13th Philippine Academic Book Fair

Dear Me,

I love to read.

I love to hoard books penned by my selected favorite authors. I love to collect tomes in series.

Even though my bookshelves are full and my pile of TBR is scattered everywhere in the house, creating a molehill and growing as tall as Mt. Everest, I still cannot restrain myself from shopping for more books. The temptation as well as the impulse is too overwhelming to ignore.

I frequent bookstores near and far. I explore different places and check the cities for their local book shops. I am just too exhilarated leaving these paradises with bags-full of soon-to-be-read books.

The matter of shopping certain books getting real heavy for my pocket has become a concern and so I discovered book sales, book swapping and book fairs. I even appreciate a hard time spent scouring good quality books in a cramped warehouse.

The seduction of books being readily available is too hard to resist and that's the other reason why I love book fairs.

Despite all that, nothing can ever hinder me from succumbing into a book-buying galore.
