This is a bit of a late blog post (just a week ago) but I just wanted to share again that I had my recent book purchases when I dropped by Booksale in Robinsons Iloilo on a Friday last week. I seldom go to that establishment lately as I currently have a lot of pending books that I haven’t done reading yet.
Anyhow, here it goes
Blueprint – Measuring Sustainable Development
Price: P155
As I have browsed through this book’s table of contents, I’ve found some topics that I might need to read or have as a reference for my subjects in the current course I am taking which is the Diploma in Urban and Regional Planning. Sustainable Development has been thoroughly discussed in the previous semester so I am convinced that I still need to know more about this topic.
The Money Diet by Martin Lewis
Price: P50
This is a late grab purchase as I was about to drop my books at the cashier for payment. I have thought of having this one as my guide in budgeting my weekly or even daily expenses. That’s included in my pile of financial freedom books I have at the HQ.
Steve Jackson’s Creature of Havoc
Price: P25
I usually browse at the Fantasy books section whenever I drop by Booksale and hoping to find an old Magic: the Gathering novel that was once included in Fat Packs. I haven’t been lucky ever since, as I usually found Dragon Lance and the Star Trek book series. Anyhow, what convinced me to buy this book is the fantasy gameplay factor. It is not only reading but also taking the role of the main character and deciding its fate in your hands. That is every move and decision are to be done by you. I haven’t started playing it though so I’ll just share a quick look of the inside page.
To wrap up things, I’d suggest having and reading books as a pastime activity. It will in one way relax your eyes from the PC or laptop monitor. Also, it won’t cost you much as Booksale is your store of source. Most books would only cost about half or less of that expensive coffee you are buying, and the value of knowledge that you are digesting would surely suffice.
