September 2014 To-Be-Read TBR List.

As much as I loved and adored reading all Indian books in August, it was a little restricting. A tad bit. So for September I am mostly going to read what I want, in most part. I am still making myself a TBR, But I am going to pick and choose very casually from it and I won't care too much if I stray entirely from it. Super casual.

Here is my list of books I hope to get to read...

1. A Murder is Announced by Agatha Christie
2. The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion
3. Blue Shoes and Happiness by Alexander McCall Smith
4. Rooftoppers by Katherine Rundell
5. The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon
6. The Woman in White by Wilkie Collins
7. The Time Machine by H.G. Wells
8. Justice for Sarah by Erica Splinder (I am going to buddy read this with my sister.)
9. Cold Comfort Farm by Stella Gibbons
10. S by Doug Dorst and JJ Abrams.
11. The Shadow of Your Smile by Mary Higgins Clarke.
12. Silent House by Orhan Pamuk
13. Tuck Everlasting by Natalie Babbitt
14. Wintergirls by Laurie Halse Anderson
15. Coraline by Neil Gaiman

That's it, I hope I get to some of these books. I also have a couple of books I have to read to review, so I will read those as well.

Have a happy reading month guys :)

I have been following your blog for quite some time now and to be frank, it amazes me that you are always reading or reviewing books all day! Congrats. I could not help but notice that you are quite feministic in the books you choose to read. I am just wondering if that is intentional.

Thank-you, reading is my super-power, so all this reading just feels natural to me. Well, as for the feminist thing, I am a feminist so maybe I am drawn to books with strong female characters.

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...
