Book Haul/// Diwali Book Haul.

Hello! 
How does a bookworm celebrate Diwali?
Well..she buys some books! 
:)
What did you expect?! 
I bought some books from Amazon during their Diwali sale. 
I got some of the books I had on my wish list for a little bit. 
Let's see what I've added to my bookshelves lately. 




Books Bought 

The Trap by Melanie Raabe 
Chain of Custody by Anita Nair 
Queen of Dreams by Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni 
One Point Two Billion by Mahesh Rao 
The Pearl That Broke It's Shell Nadia Hashimi 









I am so excited for this bunch of books. 
I love Nadia Hashimi's newest book The House Without Windows last month and loved it and had to read more by her. 

The Trap is something I found via Instagram, it sounds wonderful and I can't wait to read it. My sister is reading it right now.

Anita Nair's Inspector Gowda books are good fun..this is the second one in the series and I want to read it soon. 

And a Divakaruni book is always a delight. This one though is fairly melancholic and I had am taking a little bit of time to get through it at the moment. 

And how gorgeous is the cover for Mahesh Rao's book?
A bunch of short-stories that I am always up for. 

So much happy reading in my future! 

:)
