Went to Bonifacio High Street last night to watch my friend’s football game. After that, we decided to eat at Mercato because we wanted to try different foods. It was a hell of a food trip. We ate so much and we can barely even move after indulging in such scrumptious foods. Of course, since we’re already at The Fort, I dragged my friends into Fully Booked just so I can browse for any good books. And voila! There you go! I found two book I’ve been wanting to buy for ages!
Numbers by Rachel Ward - This book is very hard to find. I go into a bookstore and all I would see is the sequel or the last book in the trilogy. So imagine my bliss when I spotted it at the bottom of one the bookshelves there. This book intrigues me since I read the summary. The main character can see the day people die just by looking at someone’s eyes. Seems a bit like Deathnote to me.
Every Day by David Levithan - I have been a big fan of David Levithan ever since I’ve read  Nick & Norah’s Infinite Playlist, Boy Meets Boy, an The Lover’s Dictionary. And so I just couldn’t miss out on this new novel. I guess I just wanted to know how Levithan works with a fantasy genre.   “Every day a different body. Every day a different life. Every day in love with the same girl. ”
And oh, since it’s officially the start of our semestral break, I’m gonna be hiding in my cave of books and try to absorb all their precious contents for about 3 weeks. Oh, how I’ve missed going on a reading marathon.

David Levithan (Boy Meets Boy)

And so I’m back from book shopping.

And these are the books I have found. Sorry for the crappy photo quality. I used my webcam since my camera isn’t here in my dorm. Words cannot express how happy I am to find these amazing books. Some of them, I’ve been desperately looking for over a year already. And yes, I guess I am just lucky. All of these books are on my to-buy list and now, I finally have them. It just sucks that I won’t be reading any of these soon since I have my exams coming. But oh well, my heart is just so glad now that I am in possession of these great books.

Here are the titles and the price if you are interested in buying them too:

The Absolute True Diary of a Part-Time Indian by Sherman Alexie (Php 399)

Going Bovine by Libba Bray (Php 462)

Let It Snow by John Green, Maureen Johnson and Lauren Myracle (Php 294)

Boy Meets Boy by David Levithan (Php 378)

Prozac Nation by Elizabeth Wurtzel (Php 609)

My Name Is Memory by Ann Brashares (Php 315)

And a grand total of:  Php 2457

I know it’s a lot but this would be my last book shopping this month. I would probably buy next month or maybe by March. And oh, I bought them all from Fully Booked. :)
