#BOOKBINGEBAZAAR 2018 SHOPPING RECAP.

I got homea few hours ago from Megatrade Hall in SM Megamall, which is so far away from my place. I attended National Bookstore's most amazing book sale to date ever, today! It's the first day of #BookBingeBazaar Sale and OMGGGGGGGGG! IT WAS CRAZY -- CRAZY GOOD!

I was supposed to be there by 10am but I think I arrived at 11? There were so many book lovers there, all ages, and it was so fascinating to see how Filipinos love reading. This sale to be honest, is one of the best sales NBS has ever had and the titles are omg mind-blowing! I was so overwhelmed with how much new ones are in there! YA, paperback or hardbound, new or old, are all priced 175php (less than 4$) so I grabbed everything I want!

The NBS space in Mega Trade Haull is quite huge and I think I circled the entire thing 4x just to double check if I missed any books I want. Hohoho

I was also able to see my friends JB, Hazel of Stay Bookish, Lyra of Deviantly Deviant and JM of The Bookfreak Revelations. (Wasn't able to take selfies with JM and Danica!! Hiiiii) I am most excited for you guys to see Hazel's haul because how does 'one huge cart full of books' sound to you?

I didn't get most of the priority titles I came there for like Lady Midnight, City of Bones, PPL or Conjuring of Light hardbounds but I sure did bag the fall-back titles in my list! WOOOOHOOOOOOO!

Like this one!! I WENT CRAZY WHEN I SAW THIS IN LYRA'S CART AND THANK YOU HAZEL FOR GIVING ME THE EXTRA COPY YOU FOUND HUHUHUHUHU OMG THANK YOU BOOKISH LORDS BECAUSE AAAAAAH BEEN WANTING THIS BOOK FOR SOOOOOO LONG NOW I CRYYYYY GDGDGDGDG

After sorting my cart, I left all these because ya girl had to stick to her budget haha kinda sad not being able to get them all but my happiness exceeds my sadness because damn it, When Dimple Met Rishi is e v e r y t h i n g

So here is the hauuuuul!!!! There is a theme in here if you haven't noticed yet and I am letting you also know that I saw that ARC in there so I got it thinking it might just be a mistake that it got mixed or something. I don't want other online book sellers getting it. So I am really hoping it's the only one because it shouldn't be there to begin with.

FULLYBOOKED BGC'S 10TH ANNIVERSARY SALE HAUL.

Got home an hour ago from book hoarding at Fullybooked in Bonifacio High Street. Today is the start of their month long book sale in celebration of their 10th anniversary! (Last year, it was called MidYear Sale) This is the sale I have been talking about and been saving for since last year and it's always worth waiting for.

Woke up super early today, cleaned the room a bit and as usual, got sucked for three hours browsing social media (this has to stop haha) before I prepped up. There was slight traffic on my way but arrived twenty minutes after. People were starting to rummage the display tables when I arrived and at first, I was really disheartened because it's either the books I want weren't there or the books there were just at 50% off. And I want the 100php (2$) sale.

After two (?) hours of trying to score more books, I finally gave up. Good thing my friend Gari decided to meet up so he was with the whole time and I was also starting to feel tired. I was able to basket at least around 18 books then sorted through them and picked up only 8. I reserved three books though which aren't included in the sale and will pick them up soon. After the ever so tiring book shopping, we went to Ikkuryo and had lunch then I decided to go home. As soon as I got off the cab, the rain poured! It was sooooo fucking hot and humid so imagine the steam of the asphalt when it got wet with rain. Now am dizzy and about to throw up what I had for lunch.

If you wanna know more about the real time experience, here's my thread on Twitter HAHA -- click me! It was fun but would have been more exciting if bookish friends were there with me! So without further ado, here are the titles I decided to go home with: (nothing fancy here okay)

LO AND BEHOLD LOL

Willowgrove (Hemlock #3) by Kathleen Peacock (4star review)

Dust to Dust (Ashes #2) by Melissa C. Walker

The Replaced (The Taking #2) by Kimberly Derting

Deadly (Pretty Little Liars #14) by Sara Shepard

Ramona Blue by Julie Murphy

Devoted by Jennifer Mathieu

Irises by Francisco X. Stork

The Islands of Chaldea by Diana Wynne Jones, Ursula Jones

These hardcovers cost me (~25$) 1200php! Most of these are installments from different series. Some I have the first books of, some I don't have. I am trying to complete/collect the PLL series. Deadly is my 4th purchase so 12 more to go HAHA omg! Then I picked up Diana's because you know, Howl's author? And I cannot wait to go back! This loot didn't satisfy the book sale hoarder desires, I want more!

*This post is not in any way sponsored or whatever. I kinda wish it were, though HAHA*

Thank you so much for this awesome sale, FullyBooked and Happy 10th!
