Tsundoku part 2

Each book doesn’t cost more than PhP 165 at Booksale. These are for my girls but I could borrow the Cornelia Funke book and The Girl Who Chased Away Sorrow. Photo by CallMeCreation.com

The sky was so dark this afternoon and my body is not cooperative because I have my period. I would have wanted to just stay in bed but I needed to drag my girls away from the computer so we went to Booksale in Cubao.

Lots of cheap books! Heaven for a bibliophile like me. Photo by CallMeCreation.com

We took our time as there are really good books there if you’re not against rummaging through the stacks. I didn’t buy any for myself because I have 20+ books on my shelf that I have to finish. I keep buying books. I must stop until I finished all of them. I still have books I loaned to my mom that I must get back.

I skipped the paperbacks. I have tons at home that I still need to finish. Photo by CallMeCreation.com

I recommended to my daughter to get the Cornelia Funke book because I already owned two of her books (Inkheart series). I really, really need to get my hands on Nancy Drew books for my girls. The book sellers in UP used to have them but of course they’re no longer there since the pandemic started. I miss the book sellers 💔 I miss Bookay-ukay 💔💔💔

I used to have a lot of science fiction and fantasy books but they’re mostly in my mom’s house. I hope she hasn’t given them away… She gave away a lot of my books before because she said they took up so much space 😭 I think I have completed all the Diana Wynne Jones books. For the life of me, I cannot stand the Robert Jordan books. I don’t know why.

I am now scouring Carousell for Nancy Drew books. Instead of buying, I ended up uploading a big leather bag that I barely use to sell. Proceeds would go to buying a smaller leather bag. Hehehe. Talk about capital recycling.
