We Only Talk Books

We tried to sync up out times & schedules but life is just too unpredictable this year again. Me & deb were too restless one afternoon and really wanted to share some book love with each other and anyone who might find this episode :))

Apeksha Rao is the author of Along came a Spyder - story of a seventeen-year-old girl who wants to become a Spy.

She has written many short stories based on the same series, which can be found on her blog.  

We talk about changes and new additions to our reading list in 2020 and what we plan to read in the current one.

Shatrujeet Nath is the creator of the runaway national bestseller series Vikramaditya Veergatha, a four-book mytho-fantasy arc that includes The Guardians of the Halahala, The Conspiracy at Meru and The Vengeance of Indra. Described as “a new face to Indian mythology” by DNA, Shatrujeet writes for movies and web shows as well. He is also the author of The Karachi Deception, an Indo-Pak spy thriller.

We invited a dear Friend and author Aniesha Brahma - a YA and Children's Author, who has a day job writing content for a digital media house.

In this episode, Prats & DDS talk to author Shilpa Suraj about the books she has written, the books she is currently writing, and some she read and loved. Tune in to hear stories about Shilpa's daughter, the inspiration behind her recent books and to hear all of us bond over two of our favorite books from 2020.
