Why am I Broke- The Story of Books!

These books have been bought in Delhi Book Fair last August. On the venue, I saw a lady roaming around with a trolley bag about the same size as that of a cabin luggage and I just raised an eyebrow. By the time we were done shopping, I had new respect for the lady because dragging those bag back home seriously required a coolie:|  This is a * part* of the haul since I don't have all the books with me right now.
Also, some of them were on hugggggggggggge discount.

Further Under The Duvet - Marian Keyes

This is chick-lit with a difference.This is another book which will make you laugh so hard that you'll start snorting. I have this habit  of reading backwards as in the sequence.So, keeping up with the tradition, I have read Further Under The Duvet before reading Under The Duvet. The book contains autobiographical pieces, some previously published others not. The pieces are mostly quirky, witty and surprisingly, sad in a very humourous way.I don't know how she managed it but I am so happy with the book that I went ahead and ordered Under The Duvet from flipkart.com. What I found very amusing was the way she referred to her husband as Himself  and called herself Myself. It even has some stories related to charities with which she's involved. The name of her husband is Tony Baines but she has quoted incidents when he was referred to as Mr. Keyes.He's comfortable taking a back seat so that Marian can meet her commitments at ease and he has no issues about it.I absolutely loved this part!


My Rating: 7.5/10 

Online Shopping with Flipkart.com

Flipkart is the first site that I shopped from online.I was never sure of ordering anything online but I needed some books urgently.You might be thinking...who needs books urgently? Apparently, I do. I have ordered quite a few times from them.There was only one time, as of now, when I needed to call their customer care and  complain.They had shipped the package but the current status on the courier's site was insufficient address, which is so stupid considering I had received another package from a previous order just the day before "on the same address". I will still say they were very nice about it and I got my package as well but it took 2 days to make sure the courier company did something about the missing package.

The books are shipped from different warehouses so the delivery time differs from place to place. I have received books from Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata and Banglore.

Some of the books that I have bought!

The books come with small bookmarks which are very cute and they are wrapped packed in plastic before packing them in the card-boards(the one in pic above).If the product is delicate, it is wrapped in a lot of bubble wrap so that it reaches you safely.All the things that I have bought from them have reached me intact.
They have even started a gift wrapping service but they charge extra for it!:(

Everything is great about them except the two mentioned below.

Cons:

• No loyalty programs or additional benefits for regular customers!
• You've to pay for gift wrapping.
