All About Grooming & Encouraging Good Reading Habits

hi serendipity,


Advise you to look out for these books and try out first. I am a 'victim' of too many books in store and many of these we don't re-read. Unless you have multiple kids to pass down too, you may find storage space is limited for the other titles to be bought.

I second that. I'm also a victim of too much buying. And usually DS won't reread fiction books.

Hahah... thanks hquek and mummy of 2 for the words of advice. Will see if I can restrain myself...

hee hee, I'm a victim of my own making. :oops: Now I stick to buying books that can't be easily found in the library, or classics that I love, or books with very nice covers (very shallow, but it looks good). started on the Nicholas series becos exterior is like fabric, very pretty. Lucky the series is fantastic read - shallow does have its rewards. :faint:

Then you better avoid the bookfairs thread like mad.... I think I helped lead mummy of 2 onto the path of no return after all that recommendation on books. :nunchuk:

btw, sorry to say that, previous mph sales did include those usborne readers. I got many of them for like $2-3 only....grab like siao. I don't see these anymore at recent fairs.

Actually i used to love buying novels when i was in primary school. Then later realised I end up keeping them on the shelves to collect dust, hahah… So I stopped. But now with DD, it’s a different challenge to restrain myself!!

$2 to 3?! That’s a steal! Any more sales coming up? drool

Sorry to say you can wipe off the drool, the good days are gone...if got, I'll sure let you know. :gloomy: The last MPH sale was pretty good in terms of variety, but generally, they have increased the prices through differentiated pricing. :gloomy: :sad:

[Serendipity]

Hiyah... so sad... :sad:

No need to feel guilty. I have such inclination myself, otherwise you couldn't have tempted me
