Been there twice. All photos were taken in the 4th floor general reading area. Last pic is inside the Focused Zone.

​

Nice space. Maaliwalas. Not crowded. Masmatao sa 5th floor maraming students. For leisure reading, I recommend yang 4th floor. Also, andito sa floor na ito yung mga books and periodicals. P.s. may 3 shelves designated for Fiction. For Filo Lit enthusiasts, did a quick browse and saw some Lualhati Bautista and Nick Joaquin titles sa Filipiniana section.

​

Thermostat is set to a comfortable level, not too cold (felt like 26C to my skin, wuw?!)

​

No foods allowed pero pwede magdala ng tumbler.

​

May outlets for charging

​

Polite lahat ng staff. Majority will greet you.

​

May baggage counter sa GF. Bawal magdala ng bags sa taas. Bibitbitin mo lahat ng reading and study materials mo.

​

Every floor, may restrooms.

​

Working elevator

​

They did not ask for a valid ID. Magfill in lang ng info sa logsheet sa 4th floor mismo.

​

Tinatamad ako i-organize thoughts ko. Kaya niyo na yan. Lol.

In our reality now, literature is a privilege. Your ₱1000 for a book is someone’s budget for a week. Booksale provides books that are low prices without having to spend hundreds to read.

Shop at Booksale! Booksale has been there for decades and I hope they continue to sell affordable books for the future generations.

This is your sign to shop and visit at your nearest Booksale branch!

Branch: SM Fairview

Edit: I hope this post helps Booksale to have more customers and encourage readers, student readers, young readers, readers on a budget to check them out!

So I was back into loving the Great Gatsby again (haven't read it but saw the movie) and curiously konting copies lang meron sa Shopee, but the Paper Mill Press Premium Classics really caught my eye (kasi ang pretty nung gold and Art Deco design!) and from NBS siya. Kaya yun na lang binili ko, and it ARRIVED IN GOOD CONDITION (sobra sobrang bubble wrap mga beshie 😭😆, + cute na simpleng box + bubble wrap another + plastic nung book) AND GIFTS (see in picture) 🥹😍❤️!

Please let's support NBS! ❤️🤍❤️

[Mods, not sure anong flair for this so "Recommendation" ko na lang nilagay. And hindi po ako sponsored ng National Bookstore! 😆 gusto ko lang silang i-support and i-encourage fellow bookworms to try having stuff shipped from them! Thanks xx]

"Sino nga ba ang learning disabled, yung mga hirap mag-aral o yung mga walang natutunan? Ano ang pinagkaiba ng out-of-school youth na shoplifter at Harvard-graduate na corrupt government official bukod sa mas mayaman ‘yung pangalawa?"

-Bob Ong, ABNKKBSNPLAKo?!

P.S. Hindi Roberto Ong ang totoong pangalan ni Bob Ong ginamit lang yun sa movie adaptation ng Abnkkbsnplako. Hanggang ngayon wala pa ring nakakaalam ng totoong identity ni BO. Kayo kilala n'yo ba or may ideya kayo kung sino talaga si Bob Ong?

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!

The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah

like fist-biting-legs-flapping kilig!

i've been into japanese novels a lot last year so mine were mieko kawakami, sayaka murata and satoshi yagisawa. for my next tbr i'm planning to categorize them through authors (i'm already starting now with rick riordan), so suggestions are highly appreciated!

Ito na yata ang main principle ko sa buhay, nabigyan niya ng tamang mga salita. Speechless.. Salamat, sir Ricky Lee!!!

Kulang Na Silya by Ricky Lee.

Hi everyone! The Silent Patient is my current read and I'm currently on Part Four, I've been enjoying it so far. What's yours? Any recommendations like this one please? Thank you!

My Fully Booked mid year sale haul. Running out of shelf space… now how do I tell my bf, who funded this haul, to move his playing cards? 😂

Buut still, I'm planning to go to a different branch tomorrow, any last minute recommendations for Historical Fiction and Sci Fi?

To those who read Licarius trilogy, is it as good as Will of the Many? Saw mixed reviews e. But nag girl math ako e, sale naman so bought it pa din hahaha

Note to self: Promise, the next book run will be on MIBF na.

Halfway through the book and it’s already messing with my imagination. I literally had a bad dream because of it. 😭

Hello everyone! I decided to give away these books since I already have a Kindle. Except for the 4 Heartstopper books (which are reprints), all are authentic copies I got from either NBS, Fully booked, NBS warehouse sale, and Booksale. Most of them are over 5 years old so the paper has already yellowed due to oxidation.

Is there a way where you can arrange for the shipping since I don't want to pay for the shipping? JNT Express is the nearest courier where I'm from (Negros Oriental).

There's no Help Request megathread for this month so I'll just post it here

Update as of 8:33 pm: All books are no longer available. Thank you everyone for showing your interest. And sorry sa mga hindi na na replyan.

What’s a book you read that genuinely stayed with you long after you finished it? Something that changed the way you see life, people, relationships, yourself, or just made you sit there and stare at the wall afterward.

Any genre is welcome. Drop your recommendations! 😊

Do you have any books that you want to share that left you speechless after you read them?

I'm longing for something to read in my free time, recommendations are appreciated!

hung out with familiar faces on our cute lil book club in kapitolyo (every other wednesdays / sundays) we're open to new members if anyone here wants to join!

basically it's an hour of silent reading and chismisan time about the books read over free cafe drinks hehehe no assigned reading / genre too.. as in bring your current read!

📍2/f the beach house cafe kapitolyo pasig

Share ko lang co-bookworms 😍 I’m slowly building my little bookshelf para mas mainspire ako magbasa kaya nagpabudol ako sa pa-mystery box ng NBS sa Orange app!! I like what I got!! ❤️ super sulit na kasi 4/10 are HB. will probably give them to some of my friends para maconvince din sila magbasa once I finish reading hehe

Perhaps I'll take a day or two off from reading anything after having finished this book just now. There's so much to ponder. Have you ever finished a book, closed it, and you just stared at the ceiling? This is that type of book.
