@Ronnie, Birdsong can be easily located, yes? Hmm... made me curious to read this book. :))

[Alexa]

Ingrid: Yay thank you! As much as possible kasi I try not to buy textbooks (view spoiler)[I would say para makatipid, but then I buy fiction instead HAHA #priorities (hide spoiler)] And DEAN!! :"> hihi.

Yup, I saw it at Fully Booked Trinoma yesterday and most likely, their other branches carry it too. :)

[Maria]

Rollie, bigay ko sayo ung Shadow and Bone ko.

[Aldrin]

Exact edition, please. (TPB. Each should cost no more than P500. If it exceeds that price, it's not the right edition/size. :p)









Someone already gave this to me. :) So, in its stead…



Gracias! Feliz Navidad!

[Tricia]

Parang puro doorstopper :))

[Rollie]

Maria: nagulat ako! Haha. Thank you. Sige palitan ko nalang wishlist ko. Thanks ulit.

[Aaron Vincent]

uhm. doorstopper means 500+ pages. some of those barely reached 200 pages. :P

[Tricia]

@aaron: I didn't know their pages hehe "parang" nga e :)))) pero I get the impression they're doorstoppers because of 2666 :)))))

NAHACK ANG GR ACCOUNT MO NO?!

Kindly use a green gift wrapper for the book. That is if you plan on wrapping it. You may have other ideas, yes? :D - Kapag ikaw nabunot ko, pages ng FHM mag or ng men with ABS gagawin kong pangcover. Hahaha. :)

[Alexa]

LOL sobrang weird di talaga ako makaget-over =)) I can't shake off the feeling na sinadya to ni Patrick para matabunan yung ABS issue.

I think I'm at my best under pressure lol. I just edited my post ^

[[deleted user]]

Meeeeeee! :D

[Lynai]

TINA: Thanks for making a consideration for me regarding personal attendance. :D

To my mommy/daddy, okay lang that you deduct the price of shipping from the actual price of the book. OR, I can reimburse the shipping money para naman di masyadong magastos? :)

Yaay, looking forward to the "bunutan". :D

[Tricia]

Excited na ako malaman kung sino yung mabubunot ko :) para book shopping na!

[Alexa]
