Fact: I actually typed "veary" today
Oct. 21st, 2009 09:41 am...I really should slow down with the bear puns.
I think I become a compulsive buyer when I a) have a good amount of cash, or b) I'm utterly depressed. This week falls in category b. I bought four books, two of them in Galician because I need to learn the most basic vocabulary -and I went for easy children's books.
The ones I bought today (no, not in Galician):
- Artemis Fowl and the Time Paradox
- The Graveyard Book
I find it annoying that the most interesting children's/YA books in Spanish are only released in hardcover; unless it's one of those mass phenomena like Harry Potter or Twilight, or not that popular novels that they know a few people will buy, then they get paperback (sometimes only paperback, and some paperbacks are as huge as the hardcovers). Anyway, I get to think the only edition will be the hardcover and I get it all pricey, and like a year later or less I stumble into a paperback edition and I CRY A LOT. I dislike hardcovers because it's expensive, unnecessarily shiny sometimes, and they take too much space in my shelves.
