Book review: “Belinda” by Anne Rampling [unfinished]

I only read two chapters. Am I really writing a review?

Yes.

Book Depository is Heaven

Why?

First: the ridiculous prices

The first time I noticed the prices of this online bookseller I almost passed out. Dostoyevsky for 7€? Dickens for 3€? Tolstoy for 2€? Free delivery worldwide? Yes, please!

They are so cheap compared to the prices of books in my country (usually above 15€). Every time I visit the website I have to restrain myself from adding all the ridiculously cheap books to my basket. Instead, I add them to my wishlist… It’s a good thing that I don’t have credit cards and have to ask my father to lend me his…

Second: they are lovely

There’s this offer at the moment:

Look at how adorable that is. And in the post scriptum of the description of the offer we can read: “We love you!” What is this?! I can’t handle this loveliness.

Sometimes Book Depository seems too good to be true. Let’s hope the books I ordered really do reach my hands. I totally took advantage of this offer. I sent two vouchers to two friends and proceeded to use my 10% discount on War and Peace and Anna Karenina by Tolstoy.

I can’t wait to have them! They are so big I probably won’t be able to finish them this year!

(I’m jealous of Mia Wasikowska; she’s only a year older than me and she’s already kissed Mr. Fassbender!)
