Warehouse Shopping!!!

My sister got this email from Pay Less Books, they are advertising on their warehouse sale from the 15th of dec till the 17th. Been waiting for it since last week, as i've been to this Popular book clearance 2 months ago, sad to say..it is not all that cheap. Bought a few books though..still it was expensive.

I went there with My cousin Nicole after her work. Did not expect, that the books there are so damn cheap. Never really expected to be this cheap at all. 1 book for RM 3.00, 3 books for RM 5.00 and 5 books for RM 12.00. Ain't it a bargain! I bought about 10 books and it only cost me RM 24.00, even lesser to buy one ..only one new book! Considering it is second hand book, but who cares! It is all in a good condition and i get to read without splurging RM 40 plus on a new book. i mostly got books that are selected for the Oprah's Book Club. A very big fan of hers.

Books that i got from the Warehouse Clearance:
1) While I Was Gone by Sue Miller
2)The Book of Ruth by Jane Hamilton
3)Midwives by Chris Bohjalian
4)Snow Falling on Cedars by David Guterson
5)Vinegar Hill by A.Mannete Ansay
6)Before Women Had Wings by Connie May Fowler
7)A Map Of The World by Jane Hamilton
8)The Pilot's Wife by Anita Shreve
9)Lovesick by Angeles Mastreta
10)Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood by Rebecca Wells

Malaysia is talking about encouraging a reading habit to kids and the society. It is so expensive to buy a new book, i have to think twice before buying a book, and they rarely go on Sale! Kids can't even afford to buy books, Oh yes, we have public libraries here, i don't think anyone even consider going to the there as you can never find the books you want to read. It's really impossible for kids to take out their pocket money to buy new books, look at the price to buy Harry Porter Books. It's crazy, nearly RM 90.00 for a book, only working adults could afford that.

I was looking for some books online, and i find that books are so cheap in America. It's only USD 1 for a book that is now selling at RM 39.90 in Malaysia. No wonder they develop a nature for reading, books are affordable and not at some ridiculous price. Too bad the shipping is only available in USA, if not, i would have ordered it and shipped to me. Only thing i can do now, is to wait for another Warehouse Book Clearance to get some affordabe books. Anyway, it will take me some time to finish reading that 10 books. Happy Reading!!!
