32nd Manila International Book Fair

If you're an avid book reader like me and most of my friends I am sure if there's a book sale or book fair you will be doing anything just to go there and get a glimpse even if it means you're not going to sleep yet.

A month ago I knew that there will be a book sale thanks to my friend who will have their booth there. I made a note on my planner, whatever happens I will go with the hopes of finding some of the books that is on my list. Sadly since I went there Saturday and it started Wednesday, some of the books I want were out of stock already, but I made sure that

Although it says 32nd Manila International Book Fair, I only started going to the book fair last year, because it was only last year that I was using my internet or more informative ways, like following blogs, using twitter and tumblr for informations re. sale or any useful tips, not just using my internet for games in facebook or cyber stalking. I found more books last year, probably the friend I went with last year is more game of finding good finds from the hundreds of racks that were on display. I am not walking out of the fair without any book on hand.

This year, I found a book that my Dad recommended, "The Eleventh Commandment" by Jeffrey Archer. My Dad knows I like Steve Berry and Dan Brown's like so he suggested that, though reading the book will have to wait because there are quite a number on queue right now.

I found "The Devil and Miss Prym" no need to mention who wrote it for 50 pesos, yes, 50 pesos. I also bought my cousin books, 2 "True Philippine Ghost Stories" for 50 pesos each from original price of 80 pesos. I bought a word hunt book for my Mom, for memory sharpness and to keep her busy too.

Surely next year, I will be walking the aisles of the book fair, hoping to find a book treasure. Well, every book is a treasure, Walt Disney said that, sort of like that.
