Smart buy! Smart books!
This afternoon we went to the Orient Pearl, the building that PJ blogged about, to hunt books. I share this same passion for books with my friends that's why I get to share a lot of stuffs about it with them. We even share our books. But books are getting the money off our purses, so we have to find a place to buy cheap ones. And PJ saved the day -- or should I say, our purses. Haha.
The Orient Pearl sells a lot of books! From textbooks to novels, they have it! We found Paulo Coelho's books with a price ranging from just 150 to 190 pesos. Also novels of Nicholas Sparks, Sidney Sheldon, James Patterson and John Grisham just cost 150 pesos too. Don't think that it's secondhand because it's not. I don't know where or how do they get those books. Hope it's not from something illegal. Hehe.
I bought Nights in Rodanthe by Nicholas Sparks. I was longing for that book for ages, but I keep on stopping myself from buying it since it's very expensive. 315pesos for a 222-page novel. No deal! That's why I grabbed the novel the moment I saw it in the Orient Pearl. It just costs 150! I saved even more than half! :))
I noticed that the books that I've read are just limited in the writings of Rowling, Meyer, Sparks and Coelho so I decided to try another author -- Sidney Sheldon. I bought The Naked Face for again, 150 pesos. This one is a smarter purchase. SS books cost 400 pesos in National Bookstore. Talk about profit! HMP. The plot of this novel is veeeery interesting! I am going to read it before I give it to Eric. Yeah, I bought the book for him since SS is one of his favorite authors. Sweet. Hehe.
I bought another book from a different bookstore in Recto. We were just strolling around when I saw Chamber of Secrets sold for just 250. Waaah. I tried to haggle since my money left was only 200, but they won't give it to me. Thanks to Vaughn for lending me the 50!
I bought these books for only 550 pesos!! I saved 544 pesos!! Grabe! That's almost 50% discount. I could say that today, I did the smartest purchase of my life. HEHE.
