story books

yesterday, we went to nbs to buy manila paper for shobe and of course, i can't leave the store without checking out the books. hehe. anyway, i wasn't able to buy any books for me, also, i was saving my purchases for the book fair next month.
anyway, shobe was in the children's books corner looking and when i approached her to ask if there's any she likes, she showed me some but i told her it's quite expensive. so, we browsed around then, that's when she said that she needs to buy book for their book review. father got impatient 'coz he said we've been in the store for an hour already looking for a book. it's really hard to find one since according to her, her old books (the ones i bought for her just last year) were for kids already. argh! she's 11 and in grade 6 so, i don't really know which type of books to give her. my other sister asked the sales lady for elementary books used for book reviews, and we were in the right shelves. but it's so hard to choose. 2nd sis and i browsed around and found some but shobe didn't liked any, she wanted the book that was a little thick and had only words in it. we told her to choose another 'coz she's not really a reader and we know she won't read that book. hehe. anyway, after so much deliberation (having more than one sister plus parents makes choices wider and choosing harder, hehe) plus the fact that shobe was in her bad behavior of her "i want this, i don't want that", below are the books we bought. thinner, larger font and had drawings. phew!


me and 2nd sis chose this and told shobe she has to read this and i'll buy her the book she wanted (a little princess)

i think i was the one who chose this 'coz i wanted to read it. hehe..

3rd sis wanted to read this, so do i, and shobe.. hehe

being addicted to books, of course, i had to read them today. haha. and i did. finished all 3 books earlier and i was disappointed with the prince and the pauper. i felt that dr.jekyll and mr.hyde's ending was "bitin" and i knew from the start that they're one and the same person, just read the book for the whole story. then, i liked dracula most among the three 'coz i don't really know his story aside from him being a vampire. hehe.

so, i'm now off to finish my book. am done with the story books, but honestly, i've got a list of the other titles i'll be buying next time. haha. :)
