Getting booked this week!

Time really flies! No matter how much I try being regular on my blog, “time” just beats me! It smuggles away seconds and minutes, and even days. Anyways, that’s not the point. I don’t have a book to review right now, because I am still reading it. It will take atleast 2 more days. By the way, I am reading “Butter Chicken in Ludhiana by Pankaj Mishra”. Quite an interesting book, though a bit slow in few places but worth it. It is next on my review list.

This weekend, I had an overwhelming urge to buy atleast 10 books! First it took me hours to shortlist a few after reading lots and lots of reviews. So, I was not able to buy them during the weekend, but well, I have bought it yesterday! I just love the moment when I receive them through courrier. I cannot define the joy!


Here are the books that I bought:

1. Witness the Night by Kishwar Desai
 2. Deaf Heaven by Pinki Virani


3. Doordarshan Days by Bhaskar Ghose


4. Gandhi: Naked Ambition by Jad Adams


5. Harilal Gandhi: A Life by by Chandulal B. Dalal


6. If I am Missing or Dead by Janine Latus

7. Leela : A Patchwork Life by Leela Naidu & Jerry Pinto


8. Open: An Autobiography by Andre Agassi


9. The Dancing Girls Of Lahore by Louise Brown

10. The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger


I am majorly into Non-Fiction these days. I keep on hunting for different kinds of good non-fiction reads. Most of the above books are through Outlook reviews. I also like The Hindu Book reviews.

    Hi, it hasn’t happened to me so far. These are very professional websites, serious about repeat customers otherwise they can’t do business for long. I always check the rates in following websites, and order from wherever cheapest:
    > www.indiaplaza.in (usually cheapest rates)
    > www.flipkart.com (usually very fast, good customer service, very good rates)
    > www.infibeam.ccom (so far haven’t ordered anything, but they are very competitive. I am open to them also)
    > www.a1books.com (very good for rare, out-of-print books or international titles, as people buy and sell here, so you can come across a book you have been hunting for ages)
    I don’t think you should have any issues. Enjoy the huge discounts available online!
