Book Shopping 9

You are probably tired of reading about my book shopping trips. Honestly, I am getting tired, too. So I think this would be my "last" book shopping for now.

There is a book fair in TriNoma which will end tomorrow. I've been seeing the ad about it in the newspaper but I always forget to visit it whenever I am in TriNoma. So this afternoon, I went there to finally check out the book fair before it ends.

There were lots of interesting books on sale. But I didn't buy any. Why? While I was browsing through the shelves, I thought of the stack of unread books in my room. They are currently on the floor because there is no more space available in my bookshelf. So I decided to make a room first for my books before buying new ones. I left the book fair and went to Powerbooks and National Book Store.

While I was in Powerbooks, I thought of buying my younger brother a book because he won the Oral Reading Contest and Spelling Bee Contest in school. I usually give him (and most people) books as gifts. Right now, my brother likes to read Geronimo Stilton. He is a mouse who runs a newspaper. I looked for it in Powerbooks but didn't find any. So I went to National Book Store. I didn't find the book there, too. I looked for another book that will interest my brother. Finally, I saw a book about Neopets, my brother's latest craze. It is a TV show that he watches in Nickelodeon. Since the sale is still ongoing in NBS, I got a discount.

Neopets: The Ultimate Field Guide (P135.25)

My brother also got these books as prize for participating in a discussion in school:

So it was my brother, not me, who got new books today. Good for him.
