Hola dear friends! I guess everyone is getting over the holiday hangover and getting into routine. Pace at work is slowly picking up momentum. We have one more festival, Pongal, before we get back into work mode 100%
Every year we have the annual book fair in Chennai during this time of the year and V and I make it a point to visit. It is not necessarily to buy new books, but more to find out what books are trending now, who are the new authors etc. This year too we went last weekend..
..and they had some good photo spots for people like me who love to get clicked and drive V mad 😀.
I was looking to buy translations of Tamil classics like Paarthiban Kanavu or Sivagaamiyin Sabadam. I did find both books but did not buy them. Paarthiba Kanavu was a hard bound and too huge and I did not want to hurt my wrist. I felt Sivagaamiyin Sabadam was an abridged translation.
So, here is what we bought this year:
- Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. I had this as a text book in 10th grade and I have been wanting to read it, without the thought of exam and syllabus
- Ram and Sita by Amish. These are the 1st two volumes of a series. Our library has vol 3&4, so bought the first 2
- V bought a book by Murakami. I have never heard of Murakami and am planning to read it once she finishes
Now for the stitchy update. I have been able to make a decent progress on project Amma thanks to the holidays
That's a pic of the progress and ORTs from all of last month's stitching. I am almost finished with this page
