If there’s one sale that consistently gets book lovers across Malaysia buzzing with excitement, it’s the return of the Big Bad Wolf Book Sale. This time, it’s landing in Kota Bharu, Kelantan—and it’s promising to be one of the most thrilling shopping experiences for readers of all ages. From 29 May to 9 June 2025, the book extravaganza will be held at Mydin Tunjong, bringing unbeatable book deals, irresistible discounts of up to 95%, and the joy of literature to East Coast Malaysia.
The Big Bad Wolf Books Sale has grown to become a staple event in Malaysia’s shopping calendar. Known as the world’s biggest book sale, it’s not just a retail event—it’s a cultural phenomenon. What makes this year’s edition in Kota Bharu special is how it combines affordability, family-friendly entertainment, and an unmatched selection of books that cater to everyone from toddlers to seasoned readers.
Why should they go and enjoy this deal?
Let’s be honest—books in Malaysia can be expensive, especially when it comes to imported titles. While public libraries play their role, many readers still find themselves priced out of the latest bestsellers or niche genre titles. This is where Big Bad Wolf shines. Offering discounts of up to 95% off across a broad range of genres—children’s books, young adult fiction, romance, self-help, biographies, cooking, design, business, and more—it gives access to books that might otherwise cost a fortune.
And it’s not just about the price. The sheer volume of books is part of the thrill. Imagine tables piled high with hundreds of thousands of titles, enough to get lost in for hours. Whether someone’s looking for something specific or simply exploring what catches their eye, the experience itself is like a treasure hunt. That moment of discovering a long-wanted title at a fraction of its retail price—that’s what keeps readers coming back year after year.
A family affair worth planning for
Big Bad Wolf isn’t just for individual readers. It’s the kind of event that brings entire families together. Parents looking to introduce reading habits to their children can stock up on early learning books, picture books, and educational materials at a fraction of regular prices. For students and young professionals, it’s the perfect time to grab reference materials, exam guides, or inspirational non-fiction titles without hurting their wallets.
The venue—Mydin Tunjong in Kota Bharu—offers ample space and convenient access, making it ideal for families to spend a few hours or even an entire afternoon exploring books. And since admission is absolutely free, there’s nothing stopping anyone from popping by more than once during the event period.
Contest and giveaways add to the excitement
This year, Big Bad Wolf isn’t stopping at discounts alone. Attendees also stand a chance to win free cash by joining a special contest during the event. Details are simple and are shared onsite, making participation hassle-free. It’s a little extra reward for book lovers—and who wouldn’t want to walk away with free books and free cash?
The organisers have always made an effort to keep things interactive, and the Kota Bharu leg is no different. Expect engaging setups, staff that are eager to assist, and possibly even pop-up storytelling corners or live sessions for children. It’s more than just a sale; it’s an immersive event that promotes reading in a fun and accessible way.
A platform that supports literacy and lifelong learning
Beyond the retail experience, what makes Big Bad Wolf truly worth supporting is its mission to promote literacy and make books affordable for all. By bringing books to areas that may not have easy access to diverse titles, and by slashing prices dramatically, the organisers are helping to bridge the educational gap and encourage a lifelong love of reading.
For educators, community organisers, and parents, the Big Bad Wolf Sale can also be an opportunity to build mini-libraries at home, donate books to local schools, or stock up on resources for community reading programmes.
Make a plan, mark the date
If they’re in Kelantan—or even planning a trip to Kota Bharu during the school holidays—this event should be part of their itinerary. It’s rare to come across a sale that combines great bargains, a wide selection, and a noble purpose. Plus, with long operating hours from 10AM to 10PM daily, it’s easy to fit into any schedule.
Here are a few tips for making the most of the event:
-
Go early in the day to avoid crowds and get the first pick.
-
Bring a large bag or trolley—shoppers often walk out with more than expected.
-
Make a wishlist, but keep an open mind—you might find something unexpected and wonderful.
-
Visit more than once, if possible. New stocks often come in midway through the event.
