May 29th Book Haul

Hola everyone!! I am so excited to share with you the biggest book haul I’ve ever posted on this blog. Two days ago Big Bad Wolf was having a HUGE sale and it was a BOX SALE!! As in you buy a box for RM 80 (small) or RM 100 (large), then you’re free to grab as many books the box is able to hold. As long as the box can be sealed in the end you’re good to go, if not, then you just have to buy another box. Easy peasy lemon squeezy. Big Bad Wolf had this sale last year and I got 99 books (3 large boxes), which is an average of 33 books per box. This year I got 62 books and 2 The Mortal Instruments Postcards all neatly arranged in exactly 2 large boxes; the first box managed to hold 34 books and 2 TMI Postcards; the second box 28 books.

I remember being so very excited the night before the sale and not being able to fall asleep until it was around 2, then waking up at 7 in the morning and heading out with my mom and brother at 7.20. At 10.30 we were at the entrance of the exhibition hall and it was teeming with people already there before us. The fair was supposed to commence at 11 but due to the heat outside (where we were standing) they let us in 10 minutes earlier; so that was 20 minutes of sun bathing but I was so psyched about the event that it could have rained all over me and I wouldn’t have budged! Inside, there was a really long queue to buy the boxes, so instead of buying the boxes first we decided to get the books then the boxes. So, every time I got around 10 books I’d stop and load them in my luggage bag; did I forget to tell you guys about the bags? Oops. Yeah, we each brought a huge luggage bag with us; we always do. ‘Cause we’re crazy like that. 😉 Oh and if you were wondering, we did get loads of people looking at us like we were out of our minds, but we paid them no heed. A bookworm’s gotta do what a bookworm’s gotta do. 😉 Moving on, luggage bags and armfuls later, the line for the box finally cleared so we sent my brother to get the boxes. Long story short, we got a total of 4 large boxes and headed home with our bodies exhausted but our hearts ultimately satisfied. It would have been less exhausting if we drove there but instead we took public transportation. But you know what they say; where there’s a will, there’s a way.

Some of the books I got like Spirit Bound and Storm Glass are double copies of what I already had before the sale but I wanted my sets to match so I bought them too. I bought Spirit Bound (paperback) because the one I had was a hardcover copy and my entire Vampire Academy consists of paperbacks; Storm Glass because I had a different cover; Time Untime because I wanted to collect a whole set of hardcovers alongside my existing paperbacks; Fall of Night to match the rest of the books; Blood Moon just because I LOVE the story, I have 3 copies of it now. 😀

So, that’s it guys, 62 books, 2 TMI Postcard Collections and RM 200 spent; average of RM 3.10 per book. Once again I am broke and have to start saving for the next sale which is going to be around end of this year, early December, I think. Can’t wait! Just thought I’d let you know that I am now stuck with some of the books still in the box due to lack of shelf space. I’ve flooded my wardrobe, my side table, everything with books and I’m still stuck. * sigh * Any books catch your eye? Spot any books you’ve read and would recommend I read ASAP? Did you get any books recently? Let me know in the comments so we can chat! Happy reading and hauling! Hugs! ❤
