Books, books books!
I missed the Annual Sharjah Book Fair last month, and was pretty miffed about it. Couldn’t find time to travel all the way:(
But then, as luck would have it, the Big Bad Wolf sale came up, and divine justice, it’s set up just two minutes from my house! No way I was going to miss this chance.
So I trudged down there today, and it was worth every minute of the three-odd hours I spent there.
They have a lot of titles, mostly of books that sell well, so don’t keep your hopes up for the rare ones. The prices though, are fantastic, for the non-fiction books that I stocked up. About half the sale is devoted to children’s books, and they are a bit pricier, but there are many good deals that make it worth your while.
I left the fiction for another day, since I had already bought about 75 books, and I had to get back home else I wouldn’t be allowed in, that too with the big haul that I had in the car:)
Anyways, the book aficionado in me was satiated for now, but well, tomorrow is another day!
Visit at least once, and please please buy at least one book. And one for your child.
See you (there) tomorrow!
