Book Haul: Books of February Part- II.

Hello! 

Coming at you with a tiny little book haul. 
These are the second batch of books I got in February, I got these on Amazon and I am most excited to jump into them..at some point. 

I am so kicked to have the gorgeous edition of Dr. Zhigavo. I spotted the Vintage Editions of Russian Literature on Instagram and I wanted them all...oh bookworm problems! 
But I decided to start with this. I have always wanted to delve into more Russian Lit but something keeps me away. Perhaps the sheer size of these books...but these beautiful editions are a good excuse to finally brave a new sort of book..for me. 

So let's see what I've added to my bookshelves lately! 


I seriously can't get over how beautiful this book cover is. It really is a work of art and a thing of beauty. I have half a mind to just leaving it lying around in my living room and not ever put it in a bookshelf! 


Look at it sunning itself on a Spring morning! 




'
Another Little Black Classic for my collection, which is measly at best. I currently only own 5 other books in these edition. But surely and slowly I will get more of these black beauties! 

Books Bought: 

Dr. Zhivago by Boris Pasternak 
In Other Rooms, Other Wonders by Daniyal Mueenuddin 
Gooseberries by Anton Chekhov 

I hope you are having a great today. 
I am currently trying to pick my next read. I finally finished a book in nearly a week, a quick pacy thriller I read on my Kindle called The Silent Child. It is such a relief to finally finish a book! 
:) 

Now I need to jump into a new book but before that I have so much stuff to get done! 
Only if life was about drinking coffee and reading books! 

:)

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...
