The importance of punctuation in a new light. (From The Lover’s Dictionary, by David Levithan, p. 162. Picador 2012.)
I swore I wouldn’t buy anything until I saw THIS. Why do you do this to me, Fully Booked?!
*FACEPALM*
Now I have an extra copy that I don’t know what to do with. I should sell it, but who would buy it if they could get it at a bookstore? I wasn’t even supposed to be there. My sister wanted to check out some stuff and I ended up wandering in the YA section. I saw this lonesome copy and picked it up. I need to avoid bookstores.
Y’know what, screw the so-called book ban. I found this today while waiting for my mom and I wasn’t even supposed to buy anything in the first place.
A few observations from today:
- They have a few copies in their North Edsa branch. If you’re planning to buy one and you’re from the North, try that branch.
- I checked the Filipiniana section (is that what it’s called?) just for kicks and found lots of copies of Sir Groyon’s books. (To my fellow DLSU Comm Arts graduates: Ang dami niya na palang libro?! I’m so ignorant.)
- Overheard at the YA section:
“Why are there so many vampire books?”
“That’s the way it is.”
“Vampires, puro nalang vampires!” - Fully Booked has replenished their shelves. They have Michael Chabon’s “The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay” now.
- I hate these sensor/alarm stickers that National Bookstore sticks on the books. You can’t remove them without damaging the book. >:|
BY THE WAY, I watched Kick-Ass with my mom and we LOVED it! Aaron Johnson’s American accent is pretty impressive. And he’s cute. <3 Anyway, I’m going to fix my new bookshelf tomorrow and maybe post a photo here. I’m going to watch season two of The Office now.
