Hello to one and all,
Namaste!
Kuzo zangpo la!
Bonjour!
Anyeonghaseyo!
My name is Aakanksha Singh. I am from Mumbai in Maharashtra in India. I am utterly passionate about anything related with literature be it novels, plays or poems. Off late, I have become interested in reading from all over the world particularly Asian literature and reading translation works!
My favourite pastime is to just sit back with a cup of tea and immerse in a story or a poem.
The second favourite would be to go on book hunting adventures to any nook and corner most specifically second hand bookshops that are always a delight and give you many surprises and treasures you did not know existed!
Other hobbies include travelling, music, blogging, cooking (till the time I get fed up of it as a daily chore!) and gardening!
That’s all for now!
Hope you enjoy your stay here.
Take a look at the litty things I get upto on Pinterest:
The Book Cafe 
Love your blog Aakanksha.It is so hard to find people(esp teenagers )who actually read books these days.In our days books were our only windows to the world.
In whodunits do review Alexander Mccall Smith series and Inspector Ghote too.
hey varsha, thnks. I am glad you liked my blog..i do love reading books. its one of ma fav hobbies! I have never heard of alexander mccall smith or inspectr ghote, but if you tell me some book names then mebbe i can read them and review them. I too loved your blog and the poems in it….
hey the most famous Alexander Mccall Smith is No.1 LADIES Detective Agency.
And Inspector Ghote is authored by HRF Keating -The Perfect Murder is the most famous one.
thnks for telling me the book’s name. Really appreciate it. I will definitely try to get my hands on it and read and review it as soon as possible!

I feel revived whenever I meet [even when remotely like this] someone who not only “likes” reading books [ whatever be the subject, since I am my self quite omnivorous] but can so vividly describe what one has liked while reading the book [ an area I am too weak].
It is even greater pleasure to note that you are able to give written words to your own feelings and thoughts.
Thank you so much for your kind words on my love for books and my writing style. It is much appreciated and it means a lot to me. I hope you will keep dropping by every now and then.
Thank you so much for visiting my blog. 🙂
impressive blog. I have written a book on social networking. can you write a review on this.
thanks

For some strange reason I am only seeing this comment now. I think I was off blogging for a while and just had not read any comments or done any blogging. I restarted blogging and writing reviews in about 2018. Let me know if you are still interesting in sending the book for review!
Thank you!
Hello! I’d love to send you our book to review. It is an anthology with authors from 10 countries. It is filled with poetry and flash fiction centered on the theme of food.
That sounds wonderful! What is the book titled? I would love to review it. Let me know more about it.
It is called “Heat the Grease, We’re Frying Up Some Poetry.” You can email me at editor@gnashingteethpublishing.com your address and I’ll get you one in the mail.
Oh that sounds quite interesting. It is only recently that I have begun to appreciate the intermingling of food and culture in stories. I have emailed you the address. Looking forward to this!
Hello Akanksha,
I would love to send you my book for a review. It is a poetry collection and is titled “Method to My Madness”. Each poem is inspired by real stories and experiences of people I came across in a span of two years.
I have a feeling you will love it!
Thank you!!
Warm regards,
Rohini Kottu
Hi!

Hello Aakanksha Singh,

Good morning,
My name is Romelin (or Rome, like Italy) and I am releasing a poetry book that I have been working on for the past year. The manuscript sits over 20k words, with 110 pages. Its woven together with a short story and presented in a graphically pleasing format. I am a 25 year old self-publisher, I have paid for professional editing. The book is a collection of poetry geared to promote a positive mentality by face the negativity. It address issues, thoughts, and concerns felt during this quarantine but in general as a human being. Allowing others the chance to feel less isolated and gifting them something, honestly, that has helped me make a positive difference in the world. I am not Rupi Kaur, but I believe I can impact lives in the same manor. I value my hard work so although I can’t freely offer a soft back copy. I carry both PDF and ebook formats so you read and provide a review from. The release date is Aug 31. Preorders are available now on http://www.arometherapy.com
I realized I never asked lol, but would you mind giving me your opinion and review ?
Hey! yes, it sounds interesting. I wouldnt mind it but I think I will only be able to review it by end of the month or early September, if that is alright
Sounds perfect ! I wrote the wrong email, aromeatherapy@gmail.com is my email.
Good day, I’m glad to meet you here. Please would you help me review my little but simple interesting poems? My email address is fortune.nwaiwu.fn@gmail.com
