        I did… nothing exciting if you had been the one 2 weeks ago.

        The usual chapter books… michael morpurgo, charlie small, magic tree house, A-Z…etc. The selection for picture books is extremely miserable.
        And no Q at the cashier.

                  Was there last night. Yes, selection seem to be the same as last time. Saw a lot more single titles of Charlie Small, a small box full of Mr Men/Little Miss books (nope, didn’t browse). Managed to come away with a few titles after some thought.


                  Very very few small children (ie with lotsa pictures) books, more of intermediate/advanced readers. Series as ilovechubby mentioned, also got dianne wynne jones books (Howl’s moving castle author).

                  Thing is, I had stuff from the $5 range of kiddy books and some $5 (mass paperback) - they count towards the group (ie 5 books of $5 will be discounted to $20). So can consider mix and matching.

                  No queue at the cashier’s. I still think the pricing is a bit confusing. Some stuff they consider trade paperback ie $7. Best to ask the staff before committing.

                  Am still wondering if I should have bought a michael morpugo’s book - the cover is different from others and it says ‘unedited copy for proofing, not for sale’. Am sucker for these sort of things. kekekeke

                    Hello, anybody knows if there are any upcoming book sales this year end? Was thinking of stocking up stationaries for school opening as well.
