Welcome to a ‘slim pickings’ edition of Lit Pickers. In these short editions we answer some burning questions that have been asked by you, the reader, and joining us is the lovely Mae Thomas.

This week the trio discuss what makes a decent bookmark. Things take a bit of a dark turn when they start discussing the grossest things they've used as bookmarks and then Supriya drops a bombshell that might be sacrilege for bibliophiles around the globe. You do not want to miss this. You can find Supriya Nair at @supriyanair, Deepanjana Pal at @dpanjana and Mae Thomas at @maemariyam on Instagram. This is a Maed In India Production; check us out at www.maedinindia.in.
