A bad luck for me.. I love reading books, specially haruki murakami books. One of the well-known bookstores here in the philippines is on sale. Unfortunately, i cannot buy my favorite books because i don't have enough money. It's a tough month for me because i have to save money for something which is much important for that book. Guess i will be waiting for the next book sale of national book store!

Save up now and then the next time they have a sale you can get twice as much as you would have been able to get before! My husband and I frequent thrift stores, or are starting too, for books that we will read, or authors we like!

like what they say, better luck next time. Don't worry when a door closes a window opens. There will be a next book sale and that time you'll be prepared and was able to save enough money for the book you've always wanted. Happy mylotting!

There's always a 'next time'.. :) Anyway, certain malls these days often conduct 'end of the month' sale or 'payday' sale or something which means that most of the shops, including bookstores, are on sale, too. If not, maybe you can just buy or download ebooks instead. That's what I am into these days since I spend most of my time in front of the computer.

HI Chiara,
I was actually at a National Book Store branch last weekend and I saw they cut back prices up to 70%, quite a sale huh! Well, better lux (luck) next time 
, and don't worry, stores come up with every reason to have a sale, so before you can even take a deep breath there'll be another one. You'll get your most coveted books in time.

Hiya chiara,
Just by chance is how you often find something you want or need so bad. So if you have any Market Stalls there maybe they might have a Box full of Second Hand Books and you might find it in there or something like that say Charity Shops too. Do you have those there?
Hope you get your Book sounds very important to you.

Hi! Chiars, well i am sure there will be another book sale inthe future. You know, most of the stores in the malls today go on sale more often than before. I am sure you will find your most loved books on sale again. The good thing there is, you were able to control yourself from buying for your other priority. God girl.

I'm sure that you'll have enough to spare for a book or a dozen books the next time they have a sale! I'm also really sad when I have to use my money on something other than more books. Nothing really brings me more joy than reading... so naturally books are my favorite things to shop for! I only wish that every time I go shopping I can shop for books too.
