As many of you guys already know, we love buying books and each Linger location has a library – it goes very well with the idea of a relaxed, do nothing vacation along with endless cups of tea and quiet pretty places!
More recently, we’ve been loving how a new wave of Indian authors are getting comfortable writing in a style that’s comfortable, not necessarily targeted at an audience abroad in content and style, and is also being picked off the (virtual?) shelves and read a lot. Indeed, our bookshelves themselves have quite a few of these.
So we thought we should formally support this and help more Indian authors be read by even more folks.
Here’s how. Every month, we’ll ask for recommendations on our Facebook page and Twitter feed for one Indian author, and based on what people popularly want, pick a few copies for our libraries. Our little bit through this will hopefully help at least 12 authors being read by a large set of people who visit our places every year!
So head over and suggest something 🙂
