Best Reads of June 2022

The year 2022 is halfway through, and it has already grabbed our attention with these awe-inspiring releases. These books are what we call 'best reads' as they are all written in such a way that you get transported into a whole new world and experience such profound things that you wouldn't be able to if you were just in your head. 

These authors are like painters; they use all the colours, imaginations, and constructs to create pictures for you that you can only view through your mind's eye. Read them all if you really want to grow this year because every second spent with them is a second earned in your life.

2. "A Place Called Home" by Preeti Shenoy

Preeti's writing has always been powerful, and as with all her books, this book has layers that keep you hooked from the first page to the last. The book explores the idea of family, relationships, and the concept of home and how they can mean different things to different people. Preeti explores a variety of ideas and weaves them into the plot. From social stigma to the social concept of "marriage," the characters in the book endure all of that, and that is the story that emerges from the struggles and their reactions to it.
