I would definitely define myself as primarily a reader.
I read anything and everything that appeals to me, and I can say with conviction, that over four decades of reading, I've honed a sixth sense about the good, the bad, the ugly and the inconsequential as far as books go.
I read books written for both the child and the grown-up, and delight in them equally.
My home is drowning in books, and the definitive book to describe it would be 'The Library' by Sarah Stewart. Would I do what Elizabeth did at the end of the book? My answer would be- "Maybe!"
I have one daughter, currently a tween, in whom, miraculously, I've managed to inculcate a similar affection towards reading, and some of our memorable times together have been of reading and discussing books we both love.
I was a medical professional in a previous life, but I have left it far behind. In my new avatar, I am tending to my first love, the written word, and I hope to make a career out of it.
I also review for Saffrontree, Book Reviews and Zealot Readers.

Hi.. Love your blog for the great book recommendations ;-) Great work.
Do you know of any good christian books for children? On Jesus or on religion in particular. Maybe something about God, not specific to any religion.
Thanks.

Wow! Sandhya nice blog. Now I got a place to search for good books for my daughters.
Hi Sandhya,
Came to your blog through utbtkids.com and have fallen in love with it. As a fellow "Reading Mommy who hopes her daughter would fall in love with books", I enjoy your posts, and have collected many of the books that you have recommended. My soon to be 3 daughter loves them. Thank you so much for doing this...
Cheers

Nice to meet another book buff :)
I have written a book “The Redeemers” which has just been launched and it is in the process of finding its way to on-line purchase sites and book stores. The book is about prevailing corruption and malpractices and how a bunch of youngsters understood the gravity of problem and figured out a unique and meticulous plan to fight the menace through some creative ideas and innovative thinking. While the book is issued-based, I have tried to weave it into a gripping and inspiring story. The book is extremely relevant in present day context. A link for a clip of the book is provided here below which would give the perspective of the book:

It will be an honor to have the book reviewed on your newspaper / web site. I would appreciate your providing the address where I could courier the book. I may be contacted at taneja_suresh@hotmail.com
Best Regards,
