Hello people

This is my very first blog post. So, my introduction.
I am Taanya from Delhi,India. I am a Jesus and Mary College, Delhi University student studying Psychology and Sociology. I am an avid reader and a bibliophile. "A cup of tea and a book is all I need." Reading book reviews is my favorite task. So, just thought why not  start with writing book reviews. My blog will contain book reviews as well as  articles or poems which I write. I hope you like my blog .
Hope to see you all.
