Good day at BookXcess; Bookfest@Malaysia is coming

I only visited BookXcess on 14 August (Sat) out of the three-day celebration, but I still managed to get some good books at crazy prices.

I reached the bookshop before noon and was surprised to meet a colleague with her sister. We headed out separately to hunt for our books. I hit the RM3 book section first and chose five books, "American Gangster and Other Tales of New York", "Blame it on the Rain" and "50 Ways to F**k the Planet" for myself, and two Sudoku books for my mom.



I also bought "'Tis: A Memoir" for RM 17.90. Previously I bought "Angela's Ashes" also from BookXcess but has yet to read it as there are still a lot of books on my to-read list. :P



Despite the anniversary sales with many titles selling at 30% discount plus other books selling at RM3 or less, I only bought four books. But it was a good thing, as I saved money for the upcoming Bookfest@Malaysia 2010 in September to buy more books, probably targeting on Chinese books. I've been reading so many English-language books lately that I felt I need to balance things out by reading more Chinese-language books, and the Bookfest@Malaysia is just what the doctor ordered.

There were a few Chinese books listed in the Bookfest Catalogue that caught my interest, including:
