Book Drive in BCCK



I saw in the social media recently of a book drive for children's books that is ongoing in Borneo Convention Centre (BCCK).  The organiser did not specify an end date to the drive but rather, a box is just being placed near the escalator for the public to drop their books in. You can't miss it going up the escalator from ground level.  It was also mentioned in the social media that the book drive is part of BCCK's Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives and the books will be donated to various children's home.

When I was there about a week ago, the box was extremely empty except for a couple of Miss Sunshine books as you can see above. I have quite a bit of children's books that I can donate but they are at home but I do have some books in  my car so I went to check if what I have are relevant.  Unfortunately, they were not really relevant except for one or two.


Well, better one or two than none at all so I decided to drop in my Victorian Doll House book and a couple others just so that the books have each other for company and won't be too lonely.  I do wish I have more copies with me to drop them in.



I certainly hope in days to come with more people going to BCCK for the many events there that more books will be donated.

I also hope that I have a chance to be in BCCK again and you can be sure that if I do, I will bring a couple more to drop in the bin.

If you are in my city and books that you wish to clear off your shelves, you can try to drop them off at BCCK.

    I do have quite a lot of children books to give away. I mostly pass over to my nephews and nieces.

      It's nice to have family to hand the books down to. :)

Birthright by Nora Roberts

Synopsis : When 5,000-year-old human bones are found at a construction site in the small town of Woodsboro, the news draws archaeologist Callie Dunbrook out of her sabbatical and into a whirlwind of adventure, danger and romance. While overseeing the dig, she must try to make sense of a cloud of death and misfortune that hangs over the project – fueling rumours that the site is cursed. She must also cope with the presence of her irritating – but irresistible – ex-husband, Jake. And when a stranger claims to know a secret about her privileged Boston childhood, she must question her own past as well. If you are familiar with Nora Roberts works such as Montana Sky, Carolina Moon, Angels Fall , then you would have an idea the type of story she turns out. They made good hallmark movies out of these books. Nora Roberts also wrote as JD Robb but that’s another story. Birthright follows similar pattern. Callie is the heroine and the story revolves around her with murders, arson, etc. ...
