Book Haul: A Haul of Favourites.

 Hello Loves! 

Time for a book haul. 

I got these books in the last few days of December and these were bought with the express purpose of reading in the New Year. So this is a little bit of preparatory haul. 

But mostly this is a haul of favourites. 

Big and Lifelong Favourite- Ray. 

Comfort Favourite- Sudha Murty. 

Someone I've read before and loved- Tabish Khair. 

This was such a happy haul. 

And I've already read two books out of these five. 

So good tidings all around. 

A beautiful little book. 

I love these Puffin Chapter Books. Short, sweet, joyful and full of gorgeous art. 

This was no different. 

The Beauty of the Earth, a beautiful story of being generous and open to sharing. 

Sweet and this was my first read of 2023. 

And this book came signed. 

A very lucky surprise. 

I got these books from Amazon and was so surprised when I opened them up and saw they were signed and had a personal message. 

This made me so happy. 

Got the third and final book in the The Gopi Diaries, I adore these books and seeing Gopi get up to all kinds of antics. 

These books are warm and fuzzy and lovely and I can't wait to curl up with this book. 

It's too cute for words. 

I am hoping to read this tonight. 

Me, Gopi and a cup of tea. 

:) 

Good times. 

I have read two books by Tabish Khair. 

Jihadi Jane. 

 Night of Happiness. 

 I loved both these books immensely and when I saw that he had a new book out, I had to get it and I am hoping this is just as wonderful. 

Love how beautiful this cover is. 

And of course, there is this. 

Ray is a forever favourite. 

And I love having adding more books from the Penguin Ray Library to my shelves. 

I can't wait to jump into this book and re-read some old, very loved stories of Ray. 

A guaranteed good time. 

Here's the list of stories. 

A thing of joy.
