February 2018 Book Bargain Haul (28 books)

Image
February is not just the month of love but it is also the month of book sales. I attended two book sales this month, the Big Bad Wolf Book Sale and the National Bookstore Book Binge Bazaar, and I got 28 books. It's the month of love so why not celebrate my love for books by buying a lot books (this is what I tell myself trying to justify buying 28 books). It looked like I bought 1 book a day this month.  I also got The Sky is Everywhere by Jandy Nelson and The Runaway King by Jennifer A. Nielsen (199 pesos each)  So, that is all for my February haul. This is probably the biggest haul I have ever done and I am very happy because of my growing book collection. ...................................................................................................................................................................

Big Bad Wolf Book Sale 2018 Haul Part 2

Image
I need more shelf space or buy a new bookshelf.  The Big Bad Wolf Book Sale 2018 has officially ended and I was fortunate enough to go back and this time I went with my whole family. I said that I was not going to buy anything since I already bought 15 books the first time I went. But my parents were kind enough to buy me more books. My sister getting some medicine books in the reference section. We went around 11pm on a Sunday (January 18, 2018) and there were still a lot of people despite having work or school tomorrow. Also there were a lot of books gone in many of the tables were already, especially the young adult section, so I missed out on some of the titles that I was hoping to get. My dad reading a WWII history book in the History section. Found this Agatha Christie comic book.  Look at my dog, Leia. She is so photogenic.  Moving on to my haul, I got 5 items; 2 graphic novels, 1 novel, and 2 travel guide...      ...

NBS Book Binge Bazaar Haul 2018

Image
The Book Binge Bazaar was an event by National Bookstore in which imported books will be on sale. The children's book was priced at 75 pesos, while young adult books were priced at 175 prices and reference books at 275 pesos. I went to the last day of the event and since I saw many hauls of other bookworms I already had an idea of the books that I want. Also, shout out to my good friend Karen (@BookishKaren in Instagram) for reserving a copy of Alex, approximately and Wind/Pinball for me.  It was so overwhelming to be in the event because there were so many books and so many people that I did not get the chance to browse around. I was only in the event for less than an hour. But in the end I was so happy because I saved a lot of many because the books were really cheap.  These were the books inside my cart but I decided to not get the others because they did not have good reviews on goodreads.
