beware of the Big Bad Wolf!

hello all! :)
soooo how was your february? mine was as boring as usual and naaaah you don't want to know about that, so i'll just skip to the topic that i want to let all of you know today:

BOOKS!!

reading is one of my not-so-guilty pleasures, and it is such a shame to realize that i haven't read any books (outside of research or class purposes :P) since two years ago (blame on my FYP... ouch). so when i heard from syamil last time that Big Bad Wolf Book Sale is coming.... of course i wouldn't miss my chance this time around!

i'm sure that those who live in malaysia and love reading know about this beasty book sale. why i call this beasty is because they totally cut off the prices of their books like crazy.... can you imagine getting imported novels (and it's not only for those unpopular ones - i even saw mitch albom's too!) for only rm 8 each??

yup... i never imagined that before meeting this wolf too :P so it's definitely not a surprise when you see a sea of people in front of your eyes like this, rite?

to be honest, i was mesmerized with the sea of books in front of me. since i am a novel lover, after getting one empty box to bring my hauls, i directly turned my heels to fiction section, which basically filled about one third of the big big hall

i screened every title and cover of the books before reading the synopsis and deciding whether to buy the book or not. i am basically a fan of chicklits, but i definitely won't mind a little sci-fi. i am pretty proud of myself knowing that i was diligent and patient enough to stroll each of those tables and screen the titles one by one for around three hours (and i am totally not kidding you when i say that i started to feel numb on my feet at the end of our book hunting session that night :P). without realizing it, i already filled my empty box with eleven novels in total :P

and here are the titles of the books that i bought that day

four of them are my sister's. she actually asked for percy jackson series (she is a fan of harry potter, hunger games, percy jackson, and their kinds), but i couldn't find the complete series, so she asked me to buy any novels which were in that category. at the end, i bought alfred kropp, heroes of the valley, the dragonfly pool, and the secret to lying (these books still fall into that category rite?? RITE??).

anyway, i basically spent rm 80 in total for 11 novels... wasn't that a steal??? and i was very satisfied bringing these books home!

aaaand i was completely surprised knowing that there would be big bad wolf aftermath sale from february 28 to march 4! i was even more surprised knowing that the already-low-price of imported novels was cut even further to rm 5! however, i wasn't about to go at first since i haven't even finished my hauls last time, but since safura offered rm 20 from her book voucher to me, i was beyond happy to receive her offer since rm 20 could afford me 4 new books! :)

safura, syamil, and i went there on the very first day, and we were a bit disappointed knowing that they only occupied half of the very same hall from the last time. however, the crowd was still there

to be honest, i didn't experience the same enthusiasm with the one that i had during the last BBW. i only strolled around half of the fiction section and i gave up already. soooo here are four books that i managed to get last thursday (the one titled seekers is my sister's):

i guess the meaning of 'aftermath' in BBW this time really means the aftermath of the last BBW, meaning that they only sold those novels that people were not interested to buy, since the titles and authors of the novels in fiction section seemed foreign to me. however, BBW Aftermath Sale is definitely a good chance for those who have BB1M (Baucer Buku 1 Malaysia) and want to get free books to read :)


sooooo that's all from me. adios amigos! :)
