I really wanted to find this book by Michael Stein so I spent hours in bookstores just to search for it. Well, actually, on the second bookstore lang, as they claimed to not have a database of all their books...

While I was on the first bookstore, (the famous one) I saw this paperback copy of Memoirs of a Geisha... I checked the price and it was sold for P499.00! I bought my copy from a book sale and it was hard bound, only for P49.00! I seriously, silently, promised myself not to buy books from that bookstore again... (except of course Michael Stein's if they ever get a copy!) Not that I have incorporated a resentment against them, but just, if I can get a book 90% off of it, then why buy the pricey-paperback one, right? It has the same content anyway, I'm sure. 

So, I headed to the other bookstore at that mall, and in lieu of the book I was originally looking for, I (once again) bought Danielle Steele books which my mom adores, and some books I wanted to read. This book store is on sale almost everyday, and they have a wide selection for a tiny space, but they really have no record of all their books! I wanted to volunteer to do it only if I'm certain I'm to find In the Age of Love I was desperately searching for!

These three books are my latest finds, Memoirs is just for show-off:

F.Y.I. the books with no check marks beside it on my Reading List have been tsundoku-ed. ^_^
