I belong to this group called Books Deals for Broke Bibliophiles - India on Facebook, which already has 24k members and is growing. Ritesh Agrawal who owns the community, has promoted a 'Book and Bake Sale' happening on 2nd April, Sunday, 11 am- 7 pm. That's today! 

Here are more details from the BYOB page:

Do you like baked goods. 
And reading too? 
Would you like some books,
And cakes to chew?
We like them too 
(Of course we do)
So here's a SALE
Just for you =)

What can you expect- 
Baked Goodies! Or what often qualifies as the best kind of food-- Cakes!

Beverage-- on the house. It's hot, and if you have come all the way to buy books (always a commendable thing to do), you should be greeted with cold, cold lemonade.

Happy conversation (we tend to talk a lot, come join us?)

My Book Review of 'Bitch Goddess for Dummies'

Recently, I attended a zoom session on chick lit by the Chennai Lockdown Literary Festival (CLLF). In the session, one of the speakers was Maya Sharma Sriram. I was so impressed with the way she conducted the session and answered the questions that I decided to pick up her chick lit novel, ‘Bitch Goddess for Dummies’ brought out by Rupa Publications in 2012. And I was not disappointed. I’m not sure if I was biased toward the book by the personality I had seen on zoom or not, but I quite enjoy chick lit and have read several chick lit novels in my thirties.   So the novel is about a 27-year-old woman Mira Iyer who decides to transform her personality from good girl to ‘bitch goddess’ to deal with the people in her life.

It was published in 2019.   The editor’s note states, “Each story in this collection is unique in its representation of what it means to be magical.”   It may not be everyone’s cup of tea. The book is well written, but some of the themes are a bit disturbing. The first story “ Gul” by Shreya Ila Anasuya has themes of lesbianism. The second story “ Gandaberunda” by S.V. Sujatha is violent and macabre. When I read the third story, ‘Rulebook for Creating a Universe’ by Tashan Mehta, I felt that although I was reading English, I was seeing Greek and Latin. It went totally above my head.   I really enjoyed the fourth story ‘The Demon Hunter’s Dilemm...
