Book Haul/// Books of March 2015. Part-I.

Hello! 

Here we are with the first ever book haul of 2015! Wow! How did this even happen?! I last bought books on the 26th of December 2014 and only six books at that. So very unlike me. 

I wasn't on a book-buying-ban or anything like that, it was just that with travel, books buying took a backseat. Well, now that I am back home, I jumped right in with my book buying. 

I bought these books from Amazon and got great deals on them. I've already read two books out of this bunch already and I am excited to read the rest soon! 

So let's get haulin'. 












I am so happy with all my books and I am so excited to get to them eventually. 

The Strange Library- Haruki Murakami 
A love-story for my Sister- Jaishree Misra 
Smart- Kim Slater 
The French Lieutenant's Woman- John Fowles 
An English Boy in New York- T.S. Easton 
Three Act Tragedy- Agatha Christie 
A Village by the Sea- Anita Desai 
Oscar Wilde and The Ring of Death- Gyles Brandreth
Something Happened on The Way To Heaven- Sudha Murthy 

Happy Reading Guys! 

I have more books on the way and will haul them once they arrive. :)

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...
