Oh! The Decisions!

I really need to do some more reviews. I've read some absolutely lovely and wonderful things in the past week.

BUT! I'm lazy at the moment and want to talk about something else.

So, I absolutely loved Narinder Dhami's Bindi Babesand Bollywood Babes. I checked them both out from the library. Now, on TUESDAY there is a new one coming out--Bhangra Babes. Now, it will take a few months before the library gets this on the shelf, I'm sure. (I mean, the Lauren Child books are much more popular and circ a heck of a lot more, and But Excuse Me That is My Book [which came out on JANURARY 19th] is just now in processing). So... I don't want to wait 3 months for Bhangra Babes. Do I just buy it then? If I buy it, do I have to buy the other two? Do I want to own all three? What's the point of owning the third if I don't have the other two?

Do I need to just NOT worry about this? Probably. Will I stop? Probably not.

Yes, I'm Anal. Shut Up.

Ok... so... I think we've had this conversation before, where I need all my books to "match" on my shelf. This is the reason that I'm retroactively buying the early Harry Potters, I want all mine to be hardcover.

This is why I waited so long to get Something Rotten, I needed all my Thursday Next's to be paperback.

This is also an issue with the secret love of my life, Georgia Nicolson Every spring, a new book comes out AND at the same time the new comes out, they release the old one in paperback. So I'm a bit behind. But I broke down and checked Then He Ate My Boy Entrancers from the library, fully intending on buying it when it came out in paperback, which happens on April 25. Except... except...

Look at the previous Georgia Books.



Look at the hardcover Boy Entrancers.



Look at the paperback!!!



And look at the new one!!!

What's a girl to do?!
