As
a self-confessed bookworm that I am, I’m always on the go to find new treasures
that I will dig into. Last week, I was browsing my Facebook account and found
an online bookshop. They were selling second hand books in mint conditions for
a cheaper price.
I
was contemplating so hard, whether to buy it or not. But gawd, I couldn't
resist it! I wanted it so bad. Seeing those books makes me drool and makes my
heart beats so fast.
Alas!
After minutes of battling with myself, I sent the seller a personal message
that includes the title of the books that I want. The seller replied
promptly. I was taken aback when he replied and told me that he would deliver
the books personally. Later I found out that the owner of that online shop was
our distant relative who lives near our house. Oh well, I guess being a
bookworm runs in the family.
The
books were delivered last Friday morning.
I couldn’t help it! I was smiling the whole time while he’s telling me
details about the schedule of new upload. He even told me that if I wanted a
book and if it’s not on his album, I could send him a list and he will look for
it. I was thrilled when I heard it!
So without further ado, here’s my new book hauls! *drumroll please*
