We finally got to visit the Booksale branch near us. We have not been able to go since our outings have been selective and getting to a Booksale was elusive. I told myself when we were decluttering that I will only buy books again when I have made a dent on my reading backlog. I also told myself I won't buy another craft book.
We were so excited when we visited Booksale. I think we spent at least half an hour in the store. I was surprised to find graphic novels. I grabbed two. One is a graphic anthology which includes two authors I personally know. The other one is a hardbound comics compilation by Neil Gaiman. It was tempting to get more. Maybe next time.
Sweetie quickly distracted me and showed me a Star Wars storybook he found. For only PhP85, it included a read-along. There were more, but we'll test one first. I also picked up two books on wellness. One is a self-love journal and the other one is a coloring book. I'm familiar with the coloring book because they used to sell the same in Singapore (x4 the price).
Miggy got 3 novels and a book on model ships. I broke my pact though and bought several quilt books. Hahaha. The books were sold as low as PhP15! The most expensive was a Better Homes and Gardens hardbound book on quilting. It was sold at PhP130! It was a really good deal and I guess quilting is an uncommon hobby, so no one's really interested in the books. Well, good for me! Haha.
I'm so glad Booksale is still around. I hope they eventually open more branches again :)
