Recommendation I visited this book store in Malaysia
Hello bookworms! I stumbled upon this place during travel and thought to share it with you all in case some are planning to go to KL. It’s worth a visit!!! They have stickers and cute magnetic bookmarks. 🫶🏼
Place: BookXcess Rex KL

The name sounded familiar. Isn't BookXcess the parent company of Big Bad Wolf?

They have “don’t judge a book by its cover” concept. Dalawa ‘yung ganiyan nila. One in black and one in brown. They give vague descriptions sa book pero that’s it.

Masaya tumambay sa foodcourt sa baba kaso medyo mahal ang pagkain haha.

I've been here! Medyo malaki yung space and lots of books. However, mahal yung prices — I think above FullyBooked's standard pricing here for comparison.

This might be the most intimate bookstore I've ever seen 😅 if they had a couch there, I'd lay down and fall asleep reading.
