Book Haul + Flip- Through//// Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls by Elena Favilli and Francesca Cavallo.



Hello! 

For today's post I want to share a very special little book haul. 
The kind folks at Penguin sent me this gorgeous book for review and I am so smitten. 
This book is such a work of art and such a wonderful little book. 
A perfect companion for girls looking for role models and a little bit of inspiration. 
:) 

It really is a stunning little book and I am so happy to add it to my bookshelves. 
I love that it has so many different kinds of women from different walks of life-- models, inventors, painters, aviators, artists, social workers, writers, musicians and so much more. 
This book is racially diverse and you will find women from all corners of the world find representation within it's pages. 
And from all age groups and time periods. 
There is really something for everyone within these pages.

I have already started reading this book, I am treating this as a bedtime read, reading 5-6 stories at a go, basically making the book last long. 

And I am loving it so far in.
A full review will be up once I finish the book. 
But for now let's see some of beautiful pages of this book! 




The end pages are gorgeous as well. 


Amen sisters! 


The art in this book is seriously out of this world! 




So happy to see Rani Lakshmi Bai, one of my personal heroes in this book. 



Good night fellow bookworms. 
It's time for me to cozy up with this delightful book. 

:) 

Thank- you Penguin Books for sending across this book to me. 
I really, really cherish it. 

:)

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...

Book: Grandma's Bag of Stories Author: Sudha Murthy Pages: 176 Read On: Paperback How Long It Took Me Read: 2 hours Plot Summary:   When Grandma opens her bag of stories, everyone gathers Around. Who can resist a good story, especially when it’s being told by Grandma? From her bag emerges tales of kings and cheats, monkeys and mice, bears and gods.

So come, why don’t you too join in the fun? General Thoughts: I've read quite a few Sudha Murthy books this year and really enjoyed them. I find them soothing, simple a...
