<p>We’re a book club based out of Bangalore (or Bengaluru if you prefer) co-created and run by <ahref="https://www.linkedin.com/in/abhiramr5459/">Abhiram R</a> and <ahref="https://www.linkedin.com/in/radhika-c/">Radhika Chauhan</a> in early 2017. We’ve been active since then conducting meetups on the 4th Sunday of (almost) every month apart from author events, writing prompts etc. If you like books and want to talk or hear about them with a group of like minded folks, you’re in the right place! :)</p>

The 37th meetup of BBB and the 1st meetup of the year happened on the 31st of Jan. We had a couple of newbies and also Deepti Srivatsa, who happens to be the author of a Crime novel called “The Hauntup”! The discussion also meandered into talking, among other things, about authors who build interlinked worlds in their noves a la Brandon Sanderson and also whether or not movies that end up having multiple sequels are cashgrabs or actually have significance.

The 34th meetup of BBB happened on the 25th of October and we had a fun and spirited discussion as always! Some of these books Have been discussed before but that didn’t prevent us from exploring their existence from perspectives we hadn’t before - for e.g. translated works - Is there necessarily a possibility of the source and the translator having different levels of importance? Or do they play an equal role?

Our 31st meetup in all and our third meetup online was a small informal meetup that quickly escalated into a discussion of books! A lot of history, and non-fiction this time, with a dash of fiction. And that, is one good recipe for an awesome discussion. One of the books on this list opens up closer home,an amazing work of fiction penned by a BBB member and a friend of ours - John Raju :) ; the book in question being The Purgatory of Half Forgotten Riddles.
