My loot

National Bookstore is on sale! S-A-L-E is my favorite four letter word, I practically buy everything on sale. A rule I follow when buying is if it isn't at least 50% off I wouldn't buy it. Why buy it at full price when I can buy it at a discounted price, right?

Anyway, here is my loot. Everything was 70% off! 

1\ Incendiary by Chris Cleave
    Last year I read "Gold" by the same author and I was highly amused, I have high hopes for this book.


2\ Remarkable Creatures by Tracy Chevalier
    This on'es been on my "to buy" list since it came out but never saw it on sale.

3\ Toxicology by Jessica Hagedorn
    Right now I'm reading "Manila Noir", it's a collection of noirish short story edited by Jessica Hagedorn. She probably is the most famous Filipino voice in literature but this would by my first foray into her work, haven't read "Dogeaters" just yet.
Now all I have to do is find time to read all this. I seldom buy actual books now since I transitioned to ebooks, my Kindle has been keeping me busy and it still has a lot of books I have yet to read but it's nice to feel and smell actual paper once in a while.
