Why I'm reading

This July, I am excited to challenge myself to read through a list of diverse books from around the world. I am a new Board member and the Readathon campaign has inspired me to get back to nurturing my reading habit (which frankly has been suffering in this era of Youtube, Twitter and other social media!)

As a child growing up in India, books gave me a ticket to enter worlds very different from my own, and deeply enriched my imagination. I spent many happy summer afternoons devouring any new book I could find at my local library. I  hope to recapture some of that magic of getting lost in books again this summer. And what better way to do it than while raising funds for our county libraries!

I really appreciate the curation of voices from around the world in the San Mateo County libraries. Diverse perspectives are encouraged and given a platform, particularly in the children's section, which I consider so critical in today's world.

For my reading list, I have picked 6 books - one from each continent in the world! I am still working on Antartica and would love suggestions!
