New Voices & First Book Loves: Vanshika Prusty's Hunger Games Love

Jun 1, 2018
1 min read

Today in our First Book Loves series we get to highlight an upcoming voice! We're excited to introduce you to Vanshika Prusty, writer, bookstagramer, voice to be on the lookout for!


From Vanshika:


The first book that got me into reading was The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, and it made me want to read more books like it. I don’t know what it says about me as a reader that all I wanted to read were world-ending novels, but it did influence the way I wrote because I found myself always writing books that we’re dealing with one or more political issues—like women’s issues, LGBTQIAP+ issues, People Of Colour issues, and the nuances of how those issue intersect. It’s possibly the reason why none of the books I’ve ever written are light, and deal with loads of political aspects of the life of any individual.


More about Vanshika:


Vanshika Prusty has spent her life between the pages of books, on trips across the world, sometimes writing, mostly reading, with a special place in her heart for anything magical that’ll sweep her into a different universe.


Find more of Vanshika's book loves, and some beautifully displayed book recommendations, on her Bookstagram (a Book Riot fav!): thatreadingwraith.


Also find her on Twitter: @VanshikaPrusty

One thing I find interesting about DM First Game Login discussions is that players often share completely different experiences. Not every experience applies to everyone, but hearing different viewpoints can definitely help people understand the game from more than one perspective.

My Gofo tracking history now includes arrived at Gofo regional hub, which marks another stage in the shipment’s route. This kind of scan is useful because it confirms the package has reached a regional processing point. I will check again for an update showing its onward movement.

I checked the expected timeframe for a SpeedX shipment because the latest tracking update did not show an immediate delivery date. The guide to speedx delivery times gives a useful explanation of transit periods and why delivery schedules can vary between different shipments and destinations.

The efficient design of snowrider makes it accessible to players using a wide range of browsers. Its smooth performance keeps the action responsive and enjoyable, allowing players to focus on avoiding obstacles, collecting rewards, and reaching impressive distances without unnecessary interruptions.
