BookXcess Year End Offer Bin Sales

BookXcess started a year-end sale from 26th, offering selected titles at RM1- RM8!! Sure enough, I went there on the very first day to check it out.

Which reminds me...

My colleague asked me one day if I had updated my blog and written any book review. Well... no, on both counts.

I don't update my blog as often, the last one was on 1st Dec. As for my so-called book review, the last one was in July. I did thought of writing book reviews when I first started this blog, just for the fun of it. Guess I lost touch along the way.

Maybe I should start writing reviews again.  I'll probably start with the latest book I read, while my memory is still fresh. I do hope that I'll be able to write a review for each book I read. It should be interesting.

The total retail price is RM 1,011.30!! And I only spent RM 178 on them!! Even with 20%-30% discounts boasted by sales from other book stores, you still have to pay well over RM 600.

Just realised how much money I saved.... XD

The question is...

Are there books that even book lovers don't read? Books that some would say, "There's no way in #3LL that book(s) gonna end up on my shelf!!" ?

I'm not into romance/chic lit books. I doubt any guy is. Once a friend asked me to buy the Twilight series for her from an MPH book sale near my place. I said, "No problem". But when I was there picking up Stephenie Meyer's bestsellers, I said to myself, "Wait a minute. I'm standing here, alone, looking though romance novels. I sure hope no one sees me now!!"

Haha... it was a rather strange moment for me! :P

Is there any book(s) that you don't read?

Aftermath...

So what were the damages I made during the BBW book sale?

The Haul

All in all, I'm RM 178 poorer after the 6-day sale. But I'm definitely 24-book richer!! Or should I say 26-book richer, since the omnibus is three-book-in-one?
