Book Haul/// Flipkart Clearance Sale Haul. Part-I.

Hello!

In the last week of May, Flipkart had their 50-70% flat sale on selected books and of course, I hit it and hit it good!

I got 10 books..I think...and this is part one of that haul.

May 2015 was a good and blessed book buying month for me. Yay to new books! :)

So far in June, I haven't bought one single book. Not one..but that may change..you never know when the itch to book new books might strike again. :)

For now here are some new loves I added to my bookshelves.

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.
