Book Buying Binge at the Big Bad Wolf Book Sale

Bookaholics and bibliophiles must be bingeing at Sri Kembangan still... because the annual Big Bad Wolf book sale there at the Malaysian International Exhibition & Convention Centre (MIECC) has been extended to the 21st of December. Started since the 5th of the month, the 24/7 sale event has been attracting quite a lot of people, especially now that it is the school holidays.

A and I went there on a weekday to avoid the probably overwhelming crowd on weekends rummaging through the purported 3.5 million volumes on sale. I bought 18* books for RM175 while A got 50 books (from two forays). At an average of less that RM10 per book, it works out to be quite a steal! So we reckoned we'd keep our book buying to this particular sale only, but we ended up with too many caveats (like special occasions, author book signings, etc.). So I guess we'll keep on buying books whenever and wherever. As a constant reader, I am seriously thinking of binge reading as a 2015 resolution... err, but this is what I have been doing since forever!
