Book Haul/// Books of September 2015.

Hello! 

I haven't had a book haul on here in a while now.
Not since July...
I did buy some books in August...4 I think but I immediately put them away on my shelves and didn't get around to taking pictures of them and sharing them on the blog. I did share two of my new books on Instagram. But not on the blog. 
I almost didn't post this haul either since I only have 3 books to share.
Yup!
Just 3 books! 

My book buying is pretty slow right now.

It's not intentional...not really. 
In August I read all Indian books and I had a whole shelf of books set aside so I didn't need any new books. 

In September...I realised it felt good to not buy books for the sheer heck of it. 
Don't get me wrong I still love buying books..but there was nothing I really wanted apart from the books I just got..

Another thing is my folks are visiting for a few months and the sight of my bookshelves and stacks of books everywhere in the flat is not something they are huge fans of! :( 

So I am trying not to get 10 books in one go in their presence. 
Once they leave...:))))) 

Now on to the books...











I am so pleased, so freaking pleased with these books. 
Two Man Booker Short List books and a new Murakami!
What's not to love?! 


A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara--- Reading it now and very close to finishing it. 

A Spool of Blue Thread by Anne Tyler

Wind Pinball by Haruki Murakami 

Happy Reading guys. 

My future reading life is all set to be happy. 

:)

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...
