Book Haul: Books of February 2021 (eBook Haul.)

 Hello Loves! 

Remember how I was saying I didn't buy any books in February? 

Well that went for a toss. 

Harper Collins was and is still having a Mega Sale on their ebooks and I went to check it out and got a few books from them and one other book that had been on my wishlist for a while. 

Six books in total. 

A small haul. 

But a happy one. 



I've already read this book. 
A fictional suicide note of Rabindranath Tagore's sister-in-law Kadambari. Full of musings, hurt, love and longing and an insight into the lives of the Tagore family. 
I will talk more about it my reading wrap-up. 
I do feel like this book would have been a good, a better read in Bengali. It felt a little...I don't know off in English. 





A new Anuja Chauhan book.
Yes please! 
A thriller.
Yes please! 
My hopes are high for this one. 
I am so excited to read this one.

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...
