Sonali Dabade is a writer, editor, book reviewer, BookTuber, Bookstagrammer, blogger, and an occasional poetess. She is an avid reader and left her software engineering job to focus on books. She would do anything for books, coffee, and sleep. She says she’d faint if she met any of her favorite authors - a long list that is better off not being shared here. People who know her know that she isn’t kidding when she says this. She dreams of traveling the world someday. A grammar nerd, Sonali loves to mull over ideas and storylines, and read books over a venti glass of cold coffee. Nothing smaller will suffice.
