2013 Book Haul



It’s unthinkable how addictive books are. I waste my free time in different worlds and adventures which an unexplainable sensation emerge in me each time. Only a few people are lucky enough to feel this and I’m glad to be one of those few. :)

I always find myself having a good time in being alone at bookshops and browse and rummage through its voluminous shelves as I gander for new adventures. So for this blog post, I want to share to all of you my book acquisitions for 2013. But I bet this is not all because I haven’t kept track of what I bought for the first few months and I’m pretty sure there’ll be new additions in the weeks to come. :D

So without further ado, here’s the list of my new books:



1.       A Vintage Affair by Isabel Wolff – Php 115.00 | Booksale

--- Honestly, this book is a bit expensive because I bought it from Booksale. But the thing is, the cover is super cute and after reading the summary, I fell in love right away that I just can’t let it go. So I bought it even if it’s expensive for a second hand book. Mehe~ By the way, 3 chapters left and I’ll finish reading this! I’ll do a review on this. :)


2.       Irish Lace by Andrew M. Greeley – Php 30.00 | Booksale
3.       At Weddings and Wakes by Alice McDERMOTT – Php 30.00 | Booksale





4.       FLORENCE (Spiral Guide) –Php 40.00 | Booksale
--- I’m in love with Italy and its arts and culture! In fact, it’s included in my bucket list of countries to visit. I want to familiarize and learn as much as I can about it before actually visiting the place. :))


5.       Colour Scheming by Carolyn Warrender –Php 115.00 | Booksale
6.       The Country Home – Php 90.00 | Chapters & Pages Corp. (Trinoma)


7.       Lady Cottington’s Pressed Fairy Book – Php 510.00 including shipping fee |
--- You know how much I love fairies so when I saw this online, I bought it immediately. I used my blogging money in buying this so thank you everyone who’s reading my blog. Hehe. I’ll do a review on this as well. :D




8.       A place of Secrets by Rachel Hore –Php 50.00 | Booksale




9.       The True Memoirs of Little K by Adrienne Sharp –Php 115.00 | Booksale
--- It’s expensive for a second handbook but I just can’t resist!!! It’s about a ballerina and her life and the Russian Court and the Russian Theater! Like, seriously, who will not buy it?!!! Haha. Oh my gosh, I’m so lucky to find this book. I shall do a review on this as well.


10.       Sabrina The Teenage Witch: Switcheroo – Php 10.00 | Booksale
11.       Sabrina The Teenage Witch: I’ll Zap Manhattan – Php17.00 | Booksale
 --- Childhood Memories! I’m collecting this actually. :D


12.       Nothing Hurts but my heart by Linda Barr –Php 10.00 | Booksale
---Gymnastics is very close to my heart aside from ballet. I’m a frustrated gymnast so I just have to have this book! :D


13.       Lizzie Mcguire: Totally Crushed – Php 25.00 | Booksale
---Childhood Memories! Hihi.
