Book Haul/// Books of April 2015, Part- III --- The Cheer Up Haul!

Hello!

This tiny book haul was my--need to feel better right now--book haul. I had a crappy start to a day and I desperately needed to feel better. And nothing, nothingggggg makes my frown turn upside down like browsing in a bookshop and buying some books.

So on a crappy day that was what I did.

I spend sometime at Crossword Bookstore and came home with four books and some other assorted bookish things.

Let's see shall we?

Two notebooks--- the paisley one on the left is for my sister and of course the floral one is mine.

Crossword has some seriously cute stationery that they stock. A happy surprise.

Books Bought:

The Weight Loss Club- Devapriya Roy

Strangers on the Roof- Rajendra Yadav

One, Two Buckle my Shoe- Agatha Christie

A Pocketful of Rye- "

A new Indian author to try + A Penguin Modern Classic+ 2 Agatha Christie books!

I am excited!

And finally...and most excitedly! Three new sets of Little Miss and Mr. bookmarks. I loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee these babies. I already owned Little Miss Chatterbox and Little Mr. Tickle and my sister spotted these, so I got Little Miss Bad, Little Miss Princess and Mr. Happy.

Eeeeeeeeeeeep! So happy.

These books and these cute bookish things just made me happy and forget about the things stressing me out.

Also just getting out of the house and seeing people and getting out of my head helped too.
