It's like, everytime I'm here, I feel the obligation to keep this running.
Been going on a book shopping spree for the past few months.
Haven't been able to read the ones I bought,
yet I'm still adding on to the tiresome list.
Bought Eat, Pray, Love recently... LIKE FINALLY!
Cause I was searching high & low for the original cover.
Thanks to Jean love, who helped me ask the counter.
I realised... I have issues with asking for help.
Like how I would protest when the boyfriend decides to ask the concierge for directions.
No wonder I'm always lost in Pyramid, never bothered to ask xD
Anyways...

The last 10 books are really really old!
So I'm really hoping MPH would have another warehouse sale.
Then, I'll be able to stock up :D
Imagine, a book can cost up to RM35.
I have say, about 35 in mind.
That would be *calculating....* a total of RM1225!
It's crazy! How on Earth is this encouraging young people to read?!
Yeah I know, receipts can be used for tax deductions.
But really, it would take YEARS for me to complete my collection.
Plus, everytime a movie adaptation comes out,
I'LL WANT THE BOOK!
This year's the WORST!
FOUR came out, and I'm sure you can see which were they *sigh*
To top it all up, I HATE HATE HATE movie poster covers...!
For example...
Gag gag PUKE PUKE PUKE -.-So not buying the book with him on the cover.
DOUBLE TRIPLE QUADRAPLE CROSS-OUT!
Although this is indeed a juicy cover, I'm still gonna have to pass.No movie poster covers please!
BRING BACK THE ORIGINALS! :(
So, yes.
I'm still searching.
Any clue, please holler & help me out.
DANKE!
*scurries off & burries self in books*
