I Heart Book Sales!

I love Book sales! I'm pretty sure book enthusiasts share the same feeling. That's why I knew that kindle wouldn't work for me because nothing compares to the feeling of holding a book. 


I was just telling my professor in grad school last Saturday how I don't really like reading ebooks, ( almost all our reference books are sent via email in the form of ebooks, pdf files.... Oh technology!) because I really like the feeling of holding the book. Especially if it's really old, brownish and "crunchy" like the pages could crack any minute!


I get really sad when there's a book sale and I couldn't find anything good to buy.


Weeks before, I found myself in National Bookstore's Book sale only to find out that there isn't anything good to buy. Therefore, I went home empty-handed. :(


But yesterday, I went to the same branch of National Bookstore and found my self buying these:
I got these three for only P199 and in mint condition! Don't you just love book sales?
The highlight of my latest Book Sale experience is getting a hold of Jane Green's "New Generation" book, called The Beach House ( I call it New Generation because I have almost all her previous chick literature novels, which I prefer to call "Her Classics". ) This book usually sells at Fullybooked or Powerbooks for at least a thousand pesos ( not really sure about the price anymore), I only got mine for Php99! 

Minty Mint Mint Condition

I also got the 1001 Questions to ask before you get married, and my sister have someone else in mind to give it to. But the really cute find that I got is " Give the Bitch Her Chocolate". I love this item and there's someone in mind I'd like to give this to.

Because it is just so cute and bitchy... I figured out that that cute thing deserves her own entry. :) ( Which I will be writing about, next! )

What are your favorite books?
