Recently I received a book as a birthday gift, and I started reading it immediately although I have many unfinished books at the same time. The title of the book is catchy and interesting, so I started right away. It’s a book by Leil Lowndes called How To Talk To Anyone, 92 Little Tricks for [...]

Just a quick note to share that Popular Bookstore is having a Popular Book Fair since 16 March until 28 March 2010 at Ground Floor of Ikano Power Centre. You won’t miss it as it’s right next to the travellator.

Just wondering if anyone out there has read this book by Dale Carnegie: How to Develop Self-Confidence And Influence People By Public Speaking? I’m considering getting this book as I think I need to be more skillful in this area. So if anyone has read this book or any other suggested titles for people who [...]
For the past few months I’ve been browsing around for good sales books. I definitely found many, and it was quite amusing that each author of these sales books were labelled as THE best salesperson there ever was. I suppose they need to say that about themselves, otherwise how will they sell their books, right?
So [...]

I started using a binded organiser when I was a secondary student. It wasn’t quite necessary at that point in my life, it was just something that I saw when I was on one of my travels and I just wanted it. When you’re a student, impulsive shopping happens a lot! Anyway, back then it [...]
Following my recent and first online garage sale selling my pre-loved items, here’s another follow up on that. This round of the sale will be on used books. Some are in excellent condition as only a few pages have been turned, some never even read and some which are well read. Depending on the condition [...]
I have 2 questions for you. What is the one purchase you’ve made so far that has lasted you for a very long time? Also, what do you consider to be your most valued and worthy buy so far?
For me, my most lasting purchase has to be a pair of jeans. Some 8 years ago [...]
One of the books that I picked up cheaply from the Big Bad Wolf Books warehouse sale some 3 months back is Secrets of the Millionaire Mind: Think Rich to Get Rich! I was not into these kind of books thinking that it’s only going to tell me what I already know.
In a way, it [...]
During the Big Bad Wolf Books warehouse sales some 2 months back, I stumbled upon some books that had very captivating covers (I’m a big time sucker for appealing book covers, never mind the content first!). One of them that particularly caught my eye is called Japanese Women Don’t Get Old or Fat, written by [...]
About 9 months ago I received a mail from Reader’s Digest about their new book called Extraordinary Uses for Ordinary Things: 2,317 Ways to Save Money and Time. This book has great tips about the many uses of household items that we probably never knew about. Imagine how exciting it must be to learn some of these new tips!
Okay, [...]

I was quite surprised that the warehouse sales are now starting to move to Klang. Some of the interesting ones that I am interested in are the Toys R Us and Times Bookstore warehouse sales.
I am interested [...]

If there’s one warehouse sale that I can declare as The Best Warehouse Sale Of The Year, I would have to give it to Big Bad Wolf Books. Yesterday was the first day of the sale and it will be on till next Monday, 18 May. Why is it the best warehouse sale? Because the [...]
For a new mother celebrating her first Mother’s Day, it must be very exciting. I’ve had a taste of that recently and I must admit it was a great feeling to be celebrated as a mother. It’s a nice change to finally know what it is like to be a mother and to love so [...]
