Bookshops!
Popular Bookstore has opened in 1Utama Shopping Centre! In the old wing, above Marks & Spencers. I don't know whether to rejoice, or feel chagrined...
Bookshops are my especial weakness; I almost never walk out of a bookshop without buying anything. Arrgh must resist must resist must resist... talk about poor self-control!
Yesterday I was in aforesaid new Popular Bookstore and bought five books out of the six in Paul Taggart's series, Art Techniques from Pencil to Paint. Yes, I'm interested in art, and although I haven't touched paintbrushes since I was 16 I hope to take up art again. Goodness knows whether I'll actually do it, but the INTENTION is there. Ha.
Oh, and Big Bookshop has opened in Atria Shopping Centre, Damansara Jaya -- taking over the old Popular Bookstore, which has now moved to Ikano Power Centre. Again, I'm not sure whether to laugh or to cry. I think I'll laugh, but my wallet is crying... :D
There is also a PayLess Books in Atria -- and PayLess often has the most incredible bargains -- so I predict that shopping centre is going to be one of my new favourite places to be. Oh dear. Somebody stop me!!!
