I'm totally broke for the next few months, you know why? Because there was this certain Big Bad Wolf that bit a big chunk out of my purse. I went crazy during this time as i missed the first Big Bad Wolf Books Sale, so i thought since i missed the first one i should compensate by buying more this time to make it up for the last one i missed, get it?
Yup, i bought a total of 80 books...YUP, you heard 80 books. I know i went overboard with it, but i bought books mostly are bestsellers and thank god i grab hold of the books on the first day, because when i went back the next day, it was all gone.
I sneak out during lunch hours and with the limited parking at Amcorp Mall, you can imagine the traffic and the jam that they caused. I parked illegally (yea..saman la), i don't really care much, i just want to get my books. I see all these people coming up with boxes of books get me all excited inside ...felt like i had a bookgasm. March up to the 3rd floor and found out that they did not allow us in. My god, you should see the amount of people jam-packed into one small area. They looked like sardines in a can and i am about to join in.
I waited for like 10 mins and they finally let us it, you see people literally running in to grab hold of those empty boxes provided and disappeared into the crowd. I remember throughout my whole half an hour of randomly picking up books, each time i have to say 'Excuse Me' and 'Sorry'. You can even stop and browse the books and you know why? Because the queue from the cashier snakes through the whole place. and you don't know where did the queue ended. Seriously, it was that bad!
I have to just follow the flow of the current of people as i can't stop. I just grab any books that i can reach, grab and grab and grab. People are very nice as they understand it's so crowded in there that we have to squeeze our way through. But there are a few bad apples you know, this guy, quite young, handsome man, dressed very formal was walking towards me, but i can't move as there are people queueing upon both sides, so i try to turn to the left to let him cross, but he was no gentleman, all he does was 'tsk'. My god, a man dress for smartly but attitute like some uneducated brat. Hello!!! We are all educated people there, all avid readers, so use your common sense and rationality when you got into the crowd. You should have expected what will happen when you get in there.
Anyway, that did not affect me, i'm too thrill that i got so many good books. I know i can't make it in time for work if i were to queue up that time. So, i reserved my books and came back towards the evening and pay for my reserved books, hehe. Luckily, Big Bad Wolf provides a little help to ease the buyings from carrying big heavy boxes, they provide trolleys...Wow, i was so thankful that i need not carry the box down 3 floors with my bare hands. Well, it made no difference as my arms ache the next day anyway :)

All these are my reads supply for the next two years or so, hehe. Bought far too many chick lits but you can never go wrong with chick lits, always funny and light and easy read without the need to crack your head.
Recently, i've develop interest in Historical Fiction. It started off with 'The Other Boleyn Girl' by Phillipa Gregory and it rolls from there. I've never been this interested on anything before this, makes me want to find out more about King Henry VIII and all his six wives. Thus, the purchase of all Dukes and Duches inspired books.
Bought a lot of books with AsianThemes and Asian Authors, can't help it. Anything related to Asians just intrigues me, just something that we can relate to you know. Futhermore, you can help 'Ka Ki Lang' ma right?
