There's so many myths and misconceptions about book clubs. When I started my book clubs in Lahore, there wasn't one space that even used the term to describe their reading circles. Today, while most parents know what book clubs are, they aren't sure if this is an activity their child should be engaging in.
You'd think your child is a big time reader and what good could a book club do? Or that your child is a non-reader and that book clubs are something they won't enjoy. You might think your child is a struggling reader and thus they wouldn't be comfortable or that their English is so good they'd rather brush up on other skills. All these are myths! Book clubs are the safest, most productive, most hands on way to get your children learning about the world. Books educate multidimensionally and our readers are brilliant readers, writers, thinkers, debaters and creators. Books inspire and book clubs give you the confidence to think and speak and develop a mind of your own.
Here's the three kinds of readers you'll find at our Book Clubs. Where does your child fit in?

A. The Non- Reader

This is the typical student who comes to us. They aren't big time readers and don't enjoy independent reading. The book club becomes and intervention for them and we initiate and kick-start their reading journey. It's wonderful to hear parents and grandparents retell stories of kids packing their books for sleepovers and chuckling their way through their weekly reading targets!

B. The Reluctant Reader

This kind of child enjoys reading a certain kind of book and won't go beyond their Dork Diaries, Wimpy Kids and Roald Dahls. Everything else is grim and dull. Don't let them fool you. There's a whole new world our there for them to explore and better, more fascinating, more exciting things that bookstores have to offer. This kind of reader often leaves gleaming and ends up making some real book friends at the book club!
The Big Time Reader!

This child is through their Wimpy Kids and Palacios and Blytons and often enjoys the classics you're so proud to boast off. You think, my child always has their nose in a book. What good is a bookclub? Let me tell you, these are the best kind of people for book clubs. Not only do they get to talk at length about the things that fascinate them but also make bookish friends along the way (every reader knows how crucial that is!). Book Clubs allow them to come out of their comfort shells and to explore their writing, communication and comprehension skills. Most of these students graduate our Book Clubs having turned into writers, debaters, oraters and critical thinkers.

Which group does your child fit in? Either way, it's time to set a date! Let's talk in the comments below!

☀️☀️Summer Clubs are here! ☀️☀️
It's a bright sunny summer camp!
Posting our list of summer clubs here on popular demand. Before I'm flooded, here's our FAQs answered for your convenience.

▪︎ Clubs are weekly and in person. We meet once a week.

▪︎ Clubs are not free of charge.

▪︎ Students need to buy the book of the month. We don't sell but we can help you find them.

▪︎ For Club Readaloud, having the book is not compulsory, though it is recommended for reinforcement.

▪︎ Clubs are drop-off. For younger children who aren't comfortable, we encourage parents to stay till the child is settled.

▪︎Clubs are charged per month.

▪︎What do we do? Clubs are designed to work on developing independent reading routines, work on vocabulary and language acquisition, critical thinking, public speaking and other things. Club activities vary according to the theme of the book and the areas of focus. The idea is for students to not simply read but experience and live the books they are reading

▪︎ It's tons of fun. Don't believe us? Sign up and find out!

To register, send in DM or a WhatsApp. Clubs start June 4th.

My most favourite bookclub is back! Perfect for those learning to read independently, Club Readaloud is not only aimed at getting our children to enjoy independent reading but also benefit from a holistic group reading experience.

These four sessions have been carefully planned to work on students' critical thinking and ability to interpret reading material. My aim with this bookclub is to train my wonderful little readers to go beyond the pages, read between the lines and search for nuances that the average reader reads through.
I train my little readers to find something new everytime they read an old book and this is the one skill that has helped me retain and cherish my love for literature over the years. It is never about how fast or how advanced your reading is, it is always about how in depth and critical your reading experience is.
Our bookclubs are a two way process that help us learn with and from each other. We work on vocabulary and language skills through a variety of targeted learning approaches and it really is great fun!
If you're looking for a space for your child where they can learn and explore themselves and their creative abilities, bring them in for this fantastic bookclub. We read, explore and interpret and learn tenfold. We also dress up, play games and indulge in performing arts but those are just the little surprises to keep our readers on their toes!
To join the club, send in a DM and register online. Limited seats available.

Who: 4 - 6 year olds
When: Sundays at 3:30pm
Where: DHA, Phase 5, Lahore.

