Crossword’s year end party invites book lovers to an evening of discussion with the authors of Mrs Funnybones Returns and The Music Room at Kemps Corner.
Crossword Bookstores is preparing to close the year with a lively literary gathering that brings together humour, conversation and the warmth of a community that continues to value reading. On 13 December 2025, the bookstore’s Kemps Corner outlet in Mumbai will host its Year End Book Club Party featuring an in person dialogue between two celebrated authors, Twinkle Khanna and Namita Devidayal.
The event begins at 5 pm and promises a relaxed evening of creative exchange. Readers will have an opportunity to listen to the authors speak about writing, observation, imagination and the everyday moments that shape their craft. The interaction is designed to be intimate and engaging, reflecting the bookstore’s long standing tradition of fostering meaningful conversations.
Twinkle Khanna arrives at the event following the release of Mrs Funnybones Returns, her much discussed sequel that blends sharp humour with reflections on contemporary life. Her writing is often rooted in personal experience and social insight, and readers can expect a candid exploration of how stories evolve and how humour informs her process.
Joining her is Namita Devidayal, the author known for The Music Room and other works that examine culture, memory and artistic discipline. Her thoughtful and measured approach to storytelling offers a complementary voice to the evening and ensures that the discussion will move beyond themes of writing into the deeper texture of creative practice.
Crossword’s Year End Party has become a familiar moment in the city’s cultural calendar. It brings together regular patrons, new readers and those who enjoy discovering authors in a setting that encourages conversation instead of formality. The event reinforces the role of physical bookstores as gathering spaces where ideas, perspectives and interests can intersect in natural and meaningful ways.
Attendance is free, although seating is limited and requires registration. Readers can secure a place through the provided link and join a session that celebrates the joy of literature and the pleasure of shared discussion. With two compelling voices leading the evening, the Year End Party offers an inviting close to the reading year and a memorable way to welcome the next one.
