Warehouse sales

I just found out today that the MPH Distributor Warehouse sale will be held from 15 ~ 18 Sept 2011. I will be away balik kampung from 16 to 18 September so the only day I can go is - tomorrow! So far, I've been to MPH Distributor sale twice and I was happy and satisfied on both occasions. Should I take half day leave to go?

The MPH Warehouse Sale 2011 will be held at ground floor warehouse of Bangunan TH, 5 Jalan Bersatu, Section 13/4, 46200, Petaling Jaya, Selangor, and will be open from 8am ~ 7pm. I got these info here.

The other warehouse sale is still a few weeks away, so there's still time to plan properly. Big Bad Wolf Sale (an affilliate with Book Xcess) will be held in MAEPS Serdang from 7 to 16 October 2011. Unbelievably low prices, but you may not find popular or new titles there.

What I really want to buy right now, is a good dinasour book for my son (he's into dinasours at the moment) at a good price (RM30 or less?).

Date: 12-17 November 2010
Venue: Ground Floor, South City Plaza, Seri Kembangan

Adult fiction and non-fiction starts at RM8 only. Last year I spent only RM71 on 8 books. I'm not sure yet whether I'll be going. I still have quite a huge backlog of books that I haven't read yet.

Check out the website. They listed some of the books that will be there.

And there goes my two months book budget

My friend A agreed to join me for the Times book sale last Friday despite the fact that she already planned to go there during the weekend. Thanks for the company, A, and thanks for the lunch treat too! :)

Overall, I think it’s a sale worth going to. Recent and popular books were sold at 30% discount. You can find most popular authors here for example Paolo Coelho, Jodi Picoult, Cecilia Ahern, Sophie Kinsella, John Grisham, Dan Brown (even his latest book The Lost Symbol is going at 30%), Stephen King, the teenage vampire series – Stephanie Mayers I think (don’t really follow or read this hehe), and many many more. Not much BM books though. These are found nearer the entrance. Farther, you see the 3 for RM30, RM20 orRM10 ones, but the books here are more difficult to ‘sieve’ through, placed with the spine facing up rather than the cover. With the limited time, I didn’t manage to scour the area much.


One thing, I noted the posters there said that the sale is actually until the 16th of May instead of the 9th (as per poster in my previous post),but unfortunately I forgot to take the photo of the updated posters itself! So, there’s still time if you want to catch this sale.

I ended up buying 5 books for myself and MH (ok, maybe for myself only) and 2 for the kids (also at 30%). These 7 books costed me RM160. I said it’s my two months book budget because my annual book budget is RM1000, not that much eh? The total price before discount exceeded RM200, so I qualified for a RM10 voucher.



I’ve read Paolo Coelho’s The Alchemist and I really liked it, so I was pleased to see his other titles there. In fact, I couldn’t make up my mind which one to choose from the many options! I chose ‘The Winner Stands Alone’ because I’ve read someone’s review (can’t remember where/who) saying he/she likes the book. And Malcolm Gladwell, I surprised myself by picking up TWO of his books, despite the fact that I’ve never read any of his works before. I have heard a lot about him and his books though. I guess the copywriters who wrote the book blurbs really did a good job - I’m sold!

And these books, weren’t bought, but borrowed from a friend’s friend (passed through A). Thanks, kak, for lending me the books despite the fact that you don’t know me well. Terima kasih daun keladi!

Mega Book Clearance Fair

I have a date tomorrow with a fellow bookaholic at Book Xcess, Amcorp Mall. I’ve been wanting to go since they open their new and bigger store in March. But then, the store can wait, and this Times sale is only up to the 9th, and the number 90% is really tempting me… I think I’ll give her a call to ask whether she'd mind a change in venue :)

If you haven't got any plan for the weekend, why not drop by at Bangsar Shopping Centre? Other than the Times booksale, there will also be a charity bazaar (on May 8 and 9, 10am to 5pm) organised by VIVA Palestina Malaysia in aid of the Palestinians.
