My July Reading List

The best thing about getting a Kindle is that you don't really need to carry big sized books to read them, but have this light weight paper-like thing with immense power. Here the books that I plan to read in the coming month (in no specific order).

Authors- Simon Dunsten, Gerrard Williams
