Friday Triple Post- Post No. 2- 2012 Haul of Books

This is post 2 of 3 posts

In 2011, I had picked up a total of around 105 books which was less than what I had found the years before. This year i.e., 2012 I picked up 92 books in all. Most of the books I had picked up at the second hand bazaar at Abids on Sundays and some from sales by bookstores, at the book fair and some of them at second hand book stores. A few of the books I got as gifts from friends and family. Some of the books are extra copies of the titles that I already have like those by Dave Barry, John Le Carre, Len Deighton, and Elmore Leonard that I bought simply because I couldn’t resist them. I bought them to give to my friends who might enjoy reading these authors.
