulous flock, Dearly blossoms into the woman she has always dreamed of being, with a little help from the unscrupulous Doctor Crocodile. When one of their number is brutally murdered, the protagonist joins her sisters in forming a vigilante gang to fight back against the transphobes, violent johns, and cops that stalk the Street of Miracles. But when things go terribly wrong, she must find the truth within herself in order to stop the violence and discover what it really means to grow up and find your family.

Perfect for re-reading and to get over your reading slump :D

This is not about Sugandhi alone. Or Andaal Devanayaki. This is a collective fantastical retelling of the Sri Lankan Civil War from the eyes of a novice screenwriter, and how history really is the story that's been rewritten for the sake of gloating and glorifying the oppressors.

This book, although rather very disturbing at every few pages or so, shows the horrors women collectively have to face when their birthplace is going through a collective upheaval. Not knowing whom to trust or not, these women are forced to sacrifice their dignity at the hands of their attackers.

This book is not pretty by any means, and do check all the content warnings before going forth. You'll not regret it, ever.

Set among the global trauma of the initial COVID-19 pandemic, the new novel from author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie tracks four very different women as they navigate life in America, Nigeria, and various points between. Adichie has earned a worldwide readership with her fiction (Americanah) and nonfiction (We Should All Be Feminists), and she’s unafraid to tackle the really big themes: love, loss, life itself.

This one is a heartful, and we are sure that you'll love it!
