I can’t thank you enough for your generous review. Coming from an award winning author like you it’s really special.
Thankyou Sinjana! Completely my pleasure and honor. Keep bringing such lovely places to us and continue to mesmerize the explorers in us 🤩❤
When Sinjana had revealed her theme in March this year I was quite intrigued since she was going to talk about some obscure locations in India. I did read a few posts from her but couldn’t manage many. I guess it’s time to get the book. Thanks for reminding me about it.
Thankyou for visiting, Sonia 😊 You will love the book!
