@bennard oo meron! Daming nainis sa essay na yun (based on reviews here sa goodreads)
Tricia, na-curious ako sa Kav and Clay because of you. hehe.Sa akong future mommy/daddy (na-weirduhan bigla sa statement, but what the heck, yun talaga eh) I do not mind used books, I like smelling them. If it's beyond the price range, I'll shoulder the excess...love, future baby Ranee
Ako rin, I don't mind used books, pero kung used books ang ibibigay sana katumbas nung minimum value. Baka naman kasi naghalungkat talaga ng Php10.00 sa Book Sale, diba? (Pero kung 30 na tig Php10.00 at nasa wishlist lahat, super cool nun!)I also don't mind paying for the excess, pero ang awkweird lang nun. Kaya nga gift, diba ulit? (So that means kung sumobra man yung bibilhin ko for my baby, hindi ako maniningil).
Excited na akong magbunutan!
nakita ko yung presyo ng ibang books ko sa wishlist, beyond the price range, kapag iyun ang napiling ibigay sa akin, baka na-pressure lalo pa't estudyante lang ang kunwaring nakabunot sa akin. Pero kung si JL kunwaring nakabunot sa akin, dahil may trabaho na sya ngayon, ok lang siguro na di ibalik ang excess... hehe!
Actually, parang majority nag-exceed sila, hehe. I'm guilty of it, pero below 600 naman, so konti (?) lang yung aabonohin. At manalig tayo na magkakaroon ng Christmas sale sa mga book stores!
speaking of sales, NBS warehouse sale sa Quezon ave branch, the one in crossings. 80% off. Nov.15-18
Wishlist ko ngayong Disyembre. 1. State of Wonder by Anne Patchett
2. Train Dreams by Denis Johnson
3. The Pale King: an unfinished novel by David Foster Wallace
4. The Orphan Master's Son by Adam Johnson
5. Eon: Dragoneye Reborn by Alison Goodman (Yung babae lang sana yung cover, ayaw ko nung may malaking bilog.)
6. Our Lady of the Flowers by Jane Genett
7. Columbine by Dave Cullen

Reminder: (Haha, nakabold talaga) Huwag niyo lang akong bigyan ng mass market paperback. Please.
Kwesi, kapag nabunot kita bibigyan kita ng Mass Market Paperback. Wuahahahaha.
Alona, kung nabunot kita, sasabunutan kita. Haha. Joke lang. Sayang, yung UK pa sana bigay ko sayo kung ikaw ang mabubunot ko.

Hi everyone, please count me in. Thanks!
List updated! :)About exceeding the amount: personally, I won't mind if the amount exceeds a little bit on the Php 300 - Php 500 price range. Normally kasi yung kris kringle baby ko ang mas mahal ang gift. Pero ako lang yun ha. Kaya rin may list tayo, so the mommy/daddy can figure the gift in their budget. :)
Also, we have to keep in mind that on top of this exchange gift, we will also have a contribution for the food sa Christmas party...so that's something to think about when making your list. :)
Mommy/Daddy/Santa,HIIIIII.
Here's my wish list!
Paper Towns by John Green (view spoiler)
Dune by Frank Herbert (view spoiler)
Ariel by Sylvia Plath (view spoiler)

Kung gusto mo ng bigating gift.. (view spoiler)
I'm not against mass market paperbacks but if you can give me some trade ones, that would be nice :)
Thank you so so much :D
Also, if you got to read everything in the spoiler tags...
(view spoiler)
Advanced Merry Christmas!! ^___^
PS: Of course, I wouldn't mind if it's secondhand, basta it's still in a comfortable reading condition. And sana wala masyadong creases sa spine. And if you can find a cover without a real person on it (like an edition of Paper Towns), that will be fabulous. Also, I'll pay for the extra if you did manage to find one of them and it goes beyond the budget. Heeeee. Thank you again!
PPS: Don't feel pressured at all kasi it's really, really easy to make me happy! :D Mababaw lang talaga kaligayahan ko :))
PPPS: Don't panic if you see me suddenly reading Les Miserables. It just means I'm reading the ebook version (huhu), and I'm planning to start early because it is so long and the movie will be out January :))
My wishlist:Nine Coaches Waiting by Mary Stewart (purple cover)
Every Day by David Levithan
A Tale of Time City by Diana Wynne Jones (the edition that was released this year)
The Final Empire by Brandon Sanderson (white cover)
