Guess those of you who is a long time fan
readers of this blog will know December is the month where Mamarazzi and me
will go CRAZY. Yup…totally crazy coz it is the month where the LARGEST book
sale with REAL discounts will be held in Kuala Lumpur.
We have been anticipating and
looking forward to this sale since last year’s BBW ended. Yea…that’s how CRAZY
we are about BBW.
Then suddenly mid last month BBW "announce" that there will be no more super low price and various perks. Being a long time fan of BBW, we suspected that it was a prank. But some doesn't feel it that way. There were some rather unpleasant remarks made. Glad everything turns out fine after that.

This is the only sale where Mamarazzi can borong as many books as she wanted without breaking my piggy bank. Thank you very much to the BBW for bringing in books at an affordable price.
Over the last two years, Mamarazzi can see others bookstore are also conducting sale similar to BBW's. Guess this is due to the influence of BBW who wanted to get more Malaysian to read. It's not that we don't read, but the price of books sometimes is just too pricey. This makes Mamarazzi wonder ...would they ever going to lower their price in not because of BBW?
Some says lowering books price is bad for the market and affects the earning of the authors. But think again. The books that is sold in BBW are remainder books If the books not bought by BBW and sold to us, it would go to waste also. By selling these book at such a low price, readers like Mamarazzi gets to try out books from various authors . It's a good exposure for authors too. If readers love the works of the author, they might go and buy their new release at full price.
Same as previous year, this
year BBW will be held at MIECC, The Mines. Yup! The sale will start at 7a.m.
sharp on 4th December and only close at 14th December
2015. But Mamarazzi is guessing the crowd will demand for the sale to be
extended for a few more days. 10 days sale is definitely not enough. Many will come from all over Malaysia for this sale.
Mamarazzi have been eyeing their
facebook for updates on this year's choice of books and making a list on what to grab at the coming Big Bad Wolf Sale.
This is one of the thing that she wants to grab
You should follow them in facebook and stand a chance to win
a Preview Pass. This preview pass let’s you get into the sale a day early. Less
crowds and you can browse leisurely. 100% worth it I tell you.
How to get the Preview Pass? Okay la…Mamarazzi won’t be
kedekut with the experience la. Most important is SHARE SHARE SHARE! Share
whatever announcement or updates that BBW shared in their Facebook. Make sure the
setting of your Facebook status is set at PUBLIC ya. The more you SHARE out…the
higher chance you will catch The WOLF’s eye and get a preview pass. That was
how we got our Preview Pass for this coming 2015 BBWS. Mamarazzi have been
sharing BBW status like mad in her Facebook.
Yay! We are so looking forward to 3rd December
Preview Day. So looking forward to my BBW gang. Hopefully can meet up with
everyone there. Kor Kor Jon …I hope you won’t have to naik sampan come to BBW
this year. So sad that you gotta miss the sale in 2013 due to FLOOD. Bad FLOOD. Every year end causes trouble. Shoo shoo! Go
away FLOOD! Don’t come and kacau us on 3rd of December to 14th
of December 2015. Come El Nino! Blow away the heavy rain
that causes Flood. .
Oh ya….This year theme is the 60s. …Hmmm…..i wonder if we
dress up to the 60s style….whole The Wolf give us Preview Pass for year 2016
BBW or not….hehehehe….***super hint hint and wink wink….***
Maybe I should book my air tickets, go over at that same time. My girl would love going....but how to bring back if she buys a whole lot? Sighhhhh!!!!!
ReplyDeletecome with an empty suitcase. No need stay hotel . BBW opens 24 hours. Inside there got food court and toilet. muhahahaha

ReplyDeleteYear end sales but not as big as BBW! Sigh. Wonder when are they coming to Kuching...
hahaha haven't plan yet.i wonder whether they have contest or not.
DeleteGood sharing, so now we know when is the next BBW sales in The Mines, as always, every year, yes? As usual, gotta be there early and know the strategy lor.. Have in mind what books to buy, and bring a trolley !! Haha..
ReplyDeletepandai....eve you who have never been to a BBW knows the ropes now. AHem...so this year going?
DeleteBook sales are so much fun! :)
ReplyDeleteyup...sure are...especially BBW
Deletehehe of course we all know Mamarazzi is "wolf" about the Big Bad Wolf Sales lah.. surely this is one of the most important yearly event that Mamarazzi is looking forward to every year end.. just like all shopaholics look forward to Mega Sales like that..
ReplyDeletep/s: err, now still got Mega Sales ah?? Uncle SK rarely goes shopping now, and he thot nowadays, there are sales all year round in the malls..
ya lor....been looking forward to it whole year
Deletehehe sure the BBWS marketing team is doing great job for all the suspense and gimmicks and themes and whatnot, kudos!! that keep the enthusiasm in all book lovers and BBWS fans burning and burning!! so Mamarazzi has been eyeing on some items already huh??
ReplyDeletep/s: the Smurfs thing looks nice!! Uncle SK also wants to get one too!!!
yes...already making a list...smurfs...okie...will KIV for you. Berapa copies nak if found?
Deletebut no harm to sell the books at dirt cheap price like BBWS, it's actually promoting a books buying (and reading) culture lah.. if they can afford to sell at that price then why not?? it is good news to the consumers, considering our withering economy and plunging currency values.. and of course, it's only once a year they do that, definitely welcome by the grassroots like us, agree?? :)
ReplyDeleteBut not everyone thinks like that.
DeleteUncle SK is sure Mamarazzi the VVIP of BBWS has already got her preview pass for 3rd December la.. already starting to countdown and planning the strategy to grab books huh?? hehe.. wishing Mamarazzi could borong as many books as she plans to have!!! :)
