Book Haul: eBooks of January 2018.

Hello! 

While I am really good about sharing all of the physical books I buy in a month on this blog, I realised I kinda suck at sharing my eBook hauls. 
I buy at least a book or two on my Kindle and for some reason I just don't end up sharing those hauls on here. 
Not good. 
So this year onwards I've decided to showcase all of the eBook purchases on here. So with that goal in mind, let's see all the eBooks I've added to my life in January. 


A little overview! 
I got 8 books in total and I couldn't be happier.

I love that on a Kindle you can buy books the minute you decide you want a book and there is no waiting involved. Want to read something right this minute. Well, get it right this minute. A perfect solution for the spontaneous and impatient reader.

In total I bought 8 ebooks in January and we (my sister and I) have read 6 out of these 8 books.

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...

Review: Grandma's Bag of Stories by Sudha Murthy.

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.

Grandma tells the stories over long summer days and nights, as seven children enjoy life in her little town. The stories entertain, educate and provide hours of enjoyment to them. 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...
