I think I tried looking for fiction books there one time but wasn't that successful. I only found a handful of romance novels. Maybe I should have tried harder and asked for a librarian's help. Oh well.<br /><br />Netflix for books! I'd love to have something like that here.Chachichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10216391673830772231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2787784959453532541.post-79513394053375702392011-08-27T00:10:06.115+08:002011-08-27T00:10:06.115+08:00@Monique

It was inside the Glory's grocery near Broadway Centrum, and they lent out books.

There was once a bookstore/cafe in BF Paranaque that lent out their books for a small fee (yup, just like renting a video, complete with a set membership/registration fee). This makes me wish that we had more community libraries here.dementedchrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16819021458896570445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2787784959453532541.post-68562157763284974222011-08-26T22:16:34.508+08:002011-08-26T22:16:34.508+08:00I'm a reader but I'm the type who would ra...<i>I'm a reader but I'm the type who would rather own than borrow. </i><br /><br />Ditto. :)<br /><br />By the way, which college did you attend? :)Moniquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14672566802842750613noreply@blogger.com
