Remember my post where I was so ecstatic when BBW announced that they are coming to Johor? Well, that was almost 5 months ago. This post is dedicated to show all of you my collective book haul; from May to October (including bbw haul!). Please be aware that you might have seizure or even hyperventilate when you see my hauls because money are being strewn like there is no end. There's this one quote that I preach in life;
"A reader can never have TOO MANY books" -Unknown
Lets get to the main purpose of this post. Grab some snacks because this is going to be a lengthy post. I am not writing this post to boast about my hauls. I just like to share about it with people because I love to see other people's bookhaul and who knows others are interested in mine.
MAY 2015
Early of May
There is this one app called carousell. For bookworms like me and probably you, finding good books with cheap prices in this app are like a jackpot. I SUGGEST YOU TO DOWNLOAD IT LIKE NOW! I bought 3 books from two carousellers. These are the books;

End of May
On the first day of BBW, I was so excited to go to Danga City Mall because there is where this event took place. To be honest, I cant even concentrate in the classroom. Silly me. There was actually an activity in school but I skipped it JUST FOR THE SAKE OF THE BIGGEST BADDEST BOOK EVENT, BIG BAD WOLF. I think books can make me from being a sane person to someone who is nuts. I think I need a psycholgist or go to rehab, perhaps. Cheap books are like LIFE. Book expos are heaven on earth *duhh . I did go there for like , one, two, three, THREE times and the pics that I'm going to show you are the books that I managed to pick up when I went there.
These are the books;
1) 5th Wave by Rick Yancey
2)To Rise Again At a Decent Hour by Joshua Ferris
3)Falling Kingdoms by Morgan Rhodes
4)Three Graves Full by Jamie Mason
5)Chain Reaction by Simon Elkeles
6)Belzhar by Meg Wolitzer
7)Spectacular Now by Tim Tharp
8)The Winner's Curse by Marie Rutkoski
9)The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald
10)Rebel Spring by Morgan Rhodes
11)To Rise Again At a Decent Hour by Joshua Ferris
12)Great Expectation by Charles Dickens
13)Cress by Merissa Meyer
The reason I have two copies of To Rise Again At a Decent Hour is because I accidentally, not on purpose, thought that those books were in a series. Well, I clearly wasnt reading the title because when you're in an area full of books, common sense just dissapear into thin air. Silly? Indeed, I was.

Early of June
I went to BBW and saw Mr.Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore but it wasnt in the edition that I wanted to buy. So, I went to debookroom.com (online bookshop) and bought the edition that I wanted which glows in the dark! Tested it and it worked.

The month where the Green Day guy decided to sleep for the whole month and I decided to splurge my money on books. Yeay me.
Early of September
1)Me and Earl and The Dying Girl by Jesse Andrews
I knew about this book long before it was being adapted to a movie. I've been wanting this edition since I first saw it. I have never liked the other covers. So, when I found this on carousell, I knew I cannot let go of this chance. RM25 and its totally worth it.
2)Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo
3)The Ask and The Answer
Bought these two from carousell for about RM20 including postage!
3)Seconds, a graphic novel by Bryan Lee O'Malley
First discovered this graphic novel in booktube through one of Reagan from PeruseProject videos. It was an awesome read. The graphics are amazeballs.
Mid of September
4)Horrorstor by Grady Hendrix
Discovered this book through booktube too! It's like some kind of ikea catalog parody. Themed Horror with a fuse of Zombies in it. How can a book with Zombies in Ikea-kind-of-warehouse can go wrong, right? or nah.
End of September
5) Angelfall (Book 1 in Penryn and The End of Days Trilogy) by Susan Ee
The Biggest Highlight for the Month of September is
