Loot Report: Kinokuniya

This week I managed to redeem a discount voucher from Kinokuniya (it’s their 7^th anniversary), which will grant me a 20% discount if I purchase more than RM300, which is roughly the equivalent of 100 USD. So, I reckoned I should go and pick up a few titles that I have been holding back on. But instead I ended up with a basket full of books and an extraordinarily huge bill of RM600 (roughly 200USD) pre-discount. Thanks to that my reserves are drying up and that means less figures (that’s equivalent exchange for you). T-T

And so, I present thee the loot of the week.

HOLY MOTHER OF BOOKS!!

Manga haul:
GSG 1-6, Negima 17, Azumanga Daioh Omnibus all four volumes in one, quite a rare find i think.

Warhammer 40K:
Horus Heresy series (1st three books), Brothers of The Snake, and Ciaphas Cain Omnibus.

Others: Stalingrad, FMP vol 13., The split of Suzumiya Haruhi(translated from cover).

So far Kinokuniya is still the bookshop of choice for me due to the wide range of books there that easily outclasses all other bookstores in Malaysia especially in the manga, sci-fi and light novels department (light novels are in mandarin though because they are imported from Kadokawa’s Taiwan branch). Too bad there is only one of it in the whole of Malaysia (funny that there are two of them in Singapore though.) and it doesn’t sell Megami or Dengeki Hime. FUCK YOU MORAL FAGS!!!!

Also, due to my huge purchase I ended up getting 2 more of the same discount vouchers. So, I thought I should share it with my fellow comrades through a competition.

To win yourself one of the discount vouchers please get a screencap of any anime of your choice and insert a hilarious caption in it. Proceed to send it to myredknight (-at-) hotmail (-dot-) COM, together with your mailing address.

The closing date is on the 12^th of April 11:59 p.m. This contest is open only to Malaysians. (Sincere apologies to my international readers because these vouchers don’t work outside Malaysia.)

The winner will be announced on the 13^th of April and of course, i will be the judge.

CNY loot.

CNY = Money = Spending
simple enough? >.<
well, i decided to use a portion of my CNY money to purchase some backlog titles in my list from Kinokuniya.

The loot.^^

1. Negima vol.16:
Finally, the school festival arc is coming to an end. I personally thought Akamatsu sensei dragged it for a few volumes too long.

2. Genshiken vol.6
Ogiues cosplay!!!!!

3. Genshiken vol.7
The gaijins are coming!!! The gaijins are coming!!!!

4. Gaunt's Ghosts: Traitor General.
Colonel Commissar Ibram Gaunt and his team of specialist are sent behind enemy lines to assassinate a captured and compromised Imperial General in the Chaos held world of Gereon.
Great writing once again by Dan Abnett who expertly depicts the desperation of a mission deep behind enemy lines in the most hostile environment imaginable.

5. Gaunt's Ghosts: His Last Command
Ibram Gaunts returns from his mission behind enemy lines but the experiences on Gereon has profoundly changed him and his team. Could he brush of accusations of taint and change the tide of the second front of the crusade?

6. Gaunt's Ghosts: The Armour of Contempt
Colonel Commissar Ibram Gaunt returns with the Imperial army to liberate the Chaos held world of Gereon but there are others who have plans for Gereon as well.

7.Gaunts Ghosts: Only In Death
The final book in The Lost arc.
"Only in death does duty end"
-Imperial Proverb-

Would write a proper review for the novel when i have time on my hands. I highly recommend the Gaunt's Ghost series. It is one of the best SF novels out there IMO it is filled with GAR characters and stories, a must have in fact for any Warhammer 40K aficionados.
