AshishReads || Lie with me

Updated: Sep 11, 2020

Queer ¦¦ Lit Boy ¦¦ Feminist





Ashish is a 20-year-old gay boy who loves to argue and read. He recollects reading his first book - Rainbow High by Alex Sanchez, he later discovered that it is a gay story and he soon started looking for more queer stories, only to start writing his own.


He loves the book - Call me by your name and makes it a point to read it once a year since 2014. Coincidentally, I have read The Bastard Of Istanbul every year since 2014.


Ashish loves #bookstagram a little too much and often makes it a point to remind people to be kind.
