The monsoon season is the kind of season where half of the population grumbles and complain because of too much rain while the other half rejoice in the fact that it is finally raining because this gives them some respite from the unbearable heat of summer.
For us readers, the monsoon season is quite the luxury because it gives us the pleasure to wrap ourselves in our blankets, and pick up a book to read with a coffee in hand. Tell me something better than this. From a fellow bookworm to another, I guess we can all agree that this season is one of the best seasons that makes our reading experience luxurious, warm, and cozy.
On that note, here are the books that might make your monsoon reading a little bit better.
