Book Haul


Hey guys,

So the Big Bad Wolf Sale 2014 finally happened! And I gladly took the opportunity to visit my first loves, books of course. The boyfriend, my sister and I went to MIECC together by public transport. And I'm telling you travelling by Komuter as well as walking to the destination, was very much worth it. Anything for books I say!



After 3 hours of browsing, I finally decided on these books. They are Jodi Picoult's Vanishing Acts, Agatha Christie's Mystery Collection, Thomas Enger's ScarredThe Memory of Love by Aminatta Forna, The Mammoth Book of Best British Mysteries and lastly, Stephen King's 3-in-1 Novels (CarrieSalem's Lot and The Shining). 

Damn, the books were affordable and cheap. I bought these all for less than RM60! Truly a great bargain right? Unfortunately I was not allowed to purchase more books by my mum as she wanted me to concentrate on my studies instead. She knows when I start reading, the world will cease to exist around me and she doesn't want that. Hehe. 

Interesting fact; there were over 4 MILLION books on sale that day! I wish I could buy them all! Sadly, I'm not earning and I had to use my savings to purchase them. One day, I will be those people who brings their suitcases to events like this! Heh. 
Also, the books were ranged from RM8 to RM30. The books that were priced much higher came in boxed sets or a few books compiled in a single book. 

And Thomas Enger's Scarred is the sequel to Pierced which I did a review on here.

I think this sale is the best book sale in Malaysia as there were many sections available for people who have no interest in purchasing fictional books. There were sections for non-fiction books, books for children and toddlers, puzzles, cook-books, self-help books and even joke books. 

I can''t wait for the next sale already although I haven't read all the books. Yet. 

I will blog reviews of these books soon!
