Foxing

Currently I'm [also] sleepy lol... Did some organising (late afternoon) in my room but it's not bookshelf-related haha


Received three books in the mail today. No photo(s) 'cos I'm lazy haha. 

One book is Orwell's "Animal Farm". YES, I've already read it. I just want a book that's not combined with 1984. Opted for a less expensive(?) version (mass paperback).

The other two are Natsuo Kirino's books. Preloved copies. Wanted to try reading her books but buying new is too risky and expensive. The ones I purchased ("Grotesque" and "Out") though... *sigh* "Out" is mass paperback[-sized], so kind of not surprised to see its yellowed pages but "Grotesque" was full of foxing stains. Was afraid of that but I went with it anyway (the books were under RM10 each!). At least it doesn't smell mouldy so I'm grateful for that. Did plan to buy new copies if I do end up liking her books. Nothing wrong with foxing (I can even accept minor ones) but I realised I'm one of those who prefer not to have them so... just a matter of preferences, I guess.
