Reading List for 2021 (Updated!)
A new year has begun just a few days back (wow!). Though I'm sure it doesn't feel any different, yet, the world is still dealing with the dilemma of COVID-19. The vaccine is out now, and it is being distributed around, with the elderly, the first line medical personnel, and the immunocompromise patients being the current priority.

But hey, my friends got me Eleanor & Park, Fangirl and Attachments by Rainbow Rowell for my birthday that y
