Closet book person?
Saturday, November 25, 2006
Hello... people that read what I write / type. today I have the usual meagre stuff that hardly excites my life... hahaha... ok.. cut to the chase now. I went to the Big Book Shop clearance sale *was it a clearance sale?* yesterday, the one Roberta was talking bout in her blog.
Now I know how people can get obsessed with stationaries.... the notepads all looked so nice! I wanted to get them all! but alas, money wasn't on my side. It was on my mother's.. hahaha.. irregardless got me self a few files and a "workaholic" writing pad I got a little notebook too... The really nice notebooks were all from Double A which is synonymous with?? Good Quality... -.-"
Right so that's what I got. But wait, there's more! I always say that I don't like reading. But everytime when it comes to buying books at clearance sales, I seem to be getting stuff for myself. So am I a book person or am I not? Anyway, believe it or not a "book person" bought not 1 not 2 but 3 books from this here clearance sale. 3 is a lot for a non-bookie don't U think.
The books aren't really famous I think though there is one which is similar to "The Terminal" story staring Tom Hanks. Maybe the movie was based on the book. The other 2 are chic lits. One is obviously chic lit. The other I ain't so sure. They were only RM12 each. what a steal!
Got Amy Tan's book for the coffeeholic *which I presume is also a bookaholic* at only RM19.90... wow... but it was kinda dirty... hahaha.. hopefully she won't mind. Oh I saw Sophie Kinsella's Undomestic Goddess too... but I already have taht so couldn't possibly buy it eh?
Any INXS fans? they are selling thier book at 10 bucks a pop... pretty cheap? oh got archie comics also.. but I think I outgrew that... :( I think that's about it... Oh yeah there was another book that I wanted to buy last time but my Mum said "No way, Jose" *she didn't really say that, she jsut said,"so expensive?" which meant "No way, Jose"* but this time she actually saw it and said it was cheap.. -.-" so she bought it in the end. so I have 4 books actually....
So my question now is "Would a non book person buy so many books *4 books if U haven't been paying attention*"? If the answer is no then I must be pretty clueless of myself. I shall then proclaim myself as a closet book person... kakaka though since the readers of this here blog already know about my bookishness I might not be so closety after all...
No for some little review about the sale. Generally it was ok. there were really few big name writers. thought if U really looked U might find some interesting reads. there were a lot of John Grisham books. Compared to Times clearance sale last time.. this is pretty far off. Most of thier books are from the UK which explains the "not so big names". The normal stuff people read here are mostly from the US which makes thier books more popular. But oh well... a change is good. No?Labels: Gibberish
