I was one of the Ilocanos who were looking forward to the opening of this store called Samtoy. This was going to be the first bookshop in the province that sells good books; it also has a reading nook with comfy couches for book lovers like moi.

Lately, i have been buying books by local authors and it was interesting to have found light readings at Samtoy. I bought a copy of a book by a fellow Ilocano and blogger, Herdy La. Yumul called The He(a)rd Mentality (Php150). Luckily on that same day, i bumped into good friend Aian who did the cover of the book so i was able to have it autographed by him. The author dropped by the store a few days after i bought it so i got his autograph as well. :)

I also found books for kids! :) Now i finally have a good place to go book shopping for the little ones. :) I bought a copy of Golden Loom (Php325), a collection of 10 Palanca prize-winning stories for children. I gave the book as a gift to Oaqui who turned 6 this December.
