Over the weekend, my family and I made a once-in-a-blue-moon trip to Makati (we hate the traffic!) to check a possible venue for the November F2F, which I am tasked to moderate (yay!). While there (I will tell you all about the venue, in a separate post), of course I can't not go to a bookstore, so I made a beeline for the Fully Booked branch at Greenbelt. :D
These are my purchases:
- Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell - I already have the Kindle edition, and the secondhand pink edition (a gift from my Buddy), but I want what we've taken to calling the "PAG-ASA edition," too. Last week, I've been tweeting Lucy of Fully Booked about reserving a copy for me, but since I couldn't find the time to swing by The Fort, I thought I'd just pick up a copy in Greenbelt and forego my reservation. Plus, I need to
rereadbrowse through this in time for Saturday's joint discussion! Spell excited! :D - The Perks of Being A Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky - Just curious, I guess, what with the movie already out and all. Aldrin stands by it, so... :D
The last title, Every Day by David Levithan, is purchased from my book club friend Ingrid, who sold me her brand-new copy - and supposedly a souvenir from the MIBF! She has her own reasons for selling it, and I am only too happy to get it since they ran out of stocks at Fully Booked.
How about you? Any new acquisitions this week? :D

Oh dear, I bet I'll be in soupy-brains mode again on Saturday. I lent my copy to Maria. Will try to listen to the audio sent by Miss Louize. :D
And I should also buy a PAGASA edition!
Honey also very recently liked Perks (rated it 4/5). Oh, and I've seen the movie twice already. Haha. Hope you like it. :)
P.S. I now blog (sort of) at this URL: http://exlibris.aldr.in.
BUDDY: Bumili ka na before the stocks run out again! I don't think I'll get the movie tie-in. The cover sucks. :))
ALDRIN: Okay, let me just see when I can squeeze it in. Unless you're willing to forego our Interpreter of Maladies buddy read so I can start on Perks? :P
Thanks for the new url! :)
Of course, I'm more than willing to put off our buddy read for Interpreter of Maladies (or any book for that matter) just so you can start on Perks earlier. Haha. :p
I read Perks when I was fresh out of college, and I liked it very, very much. So much that I lent my copy so others can read it too and I never got it back. Haha! I should replace that copy soon. :)
And yay David Levithan! Been seeing so many good reviews about that book, but I think I'll postpone reading it till February next year...kasi Valentine's. Haha. Since we're both so busy with our current reading schedules. :)
