Hi there,
How have you been? I hope the holiday season has brought you cheer.
There has been a lot happening in my life, since I last posted, even though I posted less than 12 days ago.
I was a part of the Bangalore Literature festival. I felt delighted that my session had a massive crowd, and was very well received, as you can see from the pictures.
For more photos you can go HERE.
The other BIG news from my side is that It's All In The Planets was featured among the 35 great books of 2016, by Indian authors.
What made me really happy was that it shares this honour along with greats like Ruskin Bond and Amitav Ghosh.
Here's what they said about It's All In the Planets:
On the personal front, I had a GREAT birthday. Easily one of the best I have had :) My family planned some great surprises for me. When I came back from my morning walk, this is what greeted me!
Of course I had to make a sketch :)
Here's a picture of me drawing it:
Then Satish told me that we were going somewhere and it is a surprise. We went to Tipu's palace, where I had always wanted to go, to sketch.
I had an amazing time, and this is what I sketched:
After that we went to a lovely Art cafe, where I had a wonderful time with my family. We ended this perfect day with a movie.(La La Land starring Ryan Gosling)
Meanwhile there were tonnes of people calling, wishing.
I do feel thankful for being loved so much.
I have been sketching a LOT and I feel lazy to upload them all here. If you want to have a look, please see my new Instagram Art page: https://www.instagram.com/preetishenoyart/
One of the things which regular readers will know is that I watch absolutely no television. In the past I have talked about how 'Breaking Bad' had me hooked, and how I watched the entire 5 seasons on Netflix. Another one which I binge watched in 2 days (It was that gripping!) was Stranger Things. (it is rated a 9 on imdb). Go give it a try, this festive season.
Have you all made your resolutions?
I will be making mine soon.
And I am also going to give away three handmade cards :)
Stay tuned for more.
You can also connect with me on my Instagram(Preeti. Shenoy) or Snapchat(Preeti.Shenoy) or Facebook Author Page.
Will blog again very soon.
Hope you are all having wonderful holidays, and hope you are making many happy memories with your loved ones.
Warmly

A love story that becomes so much more, and with characters that are beautifully fleshed out, Shenoy’s latest offering is a delight to devour in a single setting.
