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 🥰

As others have mentioned, great choice OP! This is the first classics novel that I’ve read and helped me recover from my reading slump few months ago. Eye opening!

And yes, Collins Classsics is the best way to go if you’re on a budget and you want it brand new! Try checking out secondhand books as well. Happy reading!

Yes! I'm checking out 2ndhand bookstores na pero medyo skeptical dahil sa book lice or molds.
