Not as hot today, nice

The family reunion went well :) And I start my new job, same as the old job, on Monday. I'll get a bit more money than they originally offered, which is good (I could probably have asked for even more ^^ ah well.) Only part-time, so I'll have enough time for other stuff now and later uni, and since the job is pretty much the same I should have a lot of time to listen to podcasts again, also nice. I'll try to enjoy my last week of vacation :)

I decided to add to my bookshelf, about one book a month, and at first it went well but I had terrible luck with the last two: both the third in a trilogy, and both books I got had a different format and spine design than the previous two. With one of them the bookshop ordered the American instead of the British edition because I failed to specify, and with the other one I have no idea why it's different. I'll probably send it back because it just does not look pretty and that's half the reason I bought them as physical copies, but it's annoying. At least my bookshelf will look very nice at some point in the future.

Oh yay for more money!!!

I'm with you on the design of books - I collected several sets of books (medieval mysteries, Wodehouse, Heyer) and a small part of me always got annoyed when the design changed part way through the publishing...

Yes! Why do they do that? Don't they know the beauty of a pretty bookshelf? *grumbles*
