In a world where everything is increasingly judged by productivity and numbers, there are few places (especially on the internet) that let you just be. Shreya Punj, or The Editor Recommends as Instagram would recognise, tries to create that feeling, but specifically about reading and writing. If you've been looking to read without being pressured by bookstagram and write better, you should be following Indian publishing's coolest editor, who knows the ins and outs of what makes a book, and makes it fun. So we had a little chat, and here are a few of our favourite editor's favourite things.

myPaperclip Notebooks

Executive Series Notebook A5

Executive Series Notebook A5

₹395
I love using the notebooks from myPaperclip. I love the paper quality, the various colours, and the simplicity of these. I prefer using the blank A5 size. 

Sunscreen

Photon Hydra 360 Sunscreen Fluid Cream

Photon Hydra 360 Sunscreen Fluid Cream

₹951

PhotoHydra 360. My dermatologist recommended this to me, and I've been using it for the last two years. It leaves no white cast, keeps the skin hydrated, and applies well under makeup.

(Recent) Favourite Book

Manjhis Mayhem

Manjhis Mayhem

₹399

Manjhi's Mayhem by Tanuj Solanki. It's a fast-paced crime novel set in Bombay that will leave you breathless from the excitement and action. It's so brilliant and I'm going to recommend it to EVERYONE. 

DIOR Forever Liquid Lipstick

DIOR Forever Liquid Lipstick in the shade 458 is my favourite. It's so easy to apply, feels so light on the lips, and has impressive staying power. I loved using Kylie's liquid lipsticks earlier but as I'm growing older, I prefer lipsticks that don't dry out my lips.

Areca Palm

Areca Palm Plant XL

Areca Palm Plant XL

₹2999
Although my favourite house plant is whichever one stays alive! Right now, my snake plant and Areca palm make my house feel like home. 

Staedtler Text Surfers

Staedtler Text Surfer Dry Highlighter Pencil

Staedtler Text Surfer Dry Highlighter Pencil

₹695

I love reading with a pencil in my hand and dry highlighter pencils are the best for this. I've tried several brands and the Staedtler Text Surfers are excellent.

Notes App

GoodReads

GoodReads

I use GoodReads to track my reading sporadically. But I prefer tracking my books in a journal, or on my Notes app.

Home Decor

Modern Quests

Modern Quests

My home decor style is fairly minimal. I don't have too many tchotchkes as almost all the free space in my house is occupied by books. So, I don't have a specific brand that I love but I've bought many interesting things from MODERN QUESTS. I also love the cushion covers from Limon and The Greige Warp, and bought several functional pieces from Made with Spin (love their Cora Storage Box).

Kama's Bringadi Hair Oil

It reduces frizziness, keeps the scalp healthy, and most importantly, is easy to wash off. For hair styling, the Dyson AirWrap is amazing. If like me you have a LOT of hair, styling takes time so do keep that in mind before buying this. 

The Whole Truth Chocolates

Quinoa Crunchy Milk Chocolate - 6 Bars

Quinoa Crunchy Milk Chocolate - 6 Bars

₹549
I'm obsessed with The Whole Truth's chocolates. My favourite is the Quinoa Crunchy Milk Chocolate.
