1 Thank God It’s Caturday (Red Panda)

Meet some truly cool cats, and we mean the real feline variety in this marvellous collection of stories, edited by Lubaina Bandukwala. The illustrations by Sonal Gupta are a delight, and bring these stories to life. Whether you’re a cat lover, or not, this one is all about being a part of their lives.


2 This is How You Lose Her (Penguin)



If you haven’t discovered Junot Díaz, this book is a reminder. His effortless, almost lyrical prose will melt the hearts of even the most hardened of cynics of love and relationships. His writing is bare, brutally honest, and deliciously romantic, all at the same.

3 Bombay II New York (Self-published)

This ode to two buzzing world cities by Ria Mirchandani, is a fun flip-through book with vibrant illustrations by Shivantika Jain Kothari. The quirky idea to celebrate these cities and their unique characteristics, is the ideal gift for those missing home in the Big Apple, as we learnt was the case with the creators who crafted this trippy gem.
