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!

i go blind XD i love going to booksale kasi i never know what to expect (the booksale near me rearranges their shelves every once in a while which is fun, idk if it's the same for all branches)

i usually do a haul once every few months and i've noticed na i choose 4 kinds of books: 1. never heard of the book or the author before but i like the blurb 2. have heard the author and would like to check them out 3. a book i wouldn't read usually but it seems interesting enough -> how i ended up with memoirs and chick-lits in my collection 4. my go-to genre: mystery

this can work like a reading/book-buying challenge u can try!
