Goodreads of the Internet #1

Last night on Clubhouse, a bunch of readers got together for a couple of hours and compiled a list of gems & rabbit-holes from the vast expanses of the greatest library known to humankind, i.e. the world wide web. Find them all in this post for your reading pleasure :)

Before we proceed, a special thanks to my co-moderator Nandini and fellow readers Teenu, Ashesh, Sernie, Anshuman, Neha, Ekta, Madhura, Varun, Sahithi, Dhara, Mitali and everyone else who was part of this random bibliotherapy experiment on a weeknight!
(Forgive me if I'm leaving anyone out; also if any goodread has been skipped. DM me in either case)

To be notified about further experiments, feel free to join the club :)

And now presenting...

The 'Goodreads of the Internet #1' Curated Feed (Hopefully Worth Your Attention and Time) in Four Parts!

[Wherever possible, I've linked out to a specific bit (of my choice) instead of the rabbit-hole's main page. Also, I'll be using captions sparingly to keep the length of this post under control. Treat it as a substitute for your social media feed and click whatever suits your mood at the moment :)

Happy Scrolling / Exploring!]
