Bookworm story: bookstore review
Today was so cold, as it was raining in the
morning.
If you know me well, then you already knew that I was
a bookworm.
Yes. I inherited reading as hobby from my parents.
Not only reading, I really love collecting book. Sorry not sorry, I owned more
than 150 copies of book at my bed room. Wkwkwk
For the last 5 years, I mostly bough books in
English. I didn’t remember when last time I bought an Indonesian book, beside
comics of course. Hehehe
Mostly I shopped online, as it was more convenient
but pricey as well. The shipping fees was expensive! Damn
So, I want to share with you all how I bought my
book and where to looking for.
My favourite, ever bookstore! I am a member of
Periplus Elite Card btw, with some advantages. Hehehehe (there was a time I bought
a copy of Harry Potter and The Cursed Child for IDR 350k meanwhile my friend
bought it for more than IDR 400k wkwkwk just because I showed them my member
barcode).
Periplus is not only a bookstore, they have online
kiosk as well! If I couldn’t find the book I want at the bookstore, I’ll search
it on their website.
Why do I like periplus? Simply because their
friendly and helpful service. And their price was quite affordable. I often
compared their price with another store and yet I found periplus was the
cheapest and their collection was quite complete.
And now the hottest promo from periplus was free shipping
without minimum purchase within Java area! Shit *cries*
I only bought a novel from Book and Beyond (BB)
once. It was when I visited Lippo Mall Jogja after met my thesis lecture. BB at
Jogja was quite new. Their prices were quite fair, for some item, their prices
were cheaper than periplus.
But, BB’s collection weren’t as complete as
Periplus. That’s why I rarely visited these bookstore (selain karena alasan ke
Lippo Mall lebih ribet kudu muter dan macet). But still it worth a shot when
you are looking for books or novel.
I knew this online shop on Instagram as they
followed me years ago. But I didn’t have the nerve to buy anything from them at
the time. I bought something after my sister bought a novel and told me.
They didn’t sell a brand new book, but they sold a
second hand book with good quality. Every time I shopped there, I never disappointed.
Hehehe and their service was quite nice.
What I like from them was, when I asked about a
book I was looking for, they willingly to looking for them from their storage and
told me about it. And the sold Sidney Sheldon! It was kind of difficult to find
any Sidney Sheldon novel on bookstore. And when there was a chance, surely I bought
it! Wkwkwk
So far, I’ve bought 2 encyclopedias, some novel
from Sidney Sheldon and novels by Enid Blyton (famous five that was published
on early 1990s). hehehehe their books condition were still good even though
they were old.
Oh they had another account for children book
(second hand as well). Check here https://www.instagram.com/children_booksellers/.
This online shop was based on Semarang and they
use JNE as their shipping courier. Check them online how much the shipping fee
is.
This online shopping was only sell comics! Huehehehe
as I my self was an avid comic lover. Wkwkwkwk this online shop was trusted! Trust
me! And their delivery shipping was pretty cheap and affordable! And the owner
will remember our request about comics. By “we” I mean the regular customer. I once
asked about some comic that weren’t available at the time. Months passed, the
owner contacted me whether I still wanted the series or not! I touched me how
they remember customer’s request.
They were based on Solo, if you curious. Usually,
the shipped my order using Wahana. You can search by yourself how much the
shipping fee is.

Big Bad Wolf
Indonesia (BBWI) 🌷🌷
BBWI was my favourite, ever book sale event! As their
price were crazy. All book discount up to 80%. Crazy, huh? I never attended the
event myself as I had another thing to do *cries*.
But last year I asked my sister to bought me some
books. I got Hunger Games box set for only IDR 150k! The original price was
more than IDR 300k HUEHEHEHEHE and another book.
Usually, at event like this I always looking for
some old books like any novel from Enid Blyton and Sidney Sheldon. Yea I know, I read an-oldies-novel. Wkwkwkwk
BBWI was held twice a year at Jakarta and
Surabaya. The thing is, this event was held for 24hours a day! Super crazy
huh?! I might found myself camping out outside the venue if I got the chance
HAHAHAHAHA and those discount really got me! Huhu *another cries*
So far, that’s all my-happiness-sources. I hope my
review help you out to buy book. And oh!, beside Jeni Comic, all the bookstore I
mentioned above mainly sell an imported book. So yeah, the books were on
English.
See you on another post, fellas! Have a nice day
Xx
