Book Off, it’s been too long.
I have a very long memo in my phone. This memo is a list of books I want to read. Yesterday I was able to go to Book Off for the first time in a really long time and luckily, I found quite a few books on my list. The best part is that most of them were in the $1.00 area. Yay cheap stuff!
