What I read in May 2026
Part 3 of 5 in Monthly Books Summary
May was a two-book month - one a campus love story rooted in real events, the other a quiet sci-fi fable I'm still making my way through.
The Books:
Your Dreams Are Mine Now - Ravinder Singh
A Psalm For The Wild Built - Becky Chambers (Partial)
Your Dreams Are Mine Now
This is the love story between two students studying at Delhi University and what happened to them when tried to bring the change in University Politics.
The Plot
The story is between the two students - Rupali, a Bihari girl who joined DU with bigger ambitions and Arjun, a Delhite, second year student who is active in the DU student politics and fighting against changes to the reservation quota in the university. The story revolves around these two polar opposite souls, how various circumstances brought them together, made them fall in love, and pushed them to fight for change.
My Thoughts
After completion of this book, the title doesn't reflect what actually unfolds in the book even though the author tried to craft an ending that resonates with the title. The author drew from a real incident that happened in Delhi and built a story around it. Some conversations feel stretched where a few lines would've done. That said, it never bores you - overall a good, breezy read.
