Stranded !!!

There's one thing I love more than anything else in this world, and outside it, and that is Reading! What can be more gratifying, than curling up with John Grisham (I meant his books, of course! What were you thinking?) in your arms, and a bowl of popcorn to munch on? Now, I've been trying to lay my hands on some more books to add on to my modest collection, in my library, and the ones that are gathering dust in the cupboards of my friends. (So, if you are reading this Shhhh, RETURN my books soooon!)..I can't live without them.

The Strand Book Festival is on in Mumbai (from 28 Jan to 13 Feb) and I'm dying to be there, and blow all my hard-earned money (that's a blatant lie- I love my job so much, I wonder why I get paid for it;) on books.

But I won't be able to make it this week. (Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!) So excuse me while I go and re-read the ones that I already have..

* Of late, I have taken to collecting E-books, so those of you who have any (especially thrillers and whodunnits. And puhleeez spare me the mush!Aaaargh! I stay away from Mills and Boons and their distant cousins), please, please, please mail them to me at sangeeta.kkini@gmail.com.

And oh! I love reading Inspirational mails (males, please excuse :D), PowerPoint presentations etc. I currently need them for a PTA project (Yes, I'm a school teacher) that we have undertaken. So whoever is still reading this, please keep me in your mailing list and do send me any motivational material that you have..
P.S. No Junk/Porn please..

  1. Hi, thanks for visting my blog. I too did not have any success:) with google ad-sense, but I knew that I included just for the sake of it, and I removed it accordingly.

    Reading is the common hobby we seem to have. I am also fan of John Grisham, (currently reading THE SUMMONS). But I prefer Jeffrey Archer because of his English english.

    BTW you can try Project Gutenberg for free e-books. They have some 13,000 of it, but mostly of old literary works which are free from copy right.

    I have blogrolled your blog.

    Regards
