I'm a believer of BOOKSALE. The brand new books I own are mostly given by friends. On Christmas I always put a particular book on my wish list.

My husband was torn between watching a Tagalog movie with me, which by the way doesn't elicit much of his interest and watching a plot he always prefers like Iron Man. He'd been watching the Iron Man cartoon way back.
