Experimental - Book Spine Poetry

I was writing slam poetry but then I chanced upon book spine poetry by a fellow poet and I was hooked! The slam poetry was cast away (well, not exactly) and here's my attempt at #BookSpinePoetry.
Book spine poetry involves arranging the titles of books in such a skillful, clever way that they form interesting poetry. It may appear to be easy but believe me it can be very tedious.


Once upon a marigold
When Padma Bani Paula
Karno's daughter
The Adivasi will not dance

Half girlfriend
Maharani
Eleanor Oliphant is completely fine
Living above the level of mediocrity

Rangoli
The high priestess never marries
Someone like you
The kiterunner



Another one:
The other side of midnight
Celestial bodies

Impact
The time machine
Code to zero

The god of small things
Death at midnight

Do you suppose it's the east winds?

                                                                       
                                                    And the last. A slightly quirky thing.
                                                       
                                                               Come on inner peace!
                                                              My way is the highway!

                                                           Looking at life differently
                                                              Pyjamas are forgiving
                                                                   The famous five
                                                           The immortals of Meluha
                                                                      The prophet
                                                                  Mrs Funnybones
                                                                            Asura
                                                                          The spy
