Really tall and long shelf at BookXcess in Gurney Paragon, Penang

So, have you heard about the newly opened book store with a really tall and long shelf?

It's the well know parent of the great Big Bad Wolf book sales, the BookXcess Bookstore now opened in Gurney Paragon mall, Penang!

Located at Level 7 and 8 of Gurney Paragon Mall, this is their 8th outlet and the first store out of the central region! The book store covers over 26 000 sq ft with countless numbers of shelves.


It is also an insta-worthy bookstore, trust me. Too bad I was too occupied with the kids that I did not get the chance to get myself captured for insta purpose lol.

And that realllyyyy long shelf!

Well, of course what really attract me is the kids' area. We spent more money on children books now than for ourselves. And I just love that we can hang out there, read books at a very comfortable place.

There are unwrapped, sample books so you can read there. Just help them to keep the place tidy by returning the books to its shelf after read.  If you need to check on the wrapped books, just ask for the staff help and they'll unwrapped for you.

And one more thing. Don't forget the less fortunate than us, and help them to be able to read awesome books too with the Red Readerhood movement. You can help by purchasing any book for children age 3 to 17 and place it in the basket at the book store. 

The books will be distributed to several homes in Penang:
House of Hope
St Joseph's Home
The Salvation Army
Hope Worldwide Penang
