Books

I have a decent stash of books here that I'm open to lend to people - particularly to friends who love to read. After all, books are meant to be read, not collected.

Here's a list of what I have (not an organized one though, will get to that once the list is completed), but before that, here's things you must know:
  1. If you wish to borrow any of these books, you can either leave a comment here or let me know on FB. You should tell me [a] who you are, [b] what book you want to borrow, and [c] where you want to meet. 
  2. You can only borrow the book/s for two weeks. After that, it must be returned.
  3. I can meet you in Makati (preferably in one of the Gloriettas or the Greenbelts). I can do Manila if it's near DLSU. If it's outside these places, you'll have to let me know, because I have zero knowledge of these places outside my Manila-Makati comfort zone and I cannot go there unless I'm given lead time.
  4. I can only lend to [a] friends or [b] acquaintances for now.
  5. Take care of the books, because the owner (me) does.
  6. Manga must be returned on the same day. Sorry, the ones I own are pretty hard to get - they were either obtained [a] through the Internet or [b] cannot be gotten anywhere else except from where I got them (LOL).

  2. Hi! I'm just wondering where you usually buy your books. I also love reading but I can't seem to find any good book to read apart from those that social networking sites endorse.

    1. Hello! I usually buy them in the local bookstore (PB, FB, NBS). I usually go with [1] my gut feel, [2] the genre that I'm most comfortable with (speculative fiction, historical fiction), and [3] recommendations from friends. I find that spending some time in bookstore just browsing through books (without the intention of buying) really helpful.

      For the manga, I buy them online (Yesasia). I hope this helps. =D

  3. Hi again! Thanks for the advice! I also visit Fullybooked but not to the extent as you do. Hihi. I made a-not-professionally-done-review of a book I've read a few months ago. Hope you can check it. Here's the link: http://alwaysavip.blogspot.com/2012/08/the-girl-with-dragon-tattoo.html

    Thanks again for your reply! God Bless!
