Holiday TBR.












These are all the books I brought along with me for my holiday. 10 books. I hope to read these books while I am here. So far I've read 4 of these books. I tried reading Amsterdam but just can't get into it. So I've given up on it. 

The rest of it I will get to eventually. I also have a couple of books that I left here the last time I visited. 

And I have my Kindle with 300 books. So I am all set with my reading. 

Happy Reading.

I was surfing the net aimlessly, hoping to know about some newly released book,and suddenly, thanks to Google, I stumbled across your blog. It is AMAZING. I LOVED IT. It feels so great to find a fellow bibliophile (at least that it what I call myself). I was looking for some reading suggestions, and your writing gave me enough information to sustain a year. Thank you soooo much. I do not know if you realize this, but you are doing a fantastic social work.
Today is Saraswati Puja, and its her blessing, her encouragement for me to keep reading. May God bless you.
I am a avid reader of Bengali Books as well as English. I do not know if you have read Bibhuti Bhusan Bandyopadhyay. If you have not, then you must. He is my favourite.

Keep Reading & Keep Writing.

Thanks,

Hi Ajita :) Thank-you so much for your very kind comment. It made my day and brought a big smile on my face :) I am so happy you like my blog.

I haven't read any books by Bibhuti Bhusan Bandyopadhyay but have of course heard of him. Sadly, I don't read in Bengali so need to find a suitable translation to read his works in. I look forward to read his work. :)

Thank-you for stopping by on my blog.

Unhappy with the strict ways of his guardian, Rusty runs away from home to live with his Indian friends.
