Jie Jie Nylusmilk told Mamarazzi about this Subang Jaya Book Exchange Programme(SJBEP) quite sometime ago but we never really got to go there till last weekend.
SJBEP have this book exchange thingy every 1st and 3rd Sunday of the month.
No familiar with the area...pusing punya pusing found this ...Yay! it looks like the photo on their Facebook.
This is the place. There ! There!
Uiks!...door not open yet leh.
Hey! something is happening....door opened.
Got a sign....
Jeng! Jeng! Jeng! here are the books that Mamarazzi got for us from the exchange.
No...no need to pay money one. Just go and take..
Ahemm ahemm...not actually "take" la. What we have to do is bring a book and "exchange" it with the books there.
Mamarazzi saw a lot of interesting books there.
Kiasu mode...shhh....she brought four books to there but she brought home six books. Nevermind la...next round she top up lo.
Anyway, the people there are so friendly and neighbourly. Mamarazzi saw the organiser brought tidbits, coffee and soya milk for us to ngap. So nice. Made Mamarazzi paiseh a bit coz went there with "two bunch of banana" only (means empty handed)
Here are the books she managed to pick up.
Gosh! what a gem! Pearl S Buck book!! It's a treasure!
Not much of kids book but Auntie Fay found me some. I took home one Mr Fox and The Stork book.
Looking forward to the next books exchange session. Mamarazzi already finished 3 books. Two more to go.
Come, come to Sibu. I'm also very nice. Will give you a lot more than that to eat... LOL!!!
ReplyDeleteCan Ipoh has one too? Any organizer in my area? I got lots too.. ahemmmm..
ReplyDeletewow..so many books leh, i can imagine your books collection at home! dah sampai satu almari penuh tak :P
ReplyDeleteFor me, it's take ages for me to read a book...
ReplyDeleteOh ya, wanna add in facebook?
ReplyDeleteWho started this idea? I think it is so cool,exchange,read on,exchange and read on again,, I am sure we can find many titles if we keep exchanging,, and books ain't no cheap,keep buying new ones, cannot tahan juga,,,,,,,,
ReplyDeleteyou have a great weekend ya, small kuching
sounds pretty interesting especially finding a gem!!
ReplyDeletehey, this is good.. a book for a book exchange.. maybe i shall be doing that with those books i've read.. but they are still with my friends who borrowed but have no time to even flip a page~~ :D
ReplyDeleteSo i am wondering...do we get back our books? or once exchanged...it is an ongoing cycle already...
ReplyDeleteOh, I actually thought I can easily find it at Subang Jaya, now it seems quite difficult to find the place also.
ReplyDeleteWah,it's certainly great to meet more buddy book lovers,you hv got quite a loot too!

Small Kucing, unfortunately all my Quay Lo's books are for adults if not, I can pass them all to your mamarazi. I am so happy that you love to read because you will gain lots of knowledge from reading. Very soon, Quay Po aunty will have to seek advice from you hehe... Oh your mamarazi so clever, she found this place. Me living so nearby also don't know have such a place lah! Please thank your mamarazi for telling us:D
