It’s that time of the year again where we answer all your pressing questions and give our hot (and sometimes curmudgeonly) takes. Mae takes the reins as she poses an array of audience questions to Deepanjana and Supriya, about the world of books, sometimes food, other times film, and everything in between. From how to write a good book review to pet peeves about moral posturing, to books about critical theory and radical feminist discourse, The Lit Pickers are here to solve your predicaments. They also discuss book clubs, audiobooks, the joy of gifting books, and how sometimes there are cosmic forces at play to help you find a book. Sometimes stumped by questions, other times excited, and always collectively fangirling over authors, listen to Deepanjana and Supriya talk about what is their cup of tea and when they would rather have some filter coffee instead.

We're going on a brief summer holiday. Be back before you know it. If you miss us before then, please dive into our archive, or reach out to us on @supriyanair and @dpanjana on Instagram. 

If you have any books, reading or literature-related questions, please email us at contact@maed.in.
