[BHE 177] Book Loot from the SG Book Deal Warehouse Sale (Part 2 of 2)

Myra here.

Every Sunday, we look forward to sharing the books that have haunted and hunted us down until we have finally raised our hands in surrender and took them in and gave them new lives in our book shelves.

Last week, I shared the first part of my book loot from the very recent SG Book Deal Warehouse Sale. Here is Part 2 of my book loot!
