Every year, we celebrate days for different things, be it as trivial as World Nutella Day (February 5th, in case anyone was wondering) or as important as World Earth Day, which is April 22nd—there is a day for everything. And today, we celebrate World Book Day—to encourage reading and reiterate the fact that books are AWESOME, period. A book can transport you to places far and wide; it can open your mind to possibilities that wouldn’t occur to you otherwise; it can educate you and teach you new things; it can soothe your heart and soul; it can provide an escape; it can do so many things. And so, we decided to ask around the office to see if you could come up with a nice little reading list for you…and for us! This is what Team MissMalini is reading right now.
