Today's post is rather special; joining us today on The Seaside Library are book bloggers Saloni Porwal and Vibhiksha Yadav! Saloni and Vibhiksha write book reviews and other enticing articles for their blog,  BookGuru . Read on to know more about them and how their brainchild came to be! Tell me more about the three of you. How did you come upon the idea of creating a book blog?  Saloni-  I started writing a book in 2020, but I didn’t plan properly and I couldn’t write as well as I wanted to.

Author: Clare Pooley Acquired in: July 2021 courtesy Amazon.in Once a famous artist, Julian Jessop feels lonely and forgotten in his old age despite living in a paradoxically bustling London suburb. The drudgery of living in a house with only his memories and art for company compels him to write a brief chronicle of his life in a little green book. Hoping that his story would inspire someone else to live a better life, he leaves the book in a café, unaware of the owner's watchful eye. This story could have ended when the shop owner, Monica, knocks on Julian's door with good intentions, but fate ensures that the book is already affecting many other people. What could happen when these virtual strangers turn up in one place, guided only by the stories they wrote? Julian, Monica and the others are not purely fictional characters; they represent you and me! How often do you feel disconnected from your friends and loved ones, even in this era of enhanced connectivity? I experienced
