From My Little Nest: June

July 14, 2026 By Shalini Leave a Comment

Of books, blooming amaltas, bookstore dates, little joys and a month I’m quietly grateful for. If you’ve been around here for a while, you’ll know that this little corner of the internet has worn many hats over the years. It began with books, travel, poetry and random thoughts, which slowly became a full-fledged book blog,…

remember when i said i bought a year’s worth of books in june?
happy alice in wonderland day! i couldn’t resist making a little alice in wonderland character quiz to celebrate one of my favourite classic books. if you love beautiful classic book editions and whimsical stories, this one’s for you!♠️🎩🐇
This book felt like wrapping myself in a warm blanket with a plate of chocolate chip muffins.
there’s something so special about watching a young writer bring an entire world to life.
i’ve dreamt of writing this caption for a long time.
drop a photo of your reading companion below; be it coffee, tea, bookmarks, pets, snacks, blankets… anything!
i read bombay brides years ago, but it’s one of those books that has quietly stayed with me.
this is my romance starter pack!
sometimes the package is more than just a package.
my bookstore visits always begin with the best intentions- that I’m only getting one book!😌
i don’t think i’ll ever look at a lemon the same way again.
every reader has that one book that opened a door.
currently reading as long as the lemon trees grow and i’m not okay. 🥲
there’s something so magical about stepping into a world where animals can talk, think, dream, and have adventures of their own. i live for stories like that!
imagine thinking ₹370 buys entitlement!
