I am a wide reader, I devour books like they are food. Call it geeky, nerdy, or whatever, but I do believe that a person who reads lots of books is going to be successful. Anyways, what's the best place to visit for a person like me? Of course, no other than a bookstore. However, I am a person who likes quiet places when I'm browsing books. I don't like bookstores who offer more school supplies and other things than books (ehem ehem). Well, not necessarily eerily quiet, but a store with a relaxing music playing in the background which relaxes my mind. Fully-Booked, as you might as well know now, is the perfect store for me.
Since I'll be coming from South, I think the nearest Fully-Booked store for me is the one located near the SM Mall of Asia. It was small compared to the Fully-Booked Taguig branch, but the aura is the same, if not more relaxing to me. The MOA branch is situated alongside restaurants. I don't know why, but I'm not one to complain.
Fully-Booked MOA is a complete bookstore for me. When it comes to books, I usually have genres that I want to read and fortunately, Fully-Booked offers plenty of these genres, so I'm happy with it. When you enter their premises, a guard kindly asks you to leave your belongings at their care except only when you are carrying valuables such as laptops and other gizmos in which they will then opt to ask for a quick inspection of your bag before you leave. It's kind of a hassle for some but hey, business is business, security is security, and I'm okay with that, as long as they are courteous and respectful.
After entering the premises, you are greeted with books, not supplies and other stuffs. You could then browse freely. Don't worry about some books that are plastic covered, if you really wat to check it, you could call the attention of their staff member.
In Fully-Booked MOA, you are free to sit on the ground since it was carpeted. Of course you cannot stay there forever, as you might be an inconvenience to other customers which, in that case, the staff members will ask you to move your butt. Just joking.
For some people, Fully-Booked MOA might be bland and plain but for me and other people who prefer a calming atmosphere with books, it is perfect. I could get used to a bigger space but that's the least of my concerns. At least, it's a decent bookstore.
