Quotes
Shefali Shah
Indian actress known for her roles in "Jalsa" and other films
“Because life will have its slacks. There will be days when emotions feel too heavy, feelings feel too loud, or everything just feels a little… meh. And on those days, I know I have a friend waiting for me. A story I haven’t met yet. A world I can disappear into for a while. Maybe that’s why I keep buying them. It’s not just books I collect. It’s little things to look forward to!”

“I am a book hoarder. I buy books knowing fully well that I have enough unread ones waiting for me at home. And yes, I am guilty of it… but I think I know why I do it.”
