Hi pokemon,


Can I know more about the bookstore you mentioned that sold hard to find books at Thomson plaza, what are some of their titles?:) Also for the second hand bookstore at Thomson, is their head office at Bras basah also selling books? or is the Thomson one the only branch?

Actually the 'stores' i mentioned are not a real shops but aka makeshift stores at the open space on the grdfloor of thomson plaza. They are only there for a short period of time but will often make a comeback. According to the person incharge, she told me their office is at bras basah, also selling books. Last sunday was their last day, they often move around to other malls. They really have alot of titles on sale, i think books for all ages plenty of cooking books, dan brown books, sydney sheldon, bible stories, children non-fiction information hardcover books....aiyah v wide range i cant possibly list all. :frustrated:

Hi Michteach,


Yes! Both Freedom writers and The Blind Side are based on movies!!
Both movies have been really inspiring to me and especially for Freedom Writers, I have yet to see the book on the racks, have been searching high and low for this book. Let me know if they have these books!

They have the entire collection of Percy Jackson?! Wow great! Anyway, do they bring in any imported books? The racks of Popular are really getting a little boring and common while the books in kino are really expensive. =(

Thanks so much for the contact! Do they have a mailing list or a book list where I can more conveniently search for book titles?

Hi MelodyXOXO,


I am not sure about the full range, I have not heard of Freedom writers or the Blind Side, are they books based on the shows? Anyway, I will pm you their contacts so you can find out more.

They have Percy Jackson.Their vocab phrases are free, comes with the book. They provide a file for phrases too..

Wow that's interesting to hear.. I remember extracting vocab words whenever i read when i was younger and copying it into a book where i would write all the meaning of the words from the dictionary.

By the way, do you know if they carry the series \"Diary of a whimpy kid\"?

Hi melodyXOXO,


They have a booklist, you can ask them for it. They bring in books that are not commonly found - books like Conspiracy 365 - a book where a young boy has to hunt down his father’s killers before they hunt him down.

They also bring in Gone - everyone above the age of 14 disappears one day and the children and teens have to figure out and also how to survive, that book is really interesting.

They have quite a wide range. You can also go down to their shop to browse the books. I am not too sure of address, as they normally come to my school to sell the books. I can find out and pm you.
