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.

Azaadi Mubarak, hum-watano 🇵🇰 Happy Independ Azaadi Mubarak, hum-watano 🇵🇰 Happy Independence Day 💚

75 years ago, our ancestors chose freedom over slavery for us. They found the light at the end of the tunnel and even though things are not hunky-dory for us at all times, I am extremely proud of my identity as a Pakistani living abroad. No matter what, our people are good people with big hearts and no one can take that away from us. 

It is not easy to be away from home albeit life has its own perks abroad. Pakistan is still indeed a heaven of sorts. In my darkest of hours I always think about how far I've come in my own journey as a desi living away from home and all my struggle today is only to give back to my people some day. 🙌

Eternally grateful to @lt.photograph for this photoshoot we did two years ago on campus, representing my culture! ✨
