I realized recently that I trigger impulse buying when it comes to books. Whenever I passed by Booksale in Robinsons or Gaisano City, there is no instance that I leave the store without a book in hand. That maybe is because I still have that fascination on checking topics and reading them and that I inherit since my childhood.

My recent purchase was via online on the Shopee website when I came upon one book while browsing on the results for “Magic the Gathering”. The item was very old, and was pocket players guide to Magic: The Gathering Fourth Edition. That instantly caught my attention since I had before borrowed MTG Novels from my friends’ collection which he got when buying the Fatpack products of the past sets. It was sad though that they discontinued it when I already have the buying capacity for those products.

Anyhow, the book costs 100 pesos and I needed to buy at least 500 pesos in order for a free shipping voucher to be validated. That said, I had to browse to the other books listed in the shop which were mostly on the Sci-Fi theme.

Here below is the summary of the titles I bought:

The total purchase was 550 + the discounted 40 pesos. Unfortunately, it was not the expected full free shipping. I would expect it to arrive in a week and with a cash on delivery option, I got ample time to set aside my budget for this purchase.
