8th KIBF Book Haul

8th KIBF Book Haul
Last Sunday I went to 8th Karachi International Book Fair at the Expo Center and returned with bags loaded with books! I mainly buy books from Paramount and Liberty Books and this year also, as usual I shopped from them. Sadly, Paramount's range has decreased for me over the years so I bought only 3 books from there and rest are from Liberty.

Now to be honest, I haven't read much classics rather mainly fictions and chicklits as a young girl. However, for a change this year I tried picking up books mostly by classic authors. 



Starting with Liberty as I got majority of my books from there.

The haul is as follows;


Rumi is always a smart pick! 
Rumi The Big Red Book


The Rumi Collection, Shambala Classics



Saadat Hasan Manto; known for his bold writing.

Bitter Fruit; Manto



Gabriel García Márquez; Nobel Prize winner in Literature.

Gabriel Garcia Marquez; Chronicle of death foretold

Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Strange Pilgrims

Gabriel Garcia Marquez; Collected Stories

Gabriel Garcia Marquez; One Hundred Years of Solitude



To Kill A Mocking Bird by Harper Lee; bought this on a friend's suggestion.

Harper Lee; To kill a mocking bird



Paulo Coelho.

Paulo Coelho; The Zahir



Honestly, the name of this book, "White Teeth" , made me to pick it. I have a thing for white teeth! :P The blurb says that it's a comedy so I'm looking forward to it. ;)

Zadie Smith; White Teeth



I got this knowing that it was the best seller of the year but perhaps, it turned out to be a bad piece of literature. This was an impulsive purchase. I should have done some research beforehand. Anyways, I don't recommend buying this.

E.L James; Fifty Shades Trilogy



Lastly, I couldn't keep myself from buying another chicklit! BUT it's Meg Cabot! After reading her Airhead Trilogy, I wanted to read more of her work. Too bad that I couldn't get Queen of Babble's first part. I won't be reading this until I get that.

Meg Cabot; Queen of Babble Trilogy




Oh, and I got this little goodie bag kinda thing from Liberty for shopping there!
Contains bookmarks, pencil and a badge! :D


Liberty Books Goodies



Now these are what I bought from Paramount;

I have read Shakespeare a lot at school and I do have a lot of his books but this one is actually a collection and it was only for 300 PKR so I had to get this.

The Complete Pelican Shakespeare



Adventures of Huckleberry Finn; Mark Twain
I know this is a children's novel and I'm still a kid!! You got a problem with that?! -_-

Adventures of Huckleberry Finn; Mark Twain



The artist in me picked this origami book by Rob from M.A.D ^_^

MAD Origami Book 04



I know these are a lot and it exceeded my budget but I only buy books at fairs. Plus, there are just a couple of them each year and I do go crazy when it comes to books! :/

Have you read any of these already?
