Discounts at Times Bookshop

Note: Received this tip-off from Angel's blog.

If you're a voracious reader like I am, you'll be glad to know (if you don't know already!) that you can get a 10% discount at Times Bookstores in Malaysia with your Jusco card. If that isn't an excuse to go out and buy one more book, I don't know what it is! *grin*

A penny saved...

... is a penny earned.

My shopping kaki Giddy Tiger wants to know the bestest bargain I ever got for RM10. That's pretty hard for me to do, seeing as how most of my stuff costs more than that. LOL! But, fear not, I have some things that are cheap and good, so I shall oblige.

My personal pick is something that gives me great enjoyment for a long period of time. I picked up this book from Borders' bargain books section and fell in love with it straightaway because I had tried to write something similar when I was younger. And, at exactly RM10, it fits the bill perfectly for this tag. Hehehe.

Name something you have bought that was worth every penny you spent, and add it to the list below. Feel free to spice it up with a photo or two. The catch is that the amount must not exceed 10 units in whatever currency you are using.
e.g. If you shop in Malaysia, list down something good you’ve bought for RM10 or less. If you shop in US, list down something you’ve purchased for RM10 or less.

1. Gorgeous ethnic earrings from Beadszone (3 pairs for RM10) - Kaki Shopping
2. Time Stops For No Mouse (book) from Borders @ RM10 - Rinnah's Marketplace

Now, who else is a shopping kaki who would indulge me this meme? I pick...

Little Miss May

Brides of Prairie Gold by Maggie Osbourne

It figures that the first thing being hawked for sale here is a romance novel. LOL! Yeah, I have shelves of books to clear out to make room for more! I picked up this book on a whim a couple of years back at the MPH warehouse sales and am selling it as my bookshelves are simply bursting! As it's a secondhand book (me first-hand mah), the condition is not as perfect as my other books, but it still sports an uncreased spine and pages free of marks or dog-ears. p.s. Although secondhand, looks way better than the books in Pay Less Books (just that pages are going slightly yellow. Sorry!).

This book could be classified as historical romance - think Little House on the Prairie grown up - and recounts the adventures of twelve women (mail-order brides, so to speak) discovering who they really are as they journey across America in a "bride train" to meet their future husbands in Oregon. Life on wagon wheels, encounters with bandits and Indians, fording streams, yup all the necessary ingredients for a traditional prairie book are here. Not forgetting the compulsory hero(s) and unconventional heroine(s). *wink* There are 12 women after all... ... ...

So this is the synopsis on the back of the book...

The twelve women from Chastity, Missouri, meant trouble for wagon master Cody Snow. He was used to transporting guns and whiskey, not mail-order brides. Then he looked into the beautiful, defiant eyes of Perrin Waverly, a woman who had a past as painful as his own, and discovered an even bigger problem - his own desire. Now when he yelled "Wagons ho!" he set into motion a perilous odyssey for these spinsters and widows, a seventeen-year-old innocent, a Missouri belle, and the wagon train's handsome half-breed scout. All of them had reasons for heading west; all had secrets. Now all would discover that the greatest dangers lay within the heart, and at journey's end, a few just might find love...
