My memory is crap

Posted in: 2022 posts | blog images | Books | Forty Winks and More | I Need to Talk About My Dreams | Online Shopping Bag

Slept too late today. Had a mix of weird dreams that I don't remember a thing about. Still pretty sure they were weird.

⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰

This afternoon, I just had another moment where I thought I have that book but I don't...? It's messing me up. Did search through my LibraryThing and confirmed that I don't have it (it's "Rebecca" by Daphne du Maurier btw). Also looked at my blog entries and realised what I had in mind was "Madame Bovary" - which I mistook as "Rebecca", for some reason - so glad that I took photos of books I received and blogged about them these past few years! My memory is still crap nowadays.

Why "Rebecca"? Hmm.. I just recalled that I read an abridged version before (borrowed from library school, I think). It reminded me of "Jane Eyre" really. But then I still get confused often because there's another book that was said to be like a prequel to "Jane Eyre" - "Wide Sargasso Sea" by Jean Rhys. [Totally leaving these info for future-me use lol] I haven't read that one too. If I'm going to [re?]read "Rebecca", I will go for the unabridged one.

⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰

So... these books arrived today.

First saw "Before the Coffee Gets Cold" mentioned by Jack Edwards in this video. It really sounds like something I would like so I've been wanting to read these since then.


It only bothers me like 15% (lol), but can you see the foil thing missing here and there? I suppose it should look similar to "Tales from the Cafe"... but I'm not going to let this bother me.

I had mis-stamped my name on precious books before so I don't think anything can top that (I stamped it upside-down and another book got the stamp ink smudged off because I didn't let it dry long enough (>.<) #oof )
.


Honestly, I want to start reading this today but... I've decided to finish a book I'm currently reading first. I must be patient!