Here's what happened!
Loved Loved Loved our low key meet up after nearly two years!
We talked , shared recommendations and spoke of our experience with some weird, notorious books. It was a blast and I feel like I've come back feeling truly rejuvenated!
Here's letting you know we'll be out and about town with our books so if you happen to come across a group of girls raving about fictitious characters, just know you're absolutely invited!
To books and better times!
And all those who stuck by, thank you for being there and thank you for making the effort. I truly appreciate it.

First writeup of the year and I'm utterly sorry for the disappointment I offer. This isn't a review, it's a rant, partly about the book that you see and partly of my own inadequacy. Ever felt like liking a book real bad? Like you picked up something because you thought this would blow you away?
With this one, I waited. I waited like a good little schoolgirl who was waiting to be asked to prom' I gave it ample time to seduce me, or even drag me along but I'm afraid though I was stood up here, big time. To find out how and why, or perhaps even share your own disappointment with this or another book you were really keen to enjoy, join and myself tomorrow via Zoom!
For details Swipe ➡️ and in the comments below, let us in on some of the books that left you flabbergasted, or something similar. You'll be helping lots of readers steer clear of dead ends.
Don't forget to join in tomorrow 6pm India and 5:30pm PST. Grab your coffees and whine with us! (Or not)😉
PS: Instagram now helps you set a reminder through my post. DO IT!

🥳Our Little Reader's Club has always been a hit and ever since I've started working on resuming the physical bookclubs, I was sure that this club was going to be the first in line. I've missed my little readers So SO much!

Online learning has it's days but nothing beats the energy of a room full of excited little readers squealing with joy as you tickle their imaginations with stories of pirates, gnomes, fairies and many times extraordinarily ordinary people.

Our little readers program is focused on building a strong relationship with literature in early years through activity and play based sessions that revolve around building and sharpening:

A. Critical thinking
B. Evaluative and assessment skills
C. Public Speaking
D. Vocabulary strengthening

No big news that I could hardly read this summer but the winds have brought with them a sense of serenity I'm quite relishing and so it was only fitting I share it with my bookstagram buddies.
Pictured here are all the books I am currently reading. Yes, I really am. I don't know what will come of it but for now, I'm loving switching between books and cleansing my much cleansed palette. Some of these are review copies, a couple for bookclubs and a tad bit are there purely because of greed. Can you guess which one I'm almost done with?
Take your time, I'll be waiting...

Did you know of this too good to be true Around The World Readathon that .and.babes and myself are hosting?
Every month, my fantastic friends from the bookstagram community sit down to discuss works of fiction from different countries around the world and this month, I'm proud to say, they're stopping over in Pakistan 🇵🇰 for this much acclaimed debut by the lovely
Heard of it? Well, here's the blurb:
▪︎ ▪︎ ▪︎ ▪︎ ▪︎ ▪︎ ▪︎ ▪︎ ▪︎ ▪︎ ▪︎ ▪︎ ▪︎ ▪︎
"Set in Lahore, This House of Clay and Water explores the lives of two women. Nida, intelligent and lonely, has married into an affluent political family and is desperately searching for some meaning in her existence; and impulsive, lovely Sasha, from the ordinary middle-class, whose longing for designer labels and upmarket places is so frantic that she willingly consorts with rich men who can provide them. Nida and Sasha meet at the famous Daata Sahib dargah and connect-their need to understand why their worlds feel so alien and empty, bringing them together.

On her frequent visits to the dargah, Nida meets the gentle, flute-playing hijra Bhanggi, who sits under a bargadh tree and yearns for acceptance and affection, but is invariably shunned. A friendship-fragile, tentative and tender-develops between the two, both exiles within their own lives; but it flies in the face of all convention and cannot be allowed.

Faiqa Mansab's accomplished and dazzling debut novel explores the themes of love, betrayal and loss in the complex, changing world of today's Pakistan." 
▪︎ ▪︎ ▪︎ ▪︎ ▪︎ ▪︎ ▪︎ ▪︎ ▪︎ ▪︎ ▪︎ ▪︎ ▪︎ ▪︎

So glad to be finally reading this and I'm particularly intrigued by the fact that the novel seeks to explore the lives of the transgender community that make a visible part of our culture and population but seem to be perpetually underrepresented (or stereotyped) in mainstream media. Care to join us and meet some booknerds over zoom? Just grab your copy from and DM me to join the readalong.
PS: Follow these bookclubs already!
