Fully Booked opened at Bonifacio High Street a few weeks back and I have been there thrice. Currently, in my book, this is the BEST bookstore in town. A Mecca for booklovers if you could call it that. What shoes, bags and make-up are to other women - books does it for me ALL THE TIME.

The first time my husband and I were at FB, we almost didn't make it to a friend's birthday dinner. Poor H had to literally haul me out of the store! A few days later I was back for more and got permission to take photos for this blog and for my column in the Inquirer. Ahhhh. I could actually live in Fully Booked.

The interiors here are much better than the mammoth Fully Booked branch at the Powerplant which, if rumors are to be believed, will be closing shop soon and everyone else will be moving to the High Street branch. This new book mecca is five stories high (including basement and roofdeck) and has a Starbucks inside. You can actually spend an entire afternoon here just browsing through the array of books neatly displayed on dark colored shelving.

There are seats here and there where you can sit and lose yourself in your favorite book. On the fourth floor there are rows and rows of CD's which you can pick from and try out at the several listening stations that line one wall. Books, coffee, music...

Being a mom, I was bowled over by the large, colorful and airy children's section that has the widest selection of children's books I have ever seen this side of Manila. When H took L there a few days ago, he again, had to haul L out of the store! Like motherm,like son. P hasn't been to this branch yet but I am sure she will easily lose herself in the rows and rows of young adult books available here.

And, if you are a paper person like me, you will go ga-ga with the journals available on the first floor! Ay, I wanted to buy the entire selection :) Journal joys to die for! I plan to stock up on some on my next trip there but have gotten myself a Moleskine to help keep this midlifing brain a wee bit more organized.
