cheap spell

the afternoon was boring. without much thought i just suddenly decided to visit the mall and finally reserve the upcoming fourth Mortal Instrument book that will be available in April. that done, i decided to browse through the titles available on the shelves that i still do not have and would catch my fancy. true enough i finally found myself debating against myself if i truly wanted James Patterson's YA novel Witch and Wizard & its sequel, Gift. as always i was attracted by the cover. i couldn't decide since i've yet to finish the enormously funny leven thumps book 2. hmmmm, undecided i decided to stroll around the mall to ponder on things.

such a fortunate thing that was. as fate would have it, i chanced upon a local thrift bookshop and lo and behold there it was.


a hardbound copy of the very book i almost bought for 400 was available for the measly amount of 47.00. talk about cheap and its a hardbound copy still in its plastic cover. wow.

now, i did not even think twice but grabbed the pristine book, paid for it and left without a backward glance.

God, i love thrift bookshops.
