chai tea 🙄 is like saying cafe coffee

chai just means tea

hi, nice to meet you!

Hi everyone! I don’t think I ever introduced myself when joining but I’m Annitta. I’m from the U.S. but my dad was from India and my mom’s Mexican. I read a pretty wide range of book genres but in the last few years I’ve definitely been focusing more on desi rep and I’m so excited to be more active on good reads this year and read with you all <3

heyy annitta! welcome! glad to have you here. i love that you're exploring desi literature; there are many great stories. looking forward to interacting with you xx

I am 50 years old and living on the east coast of the USA. Not of Indian origin but have read some books about it, and watched never have i ever and Ms marvel. Happy to learn more about the culture. I did hatha yoga for about 10 years. Really want to vacation in India someday. So I am ready to read, talk, and learn. Feel free to friend me and educate me about whatever. I also love Indian food! Don't know if that counts. Nice to meet everyone!

heyy lisa! love your enthusiasm towards learning more about south asian culture. there’s so much richness in the literature, food, music, traditions, etc. looking forward to interacting with you xx

hi!! new to goodreads and book clubs… im nelofer and i’m a first-gen half-indian, half-pakistani american. i’m postgrad and super unemployed aka lots of free time so even though i have 3 other reads i am working on, i will definitely pick up the february book before the month is up :) super excited to be in this group!

hey nelofer (such a pretty name, btw) welcome to the group! i also love reading multiple books at once, but i often end up taking on too many and it becomes overwhelming 😭. can’t wait to chat about the february book with you!

hii everyone! i’m devika, i’m 26 and from the US. i used to love reading so much as a kid and im finally getting fully back into it. love desi books and also japanese books! i would love to do a book club here and connect w new friends :3
