I love reading. I read whenever I get a chance to do so. I read in whatever format: PDF, java format (yes, I have books on my mobile phone) and of course, the actual books.
I used to buy books on book fairs or book sales during college, but I started buying brand new books when I started working.
I love collecting books by author, title, or series. I also love collecting magazines. My collection is still a work in progress, as I still refuse to buy complete sets since it would kill the fun. But I hope I could complete something soon.
Here are some of my collections:
1. Diana books
Here are some of my collections:
1. Diana books
I am a big fan of Princess Diana, and I love collecting her biographies. So far, I have the following books:
- Diana: Her True Story by Andrew Morton
- The Diana Chronicles by Tina Brown
- Love from Diana by Michael Joseph
I have read most of Nick Sparks' books on PDF, but I have the following:
- The Rescue
- At First Sight
3. Pugad Baboy
I love Pugad Baboy! I usually get a bit crazy whenever there's a Pugad Baboy edition missing on my shelf. I have the following:
- Pugad Baboy 7, 8, 19, 21, 22, 23
4. Shopaholic series by Sophie Kinsella
I have seen a complete set but I wanted to buy individually. I have the first two books: Confessions of a Shopaholic and Shopaholic Takes Manhattan (bought recently). I still have 4 more to collect!
5. Bob Ong books
I have read everything (by borrowing from a dear friend) except for the last two books. So far I only have ABNKKBSNPLAKo?!
I love Kris Aquino! I'm not sure if I have bought all the issues but I still don't have the very first one. If you know where to find the first issue of K Mag, please let me know. And oh, I have an issue signed by James Yap.
I also collect other books by different authors and I also buy OK magazine every month (I'm still thinking if I will get a subscription for OK).
Wish me luck on my attempt! :)
Love your book collection! :) I have tons of books too, and a large pile of those I haven't read yet.. >.< Eek! I used to buy books in bulk back in high school, and I never found the time to read everything.
ReplyDeletewow, nasurprise naman ako you collect K Mag :) And that issue signed by James Yap could pass as a collector's item in my opinion hehe. Like you, I enjoy going to booksale since it's cheaper there but until now there are still books that I bought that I haven't started or finished reading boo! Pero when I started working, I also started to buy brand new books na din. My current buy is the Si Amapola sa 65 Kabanata by Ricky Lee which I haven't started reading yet. And I'm still searching also for Bob Ong's latest book. Not fan of book series though pero I think what's nice about book series is you have something to look forward to...nice collection you have here :) More to come
ReplyDeleteHi Sumi! Thanks! I read everything I buy, but now I have two books I haven't read yet: Angelology and Shopaholic Takes Manhattan. :) You should take some time and read your books. Sayang eh. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Madie! I should have posted a picture of that issue. I will post one very soon. :) My latest buy is Shopaholic Takes Manhattan, bought last Sunday. :) I'm planning to collect Bob Ong books next year. :)

ReplyDeleteHi tatess! Pugad Baboy is one of my favorite collections. I buy my mom cook books and I think she loves it because she tries to experiment every now and then.
