Turn off that TV, grab a book and start slaying some dragons!

Happy 2014!!

A brand new year has finally arrived! It's almost surreal every time a new year came and the old year gone. One moment you think that time passes by slowly and the next moment it's gone before you realised it.

So what's for the new year?

My Treasure

The great Big Bad Wolf Books Sale of 2013 has ended yesterday! The 24-hour arrangement was ingenious, allowing more freedom to choose what time to visit the sale which in turn made the hall less packed. Last year's sales visitors will know what I mean.

I told myself not to buy too many books this year. And I did. 25 books weren't that many compared to the box and luggage full by others, right? And four of those books were for my nieces when they start reading English, so in actuality I bought 21 books for myself.

What's my haul for this year?

My haul so far...

Went to the Big Bad Wolf Books sale, twice. Tiring? Sure! The congestion from getting into the parking area was enough to sap anyone's energy, and that was before walking around the hall with a box full of books looking for more! But seeing all those books stacked everywhere was worth the effort.

Entrance to a happy place

Stupid and careless mistake (Someone else, not me)

Last night I came upon a review on Big Bad Wolf Books (BBWB) by a Ms Chong from KL, complaining about the Preview Passes given to winners to visit the book sale today. She had the facts all wrong and I would like clarify this on behalf of my favorite book sale event.

Bittersweet

Again, almost two months after my last post. I've gotten lazy in writing my blog now. Actually spending more time reading, but progress so-so only though.

Why am I here now? To talk about Big Bad Wold Books sale again, which will start on 6 December, just two days away. Everyone who knows about the sale would also know that the organiser gives away preview passes by taking part in its contests, sharing its Facebook posts, etc. Last year, I've tried everything to get my hands on a preview pass but to no avail. This year, I won a pass without even knowing.

Have to spread the word!!

It's been almost two months since my last post (so long already??). I guess I got lazy lately and didn't feel like posting so frequently (I admit, two months is a bit of a stretch), but I don't think anyone missed me, right? Ok, feeling a bit depressed now...

Anyway, there's a great news I heard last night that I think I ought to post it here whether or not anybody reading this. I'm sure many people know that the Big Bad Wolf Books sale is coming this December, right? Check out the following images and see if you can spot the difference.
