My daughter and I had the most spectacular afternoon chatting to Bijal about books we loved. Not only was the setting perfect (who doesn’t like afternoon tea in a beautiful hotel?), but Bijal’s careful curation of suggestions for us, her attentiveness to our preferences and her extensive knowledge of literature made it an experience like no other. She went above and beyond to ensure we had as many recommendations as we could fit into the time, and followed up with more via email afterwards! This is the perfect gift for anyone who loves books, as well as anyone who just wants their day made a little brighter.

Bibliotherapy & Afternoon Tea - the perfect mix!
It was an absolute pleasure to meet Bijal and know so much about new fantastic books recommended based on myself and my girlfriend’s preferred reading genres, you will leave afterwards mesmerised beyond words, take away so much positive information for your next books to read, and even head down to the nearest bookshop straight away to purchase a few of them! Strongly recommend for any bibliophile, Bijal is a very lovely and friendly lady, overall a fantastic afternoon.

Her knowledge on books and literary trends is very affecting.
It was easy to locate the hotel. The ambiance of the hotel is really nice. Bijal is a great host. We had a nice chat about books and reading goals. Her knowledge on books and literary trends is very affecting. She provided helpful inputs on my reading life. You can sense her passion on books during our talks. I highly recommend this experience to anyone who wishes to start on a reading habit, and to gain insight on their reading life.

A superb tea and a lively discussion about books, different cultures and bibliotherapy
From just a brief exchange beforehand, Bijal managed to get a very good insight into what might be of interest to me. I had a wonderful afternoon with a superb tea and a lively discussion about books, different cultures and bibliotherapy, an intriguing concept I wasn't aware of before. I'm excited to get a crack on my bespoke book prescription.

An utterly delightful way to connect with family and books!
Our daughter treated my husband and me to this wonderful experience during our recent visit with her in London. The fancy tea, in itself, responded to my American fantasy of what a "real" tea might be like--gracious, delicious, even entertaining!
Before the tea, Bijal gathered some information from each of us about our reading preferences, and then led us through an enjoyable, free-flowing and energetic conversation about books. As she suggested books of possible interest, the conversation would spin off into new realms of books and ideas.
This experience was a perfect way for my husband, daughter and me to discover and appreciate new dimensions of each other, and--speaking for myself--even to be surprised to discover aspects of ourselves. (I was struck by the wide range of books that I've been reading or, more often, listening to as audiobooks.) I saw points in common with both my husband's and daughter's interests.
Bijal was a perfect host and guide for this adventure--enthusiastic, very widely read, and always affirming and delightful! The "book prescription" she sent us afterwards extended the adventure further.

I had a great time with Bijal.
The location is absolutely gorgeous and the afternoon tea at it’s best. As a very nice addition you get a Bijal’s expertise in the literature that will help you to focus on what you are currently looking for (either some self-help books or just new authors who write entertainment books). Bijal can recommend you a tailor made reading list that I cannot wait to start with.

My experience with Bijal was great.
We were able to meet up with no issues and had a wonderful afternoon tea. I appreciated the amount of thought and personalization Bijal put into each book recommendation. While I wouldn’t change a thing, Bijal made it clear that constructive criticism was always helpful to her, which further proved her thoughtfulness for her clients. I’m looking forward to getting started on my booklist!

The best “high tea” I’ve had in London!
I wanted to impress my parents (who were visiting me here in London) and they loved the combination of learning something new, while getting more time to know each other’s preferences as well. Bijal blew us all away with her extensive knowledge of books in many genres and individualized “prescriptions” for next reading lists for each of us. I had never thought to do an experience around books and reading, but this was fantastic — and the benefits will last well beyond our time together over the best “high tea” I’ve had in London!

Bijal blew away my expectations with her bibliotherapy session.
After a brief message exchange where I described my preferred genres and current life goals, we met for a lovely afternoon tea and proceeded to discuss her book recommendations for me. Bijal summarized each title describing how they were relevant to my interests and could support the direction I am headed career wise. I could tell she put a lot of care and thought into curating the right books for me. This was also my first afternoon tea in London and the tea, snacks, and venue were very nice. I left feeling excited to jump into reading again and like I had a great list of options to pick from. Highly recommend this experience.
