I’ve been in MV Doulos once and only bought 1 book because back then they sold mostly Christian and children’s books. I bought the first book from the Left Behind series and that got me hooked even if it’s all christiany and stuff. Hehehe. I don’t think I will go there this year. I spent too much on shopping already.
