My book haul
I didn't get as many books this time as I got at last year's Library Sale. I think a lack of time has forced me to be more discerning about the books I buy (and read). I was very happy to have found Yasmina Khadra's "The Attack" for my personal collection ( I have already read and reviewed the book here) and I was equally happy to have found not one, but two, books by Jamaica Kincaid.
Now for some other news, Random House wants me to review some books for them, ofcourse, I didn't need to be asked twice! :) Two of the books are here already: Salman Rushdie's "Shalimar The Clown" and Marcello di Cintio's "Poets and Pahlevans", the two on their way are, Doreen Baingana's "Tropical Fish" and Dragan Todorovich's "The Book of Revenge".
Tomorrow I will post a list of reading challenges I have joined so stay tuned, also, for those of you reading "The Inheritance of Loss" with me or with the "Stacks Reading Challenge" (Melissa, HollyDolly and Hindu Mommy), I am pleased to say I've made a good start - I'm on page 70 and enjoying the book so far :)
