Calling my inner goddess...

So today, my blog post is coming out late at night in case anyone has cared to notice. I really felt tired all day. Blogging is beginning to feel like a chore, something that I HAVE to do, rather than something i LOOK FORWARD to doing, and that kills the joy. But when I saw a tweet I got inspired and logged in to post. Just goes to show how moody I can be or how much I dislike routines.

Anyway, since I'm at home now, I want to make the most of my time and READ! I bought an ebook called 'Pussy: A Reclamation' by Regena Thomashauer.

It's about finding your inner goddess. Now you might think it's some 50 shades of gray kind of erotica. Not really. Its about women finding their lost vitality. I think it's great so far! It's like those vitality workshops women are always being encouraged to do. I recently got an invitation to do one such online workshop, but upon clicking the links, it asked for 77 dollars for the introductory package, so I ditched it. Else might have done it. Always sounds good to do. This book though is like a workshop. So it's great! All for about 175 bucks! (thats rupees, in case I'm getting international visitors on this little page of mine.)

Going back to 50 shades of gray by E.L. James, I think I was one of the last people on the planet to read it. The author uses the words 'inner goddess' so many times in the book.

I'm not a big fan of erotica although in 2013, I used to think it was a good idea to read it. I had bought 'Bared to you' by Sylvia Day in 2013 with every intention of reading it. However, it still remains unread. My to-be-read pile of books is unimaginably large, so I'd better get to it all.

Good Night.

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. Her mom who is constantly trying to fix her up with some eligible guy so that she can get married and Sanya, the real office bitch who is always cosying up to their bosses and vying for a promotion, are just two of the people in her life causing her angst. So it’s go...

Blogging with a Purpose - Theme Post

I’ve loved books since I was a child. I vaguely recall the 'Ladybird' series of books that I read as a child, but the first novel I remember reading was ‘The Mystery of the Burnt Cottage’ by Enid Blyton that my mom brought home for me to read from the library when I was in Class 4. I then finished the children’s books section in library after library in my neighbourhood. Reading has served me well since I now work as an editor. Reading was what filled my hours as a child and kept loneliness at bay. Reading is what helped me find myself at age 40 when I got back to the habit after several years of reading sporadically. I now average about 25 books a year that I track on Goodreads .  I’ve had the opportunity to interact with quite a few authors online and offline. My cause for the Blogchatter #BloggingWithAPurpose campaign is "promoting authors." There is a popular joke in the publishing industry these days that there are more authors than readers. Authors a...
