Myra here.

Every Sunday, we share the books that managed to find their way into our shelves. This week, I am sharing my loot from a recent book sale here in Singapore (yes, lots of book sales here).

BookStreet Book Haul

Several weeks back, the National Book Development Council of Singapore organized a Book Carnival / Book Street from 8-10 September at the Singapore Management University Underground Concourse (connected to Bras Basah MRT station).

Since the organizers of this event are wonderful friends of mine, naturally I came and provided support not just once but twice. It was so worth it as could be seen in my book haul.

Books 1 to 4 of Amulet by Kazu Kabuishi: The Stonekeeper, The Stonekeepere’s Curse, The Cloud Searchers, The Last Council.

My daughter insisted on purchasing the book on the left: People In Vogue: A Century Of Portraits edited by Robin Derrick and Robin Muir, A Walk In The Woods by Bill Bryson.

Manhood For Amateurs by Michael Chabon, The Three Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas.

Nurse Matilda by Christianna Brand and illustrated by Edward Ardizzone, Nurse Matilda Goes To Town by Christianna Brand and illustrated by Edward Ardizzone, Nurse Matilda Goes To Hospital by Christianna Brand and illustrated by Edward Ardizzone.

Where The Mountain Meets The Moon by Grace Lin, Marcelo In The Real World by Francisco X. Stork, Firegirl by Tony Abbott.

Tinkers by Paul Harding, The Gay Science by Friedrich Nietzsche.

Pansing Titles

Rabbit and Bear by Julian Gough and Jim Field, Rabbit and Bear: The Pest In The Nest by Julian Gough and Jim Field.

How about you, fellow bibliophiles? What books found their way into your hands over the past weeks? Any recent book purchases?
