books

Once upon a time, Book Depository was astoundingly fast. I'd order books at the beginning of one week, and they'd turn up by the end of the week, and I'd have to double check, really? this was posted in the UK? I mean, people turn up from London within two or three days, but they expect to be picked up from the airport.

They've been taking a more reasonable 7-10 business days, now, which is entirely within their suggested timeframe. Except that, either I ordered ALL THE BOOKS at once, or else there's been some kind of holdup, cause ALL THE BOOKS have arrived in the last couple days. This is orders that were supposed to be dispatched in the last week of September, and the first week of October. Ah well, I have them now.* One day I will even add that pile of books on the dining room table to librarything. And type up random scribbled notes-towards-reviews, and possibly even turn them into reviews.

But first I have to read all the books, and also Have His Carcase, cause I want to actually participate in talking_piffle this time. And go for a walk, and buy bread. scuse me.



*work as well as my own books. I have now overspent on both budgets, erk.
