I had made a promise to myself to spend less, since I'm going to have to spend a lot of money for some big changes coming soon. However, last Tuesday, I found myself at a Booksale in Cubao, and I couldn't help myself. I ended up going home about 700 pesos lighter, and with the following books under my arm:
Al Franken – Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them
Frank McCourt – 'Tis
Elizabeth Wurtzel – Bitch: In Praise of Difficult Women
Pat Riley – The Winner Within
Roddy Doyle – A Star Called Henry
Jasper Fforde – The Well of Lost Plots
I love the fact that I wouldn't have picked up the last book if it weren't for Mika's review here. Now I can honestly say that this blog has helped my book-buying habit.
I think this has been my richest Booksale haul ever. My last memorable trip to Booksale, I think I came away with copies of East of Eden, All the Pretty Horses, and Snow Falling on Cedars. How about you?
That *is* quite a haul.
The BITCH book is quite entertaining and I found it in Booksale also, hehehe.
Man that place is awesome.
