A Book Exchange.

If I could ever claim I had an acquisitive bent, it would be for books.

I have always been drawn to the worlds beyond the page, thoughts that had never been put to paper, and views different, so bold, or so challenging to paradigms that we take for granted. In primary school, I started a class library to share my Return of the Condor Heroes comics. As a proud librarian in secondary school, I would wander the corridors of our hallowed library, finding that next read. I even remember thinking that I would be happy being a librarian when I grew up. As fate would have it, I never managed to fulfill my dream, but remained true to my passion for books. Perhaps one day, I may yet open my book cafe!

Back then I was crazy about The Belgariad (iykyk). Today, my reading takes a more business-book-junkie bent. One of my favourite past-times is to trawl Popular bookstore for the latest thinking about Agile / Lean / Kintsugi. Yes – guilty as charged.

The only thing better than buying books is sharing them, and I would love to share my books with you! Check out my library below – you could click on any of the covers to read more about the book on GoodReads. If you are staying in Singapore, I would be glad to trade books with you. It could be fun. Hit me up on Goodreads or DM me on LinkedIn!
