Woke up very early today. Got so sleepy by late morning until noon.
Couldn't go take a nap because I was waiting for the DHL deliveryman.
Preloved books from Shopee~
Can't resist when it's Fitzgerald's...
"Bridget Jones: Mad about The Boy" - The only book in the Bridget Jones series which I couldn't get from Bookxcess/BBW. Added this one at the last minute.
"Stories for Summer: A Collection" - There are stories from other writers here.
"Classic Works: Two Novels and Nineteen Short Stories" - This book is huge! It's over 800 pages... small font... It's hardback, and seem to be in great condition (almost look like it's barely used/read). Lucky that I got this at the price of ~RM25. On BookDepository, it's RM70++ (but not available anymore).
If you see carefully, there are some redundancies here...
The only thing new in "Stories for Summer" will be Fitzgerald's "Three Hours Between Planes" short story. The other two stories are in the big book. I don't really mind that because there are other short stories by other writers that I can read.
"Classic Works" though... I already have "This Side of Paradise" and "The Beautiful and Damned". Which is fine... I really need this physical copy.
I mentioned before that I'm reading a megapack e-book borrowed from the library... The 19 short stories are included there so I was thinking of reading them offline. I wish to return this as soon as possible. So to make that happen, I'll be reading from both books at the same time. Still going to skip the two novels though (hopefully I'll pick them out from the jar this year).
Look, Libby's estimated time for me to finish this e-book is 6 years (LOL). The last time I read this book was 31st January.
Anyway. Now I can go on and read the ones not available physically and hope that I'll finish this soon.
