Yay for international book purchases. - 15:29
After reading Little Brother
recently I
was keen to buy a copy. I also wanted to get hold of the Last Watch book by
Sergei Lukyanenko, and I had been keen on getting Neil Gaiman's The Graveyard
Book. However of those three only The Graveyard Book was available in
Australia already. The Watch book did not get released in the US when it was
supposed to, however I discovered it had been released in the UK. The other
books were also available there. So i made an order with Amazon UK to get
those three books, and while buying from there anyway I also got a copy of
Vegan Cupcakes Take Over
the World.
I was happy today to receive all of these books in the mail at work, yay some
good reading, some fantastic food and hopefully some more things to keep my
mind occupied at the moment. Once again showing it would be so much nicer if
things were released internationally at the same time so I could have bought
them locally.
