Sometime last October, there was a sale called Big Bad — okay I just misspelled that as Bald… eheh ^^; — Wolf Book Sale; everybody in KL knew about it (and probably went as well, by the looks of it). My family and I went on the last day, so there wasn’t much of a variety left (no art or craft books 
), but we still came back with these:
They were each RM8 (~US$2.58), which is excellente. Most books at the bookstore, even paperbacks, are like RM30-40+.
Since we were focusing on fiction anyway, I purposely picked out books that looked “exotic”. That is to say, they weren’t about American or British lifestyles, with lead female characters in dilemmas about their marriage / love life / credit card debt / insert-other-petty-life-matter-here. I hoped that a change of setting in the stories would present us with more mind-opening and enlightening issues, rather than just as a source of entertainment and drama. (I never really saw the point of chick lit anyway… 
)
I’m just gonna post little summaries of the ones I’ve read below, inshaAllah. (How I wish I could write proper reviews with quotes and this and that, but … no. 
)
