As the holidays approach, I find myself busier and busier trying to get ready for the family we have coming over Christmas. I'm so excited to host family in my new house for the first time, but of course this also means that I have less time for hobbies, like blogging.
I'm going to be better about posting in the new year, and I'll probably have a review or two for you before the end of the year, but I'm not going to even try to churn out reviews when I haven't had time to read in a week. I hope you all understand; I also figure all of you are busy with your own holiday preparations, so the dearth of reviews isn't too big of a deal.
Have a great holiday season, and enjoy spending time with family and friends.
Welcome!

Welcome! I’m Swapna Krishna, and this is where you’ll find my book reviews. Feel free to look through my review database. I also host the South Asian Review Database and run the South Asian Challenge, which promote the authors and literature of the region.
I do accept books for review, but please take a look at my review policy before pitching me a book. If you have any questions, please contact me.

Pretty much Swapna! I'm going totally dark in january, that is how bad it has gotten on my end! Family is the most important thing, blogging will wait. Have a wonderful holiday!!!!!
I hear ya! I'm struggling to keep my head above water right now myself. Enjoy your time with your family and tell your mother-in-law I said hi!
Enjoy your family and first holiday season in your new home. That's more important that writing and posting reviews right now.
Happy Holidays!
Wishing you and yours a beautiful holiday, Swapna!
