MUMBAI: There’s no denying that the COVID-19 outbreak is already a stressful situation, to begin with.
Having said that, with newer restrictions being enforced and more and more people being advised to stay as close to home as possible, you’re probably already confined to the walls of your home, and that too not alone. With the pandemic, the entire entertainment fraternity has being asked to stay indoors and actors are making the most of their time doing the things which they otherwise would not get the time too.
While there are celebrities engaging in in cooking, pottery, planting or watching their favourite webseries, our bookworms of television - Sriti Jha, Mouni Roy and Rubina Dilaik are hooked on to their favourite novels. If you are a reader, check this list and let us know whether you nodded your head in agreement and what your possible additions could be. If you think you are not so much of a reader, and suddenly have this newfound time at home while you stay safe from the on-going pandemic, we have just the books for you to start your reading journey with.
Now is the time to realise that romantic notion of curling up with a cuppa and a good read! The best part? You can finish all of them in the span of a week!
Take a look:
You can opt for Gun Island by Amitav Ghosh, a book on Sriti's bookrack! It is a story of a world on the brink which is on an increasing displacement and unstoppable transition.
