Blogmas Day- 22: End of the Year TBR.

Hello!!!

I have been reading without a TBR for a few months now. It wasn't a conscious decision or anything but it just happened. I would have an idea as to which books I wanted to read over the month but I didn't quite make a concrete plan.
I do love making TBRs, in the long run it makes my reading life a little simpler.
With only a few days left in the year I want to make a little TBR.

Today I want to share my End of the Year TBR.

The month and the year are drawing to a close and my reading plans for the last few days of the year are fairly simple.

I want to read some wintery books and some season appropriate books.

I wanted to read one book from my Puffin in Bloom Boxset and decided on A Little Princess.

These books are so gorgeous!

And classics and winter seem to be a good match!

I have a few of Kamala Markandaya's books on my shelves but I haven't read any of them.

Hoping to start with this book.

I am currently reading this and really enjoying it.

I am so happy that I've read quite a few Non-Fiction books in 2017.

A Week in December!

A perfect December read!

So here is my TBR for the Year End

A Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett

A Silence of Desire by Kamala Markanda

Bookless in Baghdad by Shashi Tharoor

A Week in December by Sebastian Faulks

I hope to read all of these books, but even if I don't it's OK.
December is full of festivities and it's OK to not be reading like there is no tomorrow.
I just want to get A Little Princess, I am very excited to be reading it.

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...
