Hello!
You might remember that I came down with the flu in the third-ish week of May. Sore throat, body ache and a high fever. All of that and the special Bombay May heatwave. NOT FUN! And when I fall sick I like to treat myself to a little something something. Let's just say I feel a little indulgent :) So I dragged myself out of bed and latched on to the laptop and a click here, a click there and I bought me some books!
A happy ending to a sad story.
And since I was treating myself...I actually got some books I wanted for a while but was holding off since they were a little expensive.
I am very happy with this book haul and so excited for all my new books.
I highly recommend doing something indulgent when you are feeling poorly. Get those books you wanted. Order that bag. Get those beautiful but impractical shoes. Just go ahead and Treat Yo'self!
Let's see all the lovely books I added to my bookshelves!
God! Isn't this book just the prettiest thing ever!?This was a true treat for me. It was in my Wishlist forever and I just didn't want to shell out INR. 378 for it...but I am so glad I did. I love it.
The art in this book was just amazing.
This gorgeous book was not part of my little haul. My sister had this on pre-order and we got in the mail around the time the rest of my books arrived.
This is of course the third and finaly installment in the Ibis Trilogy by Amitav Ghosh. My sister is dying to read this but has been busy all of June and hasn't had time to delve into this book.
I haven't yet started on the Ibis Trilogy which is crazyyyyy because I LOVE Amitav Ghosh!
Need to start on these books soon!
