Adventures of a Bibliophile: NBS The Great Warehouse Sale 2015

August 15, 2015
Saturday

I wasn't supposed to go to this warehouse sale considering that I'm from the South and the venue is way at the North. Luckily, I have a friend living in the area and that solves my problem.

This was my first NBS warehouse sale and I was very much excited about it....and of course so does the others who patiently waited in line before going up. We arrived at 11AM and as my friend Carla was going to buy drinks, I waited inside and luckily I was there passing by when the saleslady brought out J.K. Rowling's 'Casual Vacancy'. Of course I had to plunge into the battlefield of readers and yes, I got one! The price is from 900+PHP to just 100PHP. Great deal indeed.

This is the spot which we claimed as our rest stop

People searching for a great find

Our basket was filled with great finds which we will filter later

As we go deeper in the afternoon, more and more readers flock in search for gems and great finds

....and after 8 hours, these are my great finds

I was exhausted and hungry but it was worth it. Will I do it again? Yes! But I'm going to be more prepared.

Adventures of a Bibliophile: A night out walking at High Street, BGC

Bibliophile...
This is something readers could relate to. And I'm guilty of such.

Tsundoku...
I recently found out that this Japanese word exists. Double guilty.

Friday nights mean that work is done for the week and that a person like me (drained from all that) could finally relax and be by myself (side effects of introversion)

Purchased Sen Miriam's 2nd hilarious book which ejects humor into the serious world of politics. I did a book hunt into 3 stores for this.

Book Sale at Fully Booked BGC!!!!! I got 2 of James Patterson's novels and my giddy heart couldn't contain its bliss.

Book hoarding once again by yours truly.
My queue list is endless and I love it.
Tsundoku at its finest.

Oh, by the way...this blog is finally on the book bloggers list. Yay!

To infinity and beyond...
