We are in a huge dilemma – there is no more space to store our book collections!
So we decided to keep some books that we had gotten too attached to and find some new owners for the others.
But first, let me proudly present our goodies from Book Fest 2011. Taa daa!
We kind of overspent this year because we had to get The Adventures of Tintin hardcover collection which stretched out budget to unimaginably infinity. We had been storing hope for this collection for ages and coincidentally it was on sale so we grabbed it.
There is a total number of 7 volumes to this edition (the latest edition has 8 volumes) but unfortunately the first volume was nowhere to be seen. We managed to place a special order at Borders the next day. Anticipating the day it arrives!
Ok, as for the pre-loved books, here’s a few that i am selling at a low price. Most are newly bought (within this year) and in extremely good condition.

Title: Blindness
Author: Saramago, Jose
Genres: General Fiction
Book Condition: Good Condition (no wear & tear)
Original Price: RM42.90
Selling Price: RM18.00Description: A city is hit by an epidemic of “white blindness” which spares no one. Authorities confine the blind to an empty mental hospital, but there the criminal element holds everyone captive, stealing food rations and raping women. There is one eyewitness to this nightmare who guides seven strangers-among them a boy with no mother, a girl with dark glasses, a dog of tears-through the barren streets, and the procession becomes as uncanny as the surroundings are harrowing. A magnificent parable of loss and disorientation and a vivid evocation of the horrors of the twentieth century, Blindness has swept the reading public with its powerful portrayal of man’s worst appetites and weaknesses-and man’s ultimately exhilarating spirit. The stunningly powerful novel of man’s will to survive against all odds, by the winner of the 1998 Nobel Prize for Literature.
Give my books a home yeah?
