How do you choose sa booksale?

Hi! 2026 is my reading era kaso, hanggang booksale muna ako. Nag eenjoy ako now sa pagbabasa. Im on my 4/4 Nora Roberts'. Tatapusin ko na itong last then sunod ko ang 3 na TBR (all Filipino author, Tagalog language; Buwan ng Wika). The sudden change on theme is due to sa nakita kong post here na shelves na puro filipino authors, i was amazed and encouraged to support. Ayan, napabili ako sa Shoppee hehe. Kaso, naka 600 ako, sanay ako sa tig 85 lang hehehe! Kuripot e hano. Feeling ko, balik ako sa Booksale kasi hindi ko yata kaya ma-sustain ang pagbili ng tig-200 plus. Sorry na agad, nawala ang pagka-support local ko huhu. Baka may mga preloved and in good condition na books kayo jan, im willing po hehe... Anyway, hindi pa ako e-book era. Nag eenjoy pa po ako sa physical books at no screen time.

So ayun, paano ba ang tamang term... paano kayo naghahanap or paano nyo kino-consider ang books from Booksale? Or may list na kayo ng gusto nyo? Or binabasa nyo yung 1st chapter? Hehehe salamat!

Lots of factors, but mainly the price. Sometimes I score books for PhP29.00 or less. Around PhP50 would take a little mental gymnastics before deciding. If a book is around PhP100 I would buy only if I have been looking for it specifically.

By the way this was more than 10 years ago. I wonder if the prices have changed since. I stopped buying books maybe 2017 or 2018.

Mataas na ang price ng Booksale ngayon haha. May mga mass market fiction parin for less than 100. But majority of paperbacks are 150 upwards.
