I spent 70% of my pocket money buying books online since quarantine begun in March! đ
I kinda regret my decision in spending so much on books but whenever I look at their gorgeous spines on my bookshelves my remorse somehow turns into affections! đ
So in this post, I will show you all the books that I bought in the past 3 months! (Because they deserves to be admired by everyone else too hehe)
1. The Illuminae Files
I bought The Illuminae Files for a bargain price on Carousell! It costs me only RM63 (including postage!!) which I think is really cheap for a trilogy.
Even though they are secondhand books, their conditions are still acceptable. There are some cracks on the spines but they are not noticeable unless you look closely.
2. Britt-Marie Was Here
Price: RM23.60 including postage! I also bought this from carousell. I read A Man Called Ove a year ago, which was written by the same author, and I loved it so much that I just HAD to get this book as well!
3. Emily Series (Emily of New Moon, Emily's Quest)
Price: RM76! Unlike the other books in this list, these two are brand new that I bought from Bookurve! I've been dying trying to find this book everywhere..you have no idea how happy I felt when I found them on Bookurve! đ❤
4. Anne Series (Anne of Windy Willows, Anne's House of Dreams, Anne of Ingleside)
Total price: RM56.70 including postage! I have been searching for the rest of the books in the Anne of Green Gables series and I FINALLY FOUND THEM!!
You have no idea how glad I felt when I found these secondhand books on shopee đ And they look so pretty on my shelf!
5. Northanger Abbey
Price: RM8! I LOVE Jane Austen so of course I have to read and buy all of her books đ I read and loved Emma, Sense & Sensibility and Pride and Prejudice! I hope I will enjoy this book too! Ooh and I bought this book from Carousell!
6. Rilla of Ingleside
Price: RM24 including postage! I bought this from Carousell too! This is the last book in the Anne series hehe. Now I only need the 7th book - Rainbow Valleys and my Anne series will be complete!
Sooo... here's the moment that I have been dreading for....let's sum up the total money I spent. DRUM ROLLS PLEASEE
RM251.30!!
Yoooo what....that's almost RM300. This is my first time spending this much on books in a short period of time....... but nevermind....all the books I bought are worth every ringgit. (I mean 11 books for RM251.30? TAKE MY MONEY. OH AND TAKE MY WHOLE LIFE TOO!! HAHAH JOKING......unless.. )
Honestly I also wanted to buy The Lord of The Rings trilogy but I restrained myself and for the first time in my 18 years of life, I DECLARE a book buying ban on myself. Because I realized I need money to prepare for college lmfao *cries in broke*.
How about you? How much money did you spent on books during quarantine?
