Book Haul/// Puffin Bloom Boxset- A Very Special Book Haul to Celebrate 4 Years of Book-Blogging!

Hello!!!

Today I want to share a very, very special book haul.

This June marks 4 years since I started this blog of mine.

And I thought it would be fitting to mark this anniversary or blogaversary with a little bit of celebration.

My sister pretty much read my mind and got me this gorgeous, gorgeous boxset to help celebrate my book blog.

😀

Welcome Puffin Bloom Boxset to my life and bookshelf!
😀

I cannot tell you how much I love this beautiful boxset.

I've had my eyes on it since little sneak peeks were being released before it was even released.

If you didn't know I am madly in love with all things Rifle Paper Co. I love their stationery and their aesthetic is life.

I own notebooks by them and I am even considering getting a planner from them next year.

I love, LOVE their art style and when these books came out I was so smitten.

😍😍😍

Yet I didn't buy them right away.

Why?

Well I already owned copies of 2 out of 4 books.

And I had read 2 of these books already.

So I felt a little guilty for wanting it.

But...this boxset was calling out to me.

I kept it in my wish-list for years.

And finally my sister put me out of my misery and got me these beautiful books.

😊

Thanks Boo, you are the best sister ever!

Isn't it a thing of beauty?!

I am going to haul each book individually because something this gorgeous deserves every bit of attention and care.

The books in the boxset//

Little Women by Louise May Alcott

Heidi by Johanna Spyri

The Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett

Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery

I got my books from Amazon for a pretty good deal.

Happy Reading folks.

And thank-you so much for the love and support you've shown my blog over the last 4 years!

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...
