Hi Readers!<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

How are you all doing? How was July so far? For me, there is nothing great going on. 9 days in & I have not read a single book, except for \u2018The Little Book of Happiness\u2019 by Ruskin Bond<\/span><\/b>, which as the title suggests was little. I am hoping to complete Ta-Nehisi Coates\u2019s \u2018The Water Dancer\u2019<\/span><\/b> <\/span>by tomorrow. Then, finally, the weekend is set for Hank Green\u2019s \u2018A Beautifully Foolish Endeavor\u2019<\/span><\/b> for which I have been waiting since long!<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

Because I haven\u2019t read anything to write a review on, I thought I would do a fun post. And, to me, a fun post almost always involves a book photoshoot<\/span><\/b>! I decided to do a post on my favourite book covers. I own quite a few books & so I chose among them. There are also many e-books that I read whose covers are absolutely gorgeous, such as \u2018Untamed\u2019 by Glennon Doyle<\/span><\/b>. But, because I don\u2019t have a paperback or hardcover, I had to let them go. Hope you love this book photo shoot!<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

Let me just give you a list of the books featured in the photos in no specific order. I have also put the links on these for the books I have reviewed earlier!<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

Daisy Jones & The Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid<\/a><\/o:p><\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

The Dutch House by Ann Patchett<\/a><\/o:p><\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt<\/a><\/o:p><\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy<\/a><\/o:p><\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Uncommon Type by Tom Hanks<\/o:p><\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

The Spy by Paulo Coelho<\/a><\/o:p><\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

The Luminaries by Eleanor Catton<\/o:p><\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

The Atlas of Reds and Blues by Devi S. Laskar<\/a><\/o:p><\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

The Shooting Star by Shivya Nath<\/o:p><\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

A few of these books are my absolute favourites<\/span><\/b>, such as Daisy Jones & The Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid, The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt & Uncommon Type by Tom Hanks. Whereas some are the ones which I completely hated<\/span><\/b>, such as The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy, The Atlas of Reds and Blues by Devi S. Laskar. Some I have rated on average<\/span><\/b>, like The Dutch House by Ann Patchett, The Spy by Paulo Coelho & The Shooting Star by Shivya Nath. And, then there is The Luminaries by Eleanor Catton which I am yet to read<\/span><\/b>. I know the most famous quote \u201cNever judge a book by its cover\u201d<\/span><\/b>, but for the intents & purposes of this post alone, I am going only with the covers, no matter how good or bad the story within. Hope you enjoy it!<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
