Book Prices

I was asked to also include the pricing of the books with every entry. I think it's a great idea but I really don't want to do that. I have my reasons of course. The main one being, book prices fluctuate over time depending on the popularity of the book at that period of time or whether its hard cover or trade paperback. The price for the 'Blue Ocean Strategy' went from about 49 Ringgit to 100 odd Ringgit and now about 60-something Ringgit. So you see, it would need constant updating on the prices because I want to convey information as accurately as I can. But I will however give you a general idea on the pricing of books.

Trade-Paperback Novels will usually cost around 30-40 Ringgit. That covers fantasy novels and fictional novels as well. Hard cover books range from 60 Ringgit to 300 odd Ringgit. The latter price falls under the collector's versions of the book. The earlier covers the fantasy or fictional novels. Book prices for tomes like 'The Roaring Nineties' vary depending on where you get them from. I bought mine for 20 Ringgit at the Big Bookstore.

The Thief with No Shadow by Emily Gee

This book falls under the romance-fantasy genre. Yes, folks, it's got quite a hefty bit of romance. Pretty steamy too! It's about a wraith who has to save her brother from the Salamander's den because he tried to steal something from them. The element of story telling in it is really, very good. It was hard to close the book and stop all reading. Girls, if you like romance novels, give it a go! One of the better blends of romance and fantasy.
