Hello Loves!
This post is soooo ridiculously late it's not even funny. Look at me doing my Birthday Book Haul in April! I actually clicked these pictures in February itself but forgot about them and my sad big camera.
I have been meaning to do this post for a while, because book hauls are some of my favourite posts to read and share. Especially my birthday book hauls that bring me sooo much joy. It's honestly the only time I buy books sans any guilt of any kind. I buy books all year round, of course I do, but I feel so guilty and try not to buy pricey books.
But my birthday is when all bets are off.
Ok enough rambling.
Time for books.
Here is my 2022 Birthday Book Haul.
BOOKS BOUGHT:
More Adventures of Kakababu Vol.II by Sunil Gangopadhyay
I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou
The Firebird by Saikat Majumdar
Chhotu by Varud Gupta and Ayushi Rastogi
The Demoness, The Best Bangladeshi Stories from 1971 to 2021.
Whereabouts by Jhumpa Lahiri
The Calcutta Chromosome by Amitav Ghosh
A mix of genres.
Indian Lit.
Bengali Lit.
A classic.
A gift too.
An some Faves.
Some Bangladeshi short stories that had been on my radar for so long. I love short stories and this collection will introduce me to so many new writers and I am happy to delve into their work.
This special little book was a special birthday gift from Bhavya and Sabi. IG friends who very kindly sent me something from my Wishlist. And it's a book I'll treasure forever.
:)
I've re-read it already and I love it so much.
The only Jahnavi Barua book I hadn't read and now I have. Short stories that you must pick up.
Beautiful and sad and lovely and wonderful.
:)
Highly recommend, not just this but all of her books.
A Ghosh I haven't read before but want to. Hoping to pick it up soon.
A classic I have meant to read forever and so glad I finally got it and read it. Moving and inspiring and lovely, everything I had hoped it would be. Can't wait to read the rest of her memoirs.
Something fun for everyone.
I really enjoyed Volume 1 of the Kakababu stories and this beautiful book was so much fun too.
A graphic novel pick. Honestly this one was a let down. I didn't particularly enjoy it.
Not for me.
A writer I have been meaning to read for while. He has a few books out and I decided to start with this one. I did like the writing the world this book is set in. But overall this book and it's tone and certain characters and their motivations left me a little underwhelmed and dissatisfied.
Not the best.
I might give his other stories a whirl but with cation.
A small but happy haul.
