I Heart Book Sales Round Two!

Because I just couldn't get enough of the unbelievably good deal that I had last weekend, I just have to visit another Book Sale and try my luck again!

I dream of having this in my room

Here are the interesting books that I found, in my 1 hour of book haggling ( we're just there for an errand )

Php 320 ( this is originally 700 plus, but for me if it's from a book sale, it shouldn't cost over 150! )

After going through the book section, The hardest part of being in a book sale is going home only with one book since I can't get them all. It's a good thing I was able to buy at least one, because I get depressed when there's a book sale and there's nothing good to buy. I pretty much judge the book by the title and cover, then the description at the back before I give it a go. 


I usually buy Chick Lit (Chick Literature) books, which, as defined by Wikipedia as:

 a genre fiction which addresses issues of modern womanhood, often humorously and lightheartedly. The genre sells well, with chick lit titles topping bestseller lists and the creation of imprints devoted entirely to chick lit.Although it sometimes includes romantic elements, chick lit is generally not considered a direct subcategory of the romance novel genre, because the heroine's relationship with her family or friends is often just as important as her romantic relationships.

I discovered the Chick Lit genre when I bought my very first Jane Green book by just getting intrigued at the cover:

O diba? Liborga naman talaga teh! 

And I've never laughed so hard reading a book, I feel like I was transported to some place. I remember lending the book to my agents back then and they were hooked as well.

And that's when I fell hard... and in love with Chick Literature. From that moment on, I started collecting Jane Green books although now her classics are just so hard to find!

Tips when buying in Book Sales:

• If you find something good, grab it before anyone else does, even if you're not yet sure to if you're getting it. You can always change your mind once you get to the counter.
• Look for other versions in hardbound cover, while still holding on to the book.
• If there are at least two - three copies of the book, it might not be that good.
• For reference books, check if there are pages torn, or something was written on it, or erased.

• If you were not able to see/buy something that you like --- it happens.
• Take time to dig in, you never know!

They said that we shouldn't just judge the book by its cover, but honey, if you want to sell your book, you have to be prepared getting judged starting from the cover. :)
