In this episode of KPV, I talk about my experience at the Chennai Book Fair 2026, the books I picked up, the genres I gravitated towards, and a few unexpected finds along the way. From crowded book stalls to quiet reading corners, this episode is all about what made this year’s book fair memorable for me.

✨ Special mention: I also share my experience from a separate and special author meet & greet session with Sathosi Yagisawa. This intimate conversation didn’t happen at CBF ’26, but it added a meaningful layer to my reading journey this year.

A short, honest episode about books, authors, and why book fairs still feel special. Press play if you love books beyond just buying them 🎙️📖
