Books Vending Machine

You read that right! Books in Malaysia will be as accessible as F&B! :) I was overjoyed when I first read the article published in The Star. This has been done in other countries some time ago like Germany and US.

MPH never fails bookaholics! I can't wait to see the vending machines in action! ^___^
Not only will be books be more accessible, it will be cheaper too!!!! How cool is that? ;)

Bumped into a blog on this! Bibliobibuli covered the awesome subject matter in 2005. Click here to
"flip" to the entry. In the meantime, I'm going to drool onto the vending machines around the world. Feel free to join me by clicking on the image below.

Times Bookstore Membership Renewal

Among many bookstores in Malaysia, Times Bookstore's members benefits are great. Best bit is 10% discount on book purchases.

Recently, I went to Plaza Damas to drop by the Times Bookstore Sale. If you refer to my last 2 post, it isn't as good. Might as well just go to the store and grab books there while the world book sale is still on.

I renewed my membership at RM15 for 2 years. Not to bad at all. Guess what? I got RM15 voucher to spend after the transaction! The renewal was FOC. *grinssss* I'm not too sure if the voucher is given everytime but I got it! Thanks Times! :)

I have til end of next month to spend. Then my birthday month will come. Another privilege to enjoy!

Teaser Tuesdays - 15/3/2011

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following: 

• Grab your current read
• Open to a random page
• Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
• BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
• Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

"I don't care if you don't care!!! And...and anyway, your music isn't even that good anyway!!"

p/s: I've don't quite remember reading a book without page numbers but this is one of it. The entire series do not have page numbers so a bookmark is very essential!

This is not the best Times has pulled up. I was disappointed. Very few new books. Better off going to the store on the upper level to enjoy World Book Day discount. For those who are looking for cooking books, you MAY find something here.

Booking Through Thursday - 10/3/2011

Do you multi-task when you read? Do other things like stirring things on the stove, brushing your teeth, watching television, knitting, walking, et cetera?

Or is it just me, and you sit and do nothing but focus on what you’re reading?

(Or, if you do both, why, when, and which do you prefer?)

My answer:
I multi-task! I walk. I sing to music. And these days, I read while driving(that is when Im stuck in traffic jam and the car is not moving!). Most of the time, I read while waiting for something and that something can be anything. hihihi I have even finished reading few chapters while chatting on the phone. ;)

Anyhow, nothing beats sitting down in a comfortable position in a comfortable chair with soothing instrumental music in the background! =) I definitely prefer THIS!
