Bookz!

Yo, blogger'ers!! I'm finally back with another post! Sorry for keeping you guys waiting, I've only been conscious to update Twitter, so follow me if you want~


So, when I say about books, it really IS BOOKZ! I mean, there have been several warehouse sales lately: first one was by MPH, next is The Big Bad Wolf and thirdly, Crescent Warehouse Sale. Other than that, lucky for me~ Before the MPH warehouse sale, there was a stock clearanceat Carrefour, and guess what were they clearing other than stationary, clothings and other "useless" stuff...? BOOKSZ!! YES, BOOKSZ!!!

Well, since it was the 1st or 2nd day of that stock clearance, there was quite a crowd. My dad and I quickly got a trolley in case we were going to get ALOT of books, and thrus through the crowd. Eventually, we succeeded. So, the books were sold RM 5 each, but we even get authors like Michael Connelly and Kathy Reichs! So, we grabbed everything ( Technically, EVERYTHING) we could and took them to a side to consider buying them. In the end, my dad bought 5 books while I got 7~

Next was the MPH warehouse sale. By the time we arrived there, books were scattered about: table, boxes, even on the floor. Since they didn't specifically arrange them according to genre, we took our SWEET time looking through every ONE of them. So, *mimics DiNozzo from NCIS* through my perspective~ I noticed that most of the books scattered about and un-arranged are fiction (DUH), most books on sale were Charmed, Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel. Unfortunately for me, I saw a Supernatural: Witch's Canyon novel which is sold at RM10/15! And I bought it at a much higher price before! (Damn them!) There were many others: DC/Marvel comics, Cook Books, Biographies, Dictionaries, Kiddy Books, etc. Even noted there was Heroes: Saving Charlie and books by Kathy Reichs! But alas, I decided to buy 2 pocket-size books about Sir Edgar Allan Poe's marvelous short stories, poems and tales while my dad got nothing.

Next, 'The Big Bad Wolf' warehouse sale... When we got to the main door of the building, the people passing by us has 2 handsful of bagged books, some even put them in boxes, and I mean BIG ones! It'll be on the 2nd floor. First stack/rack/table of books will be magazines of all sorts, turn right ( We couldn't turn left, since it was blocked... ) and there will be at least 5 tables of chinese books. And furthur up will be our Heaven: ENGLISH booksz~ So, we split up: Dad went to the Biography section while I went for the Fiction section. There were so many titles and I couldn't really find novels like CSI or Charmed. And then, all of a sudden, flashing infront of my eyes, a Michael Connelly book. Of course, I grabbed it, and then, I saw another... and another, and ANOTHER! So, altogether I've gotten 7 of his beloved prizes, 3 books by Kathy Reichs, another un-popular-to-me author, and best of all, Bones: Buried Deep by Max Allan Collins! It was the 1 and only book of his I hoped I'd find, but unfortunately, there was no Criminal Minds ( Sorry, Cynthia! ) With all the Connelly books I've found, a woman even asked me where I got it. It was mixed with some other books ( they've arranged it, but without following genre ). So my dad came with a big box to box everything up, and we headed to the cashier. So what, I got 10 books and my dad got 9. Majority, me~

And for the upcoming one, it's possible I WON'T be going, since I have a Diagnostic Test Starting from yesterday and ending on the 28th of May ( WHY!?!?!?!?!? )... So bellow are the pictures of the books I've bought, descriptions are below~

Yes! All ze Michael Connelly books I've bought from Carrefour stock Clearance (The Overlook, Echo Park) and THE BIG BAD WOLF *wolf "wooing" in the background"

Look at the BOOKSZ! I'm gonna read!! It might last me till the end of the year?

So, that's all the entertainment you'll get from me tonight/morning, see you guys next time!

XOXO/XXX
HAPPY!
Vivien~
