Impulsive post :P Wat are u guys upto?? How is the week treating u?? I started d week with loads of shopping for clothes including a brand new track suit :D Weightloss is exhilarating na??
Excitement has come down considerably as I have more to go :\ And am bit confused nw. Figuring out will take time. Hopefully not too long. Otherwise the RED denims I have been lusting after for like 2 months will vanish off the shelves and haunt me forever!
On other events I have finished 3 of the books that I gt as a part of my book haul :)
Liked only the James Patterson one. Stephanie Plum was def not to my liking.
Just started on The Krishna Key by Ashwin Sanghi :)
So which book are u currently reading??
I love reading books.They are my best companions :) Also since I usually travel to long distances nothing beats boredom than a suspense thriller :)
The Book fair in Chennai is held every year in the month of January and I have been visiting it for 7 or 8 years!FYI, this is the 36th book fair with about 747 stalls and 450 participants! 10 lakh titles and 1 crore books!
I visited it yesterday and walked like a zombie :P I am planning to visit it again.It is like a whole world of books where I can get trapped and not even realize ;)
Sharing some pictures :)
Sorry for the low quality pictures I didn't take my cam plus I was so engrossed in the stalls that I nearly forgot to take snaps :P
And My haul :
What's inside those bags???? My mum was super sweet and bought me so many books since I am officially broke :D Luv u Mum :* :*
I wanted to get the Life is what u make it and 7 Secrets of Shiva too :P
There was this offer in one of d stalls (don't remember d name) where u could take 3 novels for 100 bucks.That was too gud an offer to pass.But the novels were really old and mostly adult stuff.I had to wade thru a lot to get these 3.
James patterson is one of my favorites and I have heard a lot about the Stephanie Plum series from the firangi book forums.The Karen Robards one I got on impluse :)
And the Dessert of Yday ;)
No Book shopping is complete without Ruskin Bond! I got this unabridged collection of his books.It has :
- The Room on the Roof
- Vagrants On the valley
- Flight of Pigeons
- Delhi is not Far
- The Sensualist
- A handful of nuts
I own most of his other books except the ghost collections.I am not much inclined to get them as I am terrified of ghosts and ghost stories :( Let's see if I do muster up some courage to get them :)
And yes this is what I wore yday!
So that's it! Have a gud day and Chennaites do visit the book fair :)
P.S: That is officially the first Book haul of 2013! keeping fingers crossed to reach my target :)
P.P.S: The books are available on online sites at lower rates but nothing can beat real time shopping! What say?? ;)
