Karuna’s Kitaab Club

Author-poet Karuna Ezara Parikh had been sharing book recommendations online for years, before she decided to start her own book club on Instagram this year. “I simply thought it might be fun to formalise it, so that many readers could discover a book together,” says Parikh, “I have also been concerned by the drop in fiction reading, and decided to push that [at my club].” Books are announced on the first day of each month, chosen by a small team of readers, including Parikh. On the last weekend, the club has an online session with the author. “We also have a Discord server where we have lively book chats all month long. We have a Writing Retreat planned for September in Goa. We’re currently sold out of spaces, but it promises to be fun!” says Parikh.
