Sonali Bendre’s Book of Books to hit the stands on April 23

Actress Sonali Bendre Behl will share her long-standing passion for books in her latest publication, A Book of Books, which will hit the stands on April 23, HarperCollins India announced on Friday.

The book, which has ‘13 reasons why everyone should read’, is aimed at everyone who loves books. Bendre’s second non-fiction also suggests what to read, with recommendations for children, young adults and adults, across genres and for varied reading interests. “Reading has been my constant companion, shaping my perspectives and enriching my life in countless ways. With A Book of Books, I hope to share this joy and help readers—both young and old—cultivate a lifelong love for reading. This book is more than just about books; it’s a guide, a journal, and a friend in every reader’s journey. I believe the stories have power to connect, heal and inspire, and I wanted to create something that encourages that connection,” the Sarfarosh actress said in a statement.

The award-winning actress turned author with The Modern Gurukul: My Experiment with Parenting in 2015 in which she shared her experiences as a mother navigating modern parenting. Bendre’s love for books inspired her to create ‘Sonali’s Book Club’, a digital community celebrating literature and meaningful conversations. The book, priced at Rs 599, is available on pre-order. — PTI
