It was a Friday. Just had to rush to the Quezon Avenue branch of National Book Store. They were having a warehouse sale! A few years ago, I went to one and I went cray! There were a lot of affordable finds– both local and foreign titles– precious and hard-to-find selections for as low as 50php! That was probably 4 years ago at the same place.
So I was disappointed when I set foot again this time around because comparatively, there wasn’t much of a variety. Unlike those I saw several years ago where I bought fiction titles to references and of course movies and pop culture. Also, I am probably looking for the same variety with what #BigBadBooksPH had offered during its short visit here in Manila last month.
Also, in terms of book selections, the titles I saw were usually the same ones I encounter during a normal trip to Book Sale.
Anyway, I took home four books: Cheryl Strayed’s WILD. Rough Guides to Italy and Sienna, Bernhard Schlink’s THE READER, and some How-To-Millenial book.
Here’s basically what went through as captured by my handy phone! Haha
