9/12: Books that made you happy

9th December: Books That Made You Happy

THESE TWO BITCHES. 

So there I was, minding my own business in the office at work, during the time my Multi HOD and English Dept colleague were having their break; when I saw the Invoice with ALL 3 BOOKS IN THE STARBOUND TRILOGY.

Like how I always react when I see new stocks of books that I want to read, I go all OH! OMG! and picked them up and got all excited. There was only 1 copy each for These Broken Stars and This Shattered World. Of course, I decided to keep them aside so I could buy them on Friday. After showing them off to my colleagues and announcing it of course.

I kept them in the office actually, right by my Multi returns, held by a rubber band and with a piece of paper on it, containing my name and contact number. Just like all the reserved items ;)

About half an hour to closing time, I saw my previous colleagues, my Multi HOD and English colleague, bringing these books to the cashier counter. I looked at them and they just told me: "We'll put at the cashier counter okay? Don't worry your name is still on it!" so of course I trusted them.

And then........ after closing, when we were all sitting in the office waiting to go home, my English colleague took out These Broken Stars. With a receipt on it. I was hella confused, and asked her: "Why did you buy it......? There was only one copy......." and she went: "Because I want to read it!"

And then......... My Multi HOD took out Their Fractured Light, also with a receipt on it. She said: "I also buy! Because I also want to read it!" and I just stared at them like O.O

And THEN.............. THEY FREAKING BOUGHT THE BOOKS FOR ME.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am the luckiest person ever to be blessed with amazing colleagues.
They are not even colleagues, not even friends, but like family to me. I freaking love them.
I WAS NOT EXPECTING IT AT ALL.

And those, my friends, are the last 2 books that made me abso-fucking-lutely happy.
