Last night, Sharie and I went out to pay our TFC subscription and then went to the nearby mall for dinner. We felt so full afterwards and we decided to pass by Virgin Megastore and looked at the gadgets and cds and dvds and of course, books!
We found three books we were looking for and bought them instantly without second thoughts. :D Buying books is one of our splurges after all. LOL
1) Angels and Demons by Dan Brown. We have this in ebook, but it's hard to read ebooks most of the time, even with handheld device (pocket pc). Books are still better, IMO. We need to be prepared for the movie, thus we picked this up.
2) Shadow Dance by Julie Garwood. Also have this book in electronic format. But I havent read this yet. This is book....book...forgot already which number is this in the Buchanan series. :D Julie Garwood is still in our auto-buy list, despite our disappointment with her contemporary writings. :D
3) The Tales of Beedle the Bard by JK Rowling. Been looking for this book after reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows and I perked up when I saw it last night.
When the cashier handed the bag to Sharie, we immediately left without checking the contents. While in the taxi, I reached into the bag and took out Tales of Beedle the Bard to read the blurb at the back. The moment we arrived home, I reached into the bag and exclaimed in surprise when I took out a different book. (see below)
Then I upended the plastic bag...and saw the three books we really bought. Sharie and I were so puzzled by the one book until we saw there was no price tag in the book. We just concluded then that the book must have been given for free.

OmG! i like being at office/school supply stores and bookstores i could stay there for hours lalo na ung barnes & noble sa stockton! its huge! i can stay there for the whole day bug i dont cuz i go shopping for clothes then get out butmi love that place!
i hated twilight! i curse ppl who said it was the 'best' haha! thats the only reason i read it andthe movie was better than the book, its been the talk in my school for a few years and i didnt have much interest in it, a week before the movie i bought it...im not interested in vamps...the actors sucked! stephen king was right abt stephenie meyer she cant write! you would sell more with ur kimerald stories!
Cee, thank you for your comment.
I've heard about Bob Ong books and have been looking out for it. Sa pinas na siguro ako maghahanap nyan. :D
I (and my twin) could stay in bookstores for hours too. Our friends used to steer us away from bookstores when we go out because we would spent a long time browsing through books. :D LOL!
I just finished New Moon, before i updated my blog. The book was just OK for me but I dont think Twilight series was the 'BEST' ever written. Harry Potter series still won handsdown for me.
Thank you for saying I could sell more with my Kimerald FFs. OMG! It means a lot to me. Thank you again...and now I am inspired to write more KGFFs. THANK YOU!
WOW, daming wrong grammar! LOL :D
