Book Shopping 8

I went grocery shopping with my Dad, Mom, and older sister in SM Fairview yesterday. We visited Tatay in the cemetery before going to the mall. I didn't have any plans of visiting the bookstores since I just bought new books the other day. But while my parents are paying for the things we bought at the grocery, my sister dragged me to Booksale. She also loves to read books. Well, my whole family loves to read books but I am the most voracious reader among us. Anyway, my sister was looking for books written by her favorite authors but didn't find any. As for me, I found lots of books that I like and as usual, I wasn't able to resist them so I bought them. Here they are:

left to right: The Pilot's Wife by Anita Shreve (P40.00); The Last Time They Met by Anita Shreve (P40.00)

left to right: Blood Hunt by Ian Rankin (hardbound, P20.00); Mirror Lake by Thomas Christopher Greene (hardbound, first edition, P20.00)

Since my sister didn't find the books that she was looking for, I somehow influenced her into buying books written by other authors. She loves to read romance novels or historical-romance novels written by Jude Deveraux, Judith McNaught, and others. I, on the other hand, stay away from books like that. She sometimes reads books that are not romantic like Harry Potter and Sidney Sheldon novels. I suggested to her books written by Sue Grafton. Totally different from Jude Deveraux. She accepted my suggestion and bought 3 books written by Sue Grafton. I also saw a book that I'm interested in, but I didn't have enough money with me that day. It was a chick lit book. My sister also reads chick lits so she didn't think twice of buying that book. My book addiction must have been rubbing off to her. So here are the books she bought:

top to bottom: S is for Silence by Sue Grafton (hardbound, P30.00); L is for Lawless (hardbound, P45.00); Q is for Quarry (hardbound, P45.00); Four Blondes by Candace Bushnell (hardbound, P45.00)

Like me, she was really happy with her book purchases. So now, I have four more books to add to my stack of books to read. Well, make that eight since I'm also interested in the books my sister bought. So many books, so little time...
