Fully booked bookstore1/17/2024 The site is easy to navigate and offers a seamless online shopping experience. They also have an online arm, and they ship within the Philippines. Their flagship store in Bonifacio Global City, Manila, is known for its cool lifestyle-oriented aesthetic similar to how BookXCess is like here in Malaysia. Same thing with sites like Kobo and Kindle (even the e-version! If you’re in a different country, it only allows you to read it in that country wtf).Īfter what felt like hours (and getting annoyed that we’re in 2020 and it isn’t even convenient to buy a fahking book to gift to someone overseas) I ended up at the website of Fully Booked, a books and stationery retailer in the Philippines. I first went to Amazon, but apparently it has a policy whereby books, music, video and DVD products can’t be shipped internationally (coz of copyright issues). But since my friend lives in the Philippines, I had to look for a store/retailer that could deliver there. Because without books and the magic of imagination and wonder, I would not be who I am today.Ĭourse, I think my mom regrets it immensely, now that the house is running out of space to store my books lol.Ī friend’s daughter had her birthday recently, and since she likes reading (a rare thing among kids these days, I think!), I thought of sending her a book. We weren’t rich, but they’d buy books for me whenever they had money to spare, so I had no shortage of Peter & Jane books and Enid Blyton novels. As a child, my parents encouraged me to read a lot, even though they aren’t readers themselves.
