14th Karachi International Book Fair Haul

December 28, 2018

Maintaining the record of being at the Karachi International Book Fair every year so far, I must say my list of books to read has become shorter. Besides, I have been purchasing books all year round so this time at the KIBF I just picked whatever caught my attention.

This is probably my smallest KIBF book haul on the blog. I have been traveling lately and I feel closer to my own culture and heritage so I found myself mostly gravitating towards books with desi themes.

Karachi International Book Fair Haul from Liberty Books

If you have been an old reader of my blog, you must be knowing that the two places I pick most of my books from are Liberty Books and Paramount Books so this year was no different.

Liberty Books Haul

I only picked three books from Liberty Books which are Austenistan by Moni Mohsin, Nautanki Diaries by Dominic Franks and I’ll Give You The Sun by Jandy Nelson. So we have a nice mix of young adult fiction, desi theme and travelogue.

Paramount Books Haul

I was just leaving Paramount after a quick scan when a stack of Horrible Histories by Terry Deary caught my eye. I have been collecting these since I was a lot younger and I still enjoy reading these books because they make historical facts fun to read and easy to remember.

So I ended up picking six books from the Horrible Histories series which include Frightful First World War, Villainous Victorians, Stormin’ Normans, Smashing Saxons, Terrible Tudors, Cut-Throat Celts.

If you have any book suggestions, please leave them in the comments below. Also, let me know what are you reading these days! I would love to know.

Coconut Grove photo dump ~ indulged into a fine di Coconut Grove photo dump ~ indulged into a fine dining experience at @cgpakistanofficial today and happy to report that it was nothing short of wonderful! ✨

A detailed review will be up on my blog jadirahsarmad.com shortly but here's a mini one for my insta buddies.

First off, absolutely loved the ambiance and the whole modern aesthetic. I just wish it opened a bit sooner than 7 PM in the evening so that we could get better daylight shots since the place is very instagrammable!

The food was scrumptious! We ordered Crab Rangoon, which was a platter of crab and cheese stuffed wontons, Red Thai Curry, Moroccan Chicken, Kunafa and Chili Lemonade. The latter three stood out to me the most since I loveee everything sweet and spicy. Though I would say that overall the menu was not very extensive, especially when it comes to continental dishes. On the contrary, there were quite a few desi cuisine choices including BBQ platters. This does make Coconut Grove an ideal place to dine at with family and friends as there's at least something that tickles everyone's fancy!

My outfit is from @j.junaidjamshed that I got a couple of years back for eid and the end of the photo dump includes my super cute and traditional @regalshoesstore khussas! 💖

I am mostly traveling during this time of the year and even though we have not been able to make any proper plans due to 'rona dhona for a while, I feel so blessed to be in my hometown with my fam this time around! 👯‍♀️✨

Happy Holiday, everyone! 🤩
