Big Bad Wolf Warehouse Sale 2011

Remember Big Bad Wolf 2010 I excitedly talked about last year? Wolfie has returned this year on 7/10/2011 to 16/10/2011 at Malaysian Agro Exposition Park, Serdang. Being a book lover, how can I not miss this great opportunity to grab some cut-down priced books?

As this time I had allowances from my internship, I managed to spend more this year. I was not really happy of the venue in MAEPS as it was not a convenient to be reached with public transports. Taking a taxi from KTM Serdang to the venue which is not far away costs a whooping RM21!!! Nevertheless, MAEPS was a big venue that able to accommodate more books and people.

I went twice to the book sales itself; once with WK on 8/10/2011 where I heavily carried back 20 books (RM165) and second round trip with my brother and sister on 15/10/2011, resulting another 18 books (RM129). All books were priced from RM8.00 to RM20.00.

I read various genres of books; from fictions to biographies, cultures and self enrichments. 

Books for my sister. I'm glad she enjoys reading as I do. But she prefers Chinese novels more. Recently she invested more than Rm100 for Diary of a Wimpy Kid series (crazy).

Comics were cheap; RM3 each but each series comes with only one or two volume so no point of buying. This one I bought got Volume 1-4 and it's Korean artwork so worth to get them. 

Knowledge-based books.

Inspiring books (not the Dork diaries). So happy I get my hands on Mitch Albom's For One More Day (RM8) and Rhonda Byrne's Secret the Power (RM14 courtesy from Groupon). 

Twilight series (RM8 each) and Shopaholic series (RM8 each)!!!

Big Bad Wolf came back for an Aftermath Sale on 24/11/2011 to 28/11/2011 at South City Plaza, Seri Kembangan where they offered books unsold or spoiled from Big Bad Wolf Sale earlier priced at RM5 and below! Result: I spent another RM47 for 11 books with my sister!


Third round in aftermath sale. RM5 for one book!

I guess I have to control myself from buying more books in a year time and finish up all the readings before the next Big Bad Wolf Sale! But if anyone of you still wishes to get some good books at really low price (not as low as RM8, but around RM20-ish), go to BookXcess located in Amcorp Mall. You'll get good bargains there. Happy reading, folks!
