Who's afraid of the Big Bad Wolf?

Not I! Especially if he comes bearing books!

For (most probably, I'unno) the first time ever, the Big Bad Wolf book sale was in Penang, and I was totally excited as book sales in Penang generally mean "buy 1 get second one at 10%" or "members only" (which is 20%).

Which is still quite disappointing because I'm never a member of anything.

[And I would be disappointed as well if I were a member.]

So I made time out of work to attend the sale, and it was like the warehouse book sales of old.

Books laden everywhere, all (yes, all!) costing RM8, and I managed to buy three! Only, but it's more than my usual numbers, which are either one or zero.

Because one of those books was A Memory Of Light, retail price RM110! Yes, I (well, my mom) found the hardcover, and I totally bought it for 8 friggin' bucks!!!

BEST. BUY. EVAR.

I'd also bought Hilary Mantel's Bringing Up The Bodies (couldn't find Wolf Hall) and Robert Ludlum's The Prometheus Deception, and am working my slowly through Mantel. Her writing style takes a bit getting used to.

Blogger's note: Sale was two months ago, so this, as usual, is late-posted. Off-topic, early Happy Star Wars Day!
