Book Haul: eBooks I've Recently Bought.

 Hello Loves!

Time for a little Book Haul. An eBook haul. I tend to share my physical book hauls more often than I do with the additions to my Kindle. I do some Kindle flip-throughs on IG via Reels but I figured I'd do a good old fashioned book haul here as well. I keep buying books on my Kindle because 

a) It's far too easy. 

b) It's often a cheaper option, especially for new releases. 

c) I love my Kindle. 

So here are some new additions to my eBook shelves. Mostly books I've bought and some are via Kindle Unlimited. 

:) 


The School for Good Mothers by Jessamine Chan~ what I am reading currently. 
The Sentence by Louise Erdrich~ my sister's latest read. 
The Treble with Murder by Christy Barritt 
A Deadly Affair by Agatha Christy~ might read this next month.


Arsenic and Adobo by  Mia P. Manansala~ Something I think my sister has been sampling. 


Silent Parade by Keigo Kagashino~ I might read this for January in Japan. 
Tell Me How To Be by Neel Patel ~ I read his collection of short stories last year and figured I'd enjoy his novel too. 
Empire of Pain by Patrick Radden Keefe~ This one sounds amazing and I am trying to read a little more non-fiction this year. 
How To Tell The Story of an Insurgency Edited by Aruni Kashyap ~ I can't wait to read these stories set in Assam. 
The Year I Stopped Trying by Katie Heaney~ I read this in bits and pieces last year and didn't quite love it. 
The Last House on the Needless Street by Catriona Ward~ sounds odd and whimsical and should be fun. Hoping to read it before winter is over.

The Hindu Way by Shashi Tharoor~ Haven't read any Tharoor in absolute ages and might give it a whirl at some point. 
The Book of Form and Emptiness by Ruth Ozeki~ Another contender for January in Japan. 
Young Bloofd by Chandrima Das~ horror stories set on college campuses across India. I am dying to read this soon!

Dakhma by Hari Kumar~ more horror to read on cold, foggy winter nights. 


The M Train by Patti Smith~ more non-fiction and a writer I've heard so much about. 
Some Annie Ernaux that I want to read soon.
To Paradise by Hanya Yanagihara~ of course I got it. I am not sure if I will get to it immediately or wait a minute...let's see. 
True Crime Story by Joseph Knox~ something my sister wants to read soon. 
The Boyfriend by Michelle Frances~ a thriller. Haven't read one in a while 
The Greatest Odia Stories Ever Told~ also a current read. 


Cloud Cuckoo Land by Anthoy Doerr~ this is mostly for my sister to read.

Book Review: The Room on the Roof by Ruskin Bond.

Some snippets of the stunning art inside the book!  Book: The Room on the Roof Author: Ruskin Bond Illustrator: Ahlawat Gunjan Pages: 171 Read On: Hardback How Long It Took Me To Read: 3 days or so.
