Book Haul/// Books of March 2015. Part-I.

Hello!

Here we are with the first ever book haul of 2015! Wow! How did this even happen?! I last bought books on the 26th of December 2014 and only six books at that. So very unlike me.

I wasn't on a book-buying-ban or anything like that, it was just that with travel, books buying took a backseat. Well, now that I am back home, I jumped right in with my book buying.

I bought these books from Amazon and got great deals on them. I've already read two books out of this bunch already and I am excited to read the rest soon!

So let's get haulin'.

I am so happy with all my books and I am so excited to get to them eventually.

The Strange Library- Haruki Murakami

A love-story for my Sister- Jaishree Misra

Smart- Kim Slater

The French Lieutenant's Woman- John Fowles
