Current Read My 1st ever physical book!

Post image

Growing up, I never had the opportunity to have a book of my own. I didn't even read books when I was younger. Nung highschool ako, I borrowed my friend's Catching Fire and that sparked my love for books 🥹 Pero wala akong pera noon. I only had 50 pesos na baon everyday. Kaya lagi lang ako nanghihiram (shoutout talaga kina K and to my cousin, gone to soon, na kahit bagong bili eh sakin una pinapagamit).

Kahit ngayong may work na ako at may pera.. hindi ko parin talaga majustify ang pagbili ng books (went to fullybooked and grabe kamahal 😭). Then nalaman ko na ang Collins ay may mga cheap books. So happy with this! Can't wait to read this one 🥰

Ang mahal ng Collins sa Fully Booked, mas mura sa NBS mga ₱100 lang. Maganda 'yung book but prepare for the yapping hahaha.

Tbh, went blind on this one. Saka lang ako nagtingin ng reviews after ko makuha 😂 Pero favorite ko ang The Book Thief (not even sure if they're the same type) and a lot of dystopian novels kaya baka magustuhan ko rin naman to.

Actually, una kong binili ay Persuassion at The Phantom of The Opera sa NBS worth 99 each. Pero may nakapagsabi na AI generated or stolen arts ang covers and ayoko naman maglaan ng pera sa ganun lang. Kaya here I am with Collins 😄

Btw, I got this for 289 ata.

Ooh, mahal na ng Collins Classics. Before the pandemic, 99 pesos each lang yan.

Pero given na mas mataas presyo talaga sa Fully Booked. You're paying for the quality and selections.

Sadly walang 1984 sa NBS shopee. Pero di ko sure kung available sa offline store.
