Books on Toast is a Book Donation Drive and
Sale conducted in Mumbai by Anuya Jakatdar, an avid book lover and social media
junkie. The drive, in its fourth edition this year, begins with patrons
donating books at various drop off points across the city for a three-week
period, which culminates in a sale at The
HIVE, Khar on Saturday, 22nd and Sunday,

Books on Toast has transformed into a two-day books destination with a lot more
activities added to the agenda that range from book signings and readings by
popular authors to a Book Pub Quiz and a Book Exchange Party, making it a true
celebration of books and those passionate about them.
