Here's to all the book lovers out there! National Bookstore recently had their Book Binge Bazaar for this year last November 21-25, 2018 at the SM City Cebu Trade Center.
My friends and I went there on the last day due to our busy schedule in school but it was worth it. There wasn't a lot of people on the last day so we were able to roam around comfortably, unlike when we went on the Big Bad Wolf event. Both events were great but I was able to buy more books from NBS Book Binge Bazaar. Price ranges from as low as 10 pesos ($0.19) to 275 pesos ($5.25) only, nothing more. It's a great deal!
So went there around noon and I immediately saw piles of books with a big paper for the prizes. If you are a broke student like us, you know where we immediately went to. Any guesses? Of course, we immediately went to books with a price tag of 75 pesos ($1.43) and below. Books on that area were quite difficult to find because there isn't much staff around to assist. It wasn't neatly piled unlike those books ranging from 175~275 pesos. But hey, it was a sale so we didn't really mind. What we did was we really look into each and every book there is until the bottom because as I said, it wasn't sorted well and organized. The staffs there were really nice and friendly and they would often suggest books from their side that you might actually like.
We then went to the Children's book area and I can say that you can find the gems here. I was thinking of giving something to my younger sisters and I was able to find a lot of good activity books for them. Most of the books in this area were activity books for both children and young adults, crosswords, storybooks, and a lot more. This is where I was able to buy 7 activity books for me and my sisters only for 200 pesos ($3.82)! Wow, I am still amazed actually. After hours of picking and deciding, we bought the books. Time indeed flies when you're having fun.
If you are patient enough to go through every books just to find something good at a good price then maybe you can go there next year, hopefully! Make sure to bring a lot of patience with you and of course, a friend so that you won't be having a hard time deciding which book to pick. Trust me, they'll help. Kudos to all the staff. Hopefully, they'll do this again next year.
See you!
