My Popular Online Store Book Haul For Under $50
Happy Hari Raya to my Muslim Friends!
I hope everyone's enjoying their public holiday. :)
Last month, I did a shoutout on Popular Online Store's fantastic Great Singapore Sale (GSS) deals.
Now that the online promotion is over, I hope you've gotten yourself some great book lobangs because I sure did. I'm gonna be sharing about my book haul in this entry and I'm mega excited because it's been hell of a long time since I wrote about a haul.
Absolutely stoked to receive my bubble wrap package. I love the smell of new books! Does anyone feel the same sense of thrill when they breathe in the scent of new books? :D
Thanks to the awesome discounts, I managed to purchase 4 books for under $50 and enjoyed a saving of nearly $20. Who doesn't love a good bargain?
Shopping on Popular Online Store is simple but first, you'll need to create an account.
After which, you can choose from a variety of books to add to your cart. Obviously, I went for the Promotions or the Bargain Corner tab.
I chose approximately 4 books before checking out.
I remembered having a difficult time choosing because there were so many books that I wanted to read!
Checking out will lead you to a page where your personal particulars such as your mailing address, credit card details, promo code/voucher details are required.
Simply key in the necessary information and your payment details will be reflected in Section 9. Shipping and delivery charges will add further costs but if you want to save on that, you can choose to collect from any Popular store instead. It took around 1.5 weeks for my order to be ready for collection.
And these are my picks for under $50! I love them all.
You might be wondering why I chose the above books and even a random children's book so let me explain in a bit.
Finding Dory Story and Colouring Book ($3.34)
This was actually bought for my 5 year old niece's upcoming birthday. She recently watched Finding Dory and loved it!
Since there was a promotion for Finding Dory books and a chance to win a lucky draw, why not?
She's also at the age where she loves to colour so this works as a great gift actually. Besides, it also serves as storybook to teach her how to read while she colours so kudos to that!
Don't Sweat the Small Stuff OMNIBUS by Richard Carlson ($18.17)
This book was recommended by one of my favourite youtube gurus, Bubzbeauty (i.e. Lindy Tsang) and for a book that has over 20 million copies sold worldwide, it has to be something.
The book is also an Omnibus because it's actually 3 books in one so if you look at it from a 'very Auntie point of view', it's a steal!
The 3 books are namely the bestseller 'Don't Sweat the Small Stuff...and it's all Small Stuff', 'Don't Sweat the Small Stuff at Work' and 'Don't Sweat the Small Stuff about Money' - all of which I find extremely useful to my life. So glad I got my hands on this book!
The Time Keeper by Mitch Albom ($13.64)
Had to get this because it's a book that people kept recommending me to read after I was done with 'Tuesdays with Morrie' and 'The Five People You Meet in Heaven'.
Besides, it's a bestseller and I don't say no to bestsellers.
The Magic by Rhonda Byrne ($13.83)
The book that I actually wanted to read was The Secret, another best-selling self-help book which I've heard so much about. I was so curious to know what's The Secret so I went to google and was marveled by the theories behind it.
Alas, The Magic was the only book that was heavily discounted in The Secret Series so I went for it. Looks promising though so I'll read this and see how life-changing it is for me. HA HA!
