{So what did YOU get this week?} 

My little rant about the condition of PURE when it arrived on Friday: 

Was so pissed off at the fact that THAT Amazon UK seller couldn't care less about my item and the book arrived in a shite condition. Seriously, the front, the top and the spine looks like it's been attacked by monsters and are now filled with creases(!). Also, the delivery took more than 2 weeks (WTF) and I paid 3 pounds more than the average selling price for this. I spent my morning emailing my rant to them. I would NOT let this go unnoticed. Nuh uh. I treat my books like babies, and I expect book sellers to do the same.

  1. Aww that sucks about the Amazon situation! I know what you mean though...I pre-ordered The Fault in Our Stars from Amazon Canada...and instead of receiving the book the day it came out like I should have...I got it two weeks late! I was so upset! Oh well! Looks like the rest of your books are great though :) Nice IMM

    1. It really does! I just hate it when that happens - sometimes I just prefer going to a bookstore instead of buying online 'cause then YOU get to pick the best and new condition one lol :)
