Well, it’s been a while since I last posted. Honestly, I might abandon this blog and consolidate it with my other blogs. But there’s still things I have to do before I can get to that so this blog is still alive. So, for a few updates:

Bookstore now open!
My good friends from college and I have decided to open an online shop to sell our pre-loved books. Some of them are ones we’ve had for years, while others are new and have been read only once. We’re gearing up for new releases from our favorite authors in the coming months, and we’re also in desperate need for shelf space.

You can check out our stock over at Books and Baubles. For now, we’re limiting our selling and shipping to the Philippines, mostly because we don’t have any means to accept payments from abroad just yet. I do hope you can drop by and see if any of the books catch your interest. We’ll be updating it every now and then, so keep coming back!

Book buying spree
Warning to all: browsing eBay.ph is addicting! I went there initially to compare book prices, but I spotted a book that I wanted and it was cheap. I purchased it, browsed for me and the next thing I knew I had purchased more than a thousand bucks worth of books. In two weeks, mind you.

One thousand pesos for ten books isn’t bad, considering that they are all in great condition and that they’re all quite brand new. Good thing that the money I used was some extra, and not the one I put aside from daily expenses. But my golly, I have to stop this or at least go on a hiatus for two months! Still, it was fun though. Hehe.

I promise that this latest batch will be the last one I’ll buy. Really. Because my financial resources are totally drained. :D

Reviews
I’m not so very good at writing reviews, but I’ll try to do some. I’ve gotten some pretty interesting books recently, and I just want to share them. So look out for some book reviews in the near future!

These are books that I’m disposing off. I really hate parting with my books, but I need the space in my house, and I don’t want to throw them away.

Just leave a note on the comments, letting me know which book you want and your email address (I suggest you put it as to prevent spam on your account) so can discuss the pick-up or delivery details. For pick-up, I can meet you in any of the LRT 2 stations. If you choose to have the book delivered, I’ll have to add the price of delivery to the total cost. I’ll be using 2GO, and you make check their prices at their website (look for the Quickpack document option)

I’ll also be adding books to this list as I clean up my place, so keep coming back for updates!
