Hi, I’m Sudha Rayadurgam—but you might know me better as Luv2read.
ThoughtsUp was created with a simple purpose—to make reading more interactive, relatable, and community-driven. Through this content, I provide in-depth book reviews; curated reading recommendations; and podcast episodes like Bookethon, where book best friends and authors connect over casual yet insightful discussions about books, characters, and ideas that shape our thinking.
Books are not just my passion; they’re my world. I’m a book reviewer, alpha and beta reader, and editor who loves diving deep into an author’s creative universe. There’s something incredibly fulfilling about being part of a book’s journey—from brainstorming with authors to writing blurbs that bring their stories to life.
I don’t just read books—I get into them, explore them, and sometimes lovingly tear them apart during discussions. That passion for conversation and storytelling is what led me to create my podcast, BOOKETHON, where I connect with fellow readers and celebrate the magic of books.
On the personal front, I’m a proud mother of two teens. I hold a postgraduate degree and a B.Ed., and although I once envisioned a career as a software engineer, life had other plans. I discovered true joy and job satisfaction while teaching. Every moment with those little ones was a lesson in fun and patience.
Apart from reading, I’m a people’s person. I love meeting people, so I meet the authors the first chance I get and enjoy talking books. My professional training has honed my ability to pen down my thoughts on any topic, and once I start writing, my pen rarely stops.
Being an alpha and beta reader allows me to walk alongside authors as their ideas transform into stories. It’s a thrilling, rewarding adventure every single time.
So, that’s a little about me. If you’d like to join me on this journey through books, stories, and discussions, you can follow me on Instagram or Facebook or drop me an email.
