E-Book Haul: Part- 3/ E-Books of June 2014.









I really should do more eBook hauls, because I sure do buy a lot more than I ever share on the blog. 

These book I have acquired in the last month and some in the last few days. Some for my Kindle and some for my iPad. Lately, I've really enjoyed reading on my iPad, the battery life is shit but the screen size and retina display just make me very happy. 

Some of these books I've already read- Merciless, Inland, Say Her Name and Everything Leads to You and will be reviewing them over the next few days. The rest I am very excited to read. 

Mr. Mercedes- Stephen King- I cannot wait to read this. I am saving this for a dark, rainy day to get maximum thrills out of it. Plus, I really want to read more of Mr. King's work. 

Merciless- Danielle Vega- YA horror/torture novel. 

Love Letters to the Dead- Ava Dellaira 

Inland- Kat Rosenfield 

Say Her Name- James Dawson 

Everything Leads To You- Nina LaCour 

What The Dead Know- Laura Lippman- my sister just finished reading this last night and might review it soon. 

American Wife- Curtis Sittenfeld - I have heard phenomenal things about this book and I cannot wait to read it. 

Happy Reading guys. And have a wonderful weekend!

Book Review: The Room on the Roof by Ruskin Bond.

Some snippets of the stunning art inside the book!  Book: The Room on the Roof Author: Ruskin Bond Illustrator: Ahlawat Gunjan Pages: 171 Read On: Hardback How Long It Took Me To Read: 3 days or so. Plot Summary:   Rusty, a sixteen-year-old Anglo-Indian boy, is orphaned and has to live with his English guardian in the claustrophobic European part in Dehra Dun. Unhappy with the strict ways of his guardian, Rusty runs away from home to live with his Indian friends. Plunging for the first time into the dream-bright world of the bazaar, Hindu festivals and other aspects of Indian life, Rusty is enchanted … and is lost forever to the prim proprieties of the European community.  General Thoughts: This book is super special. Not only this 60th anniversary edition an absolute beauty. This is also a signed copy I picked up from Mussoorie when I was in Landour earlier in the year. This is perhaps one of Ruskin Bond's mo...
