For once, I'm gonna start by the end. My stomach is dying with bliss right now, and is heavy as hell. 4.60 pounds. I got a duck confit blablanameblabla and a café gourmand (tea and mini-tarte tatin), plus my orangina for that price. Thanks to Aku, who works in le Café Rouge, a brand of French restaurants (yeeeeeah, I'm seeing lots of France here). ( Read more... )

Wow; that is expensive for books; I paid $12 for 'Beautiful Chaos' when I got it. God, books; I can't get enough!

Yeah, it's like an addiction. I even have the guiltiness bit when I'm being reasonable.

Foodgasms ftw! :D And yeah, book prices are ridiculous in France, aren't they? Well, I guess they try to protect printed books and all that…

Yeah. At least, there always are cheaper alternatives and not just by buying on Amazon, which I don't do because I'm not fond of how it's run and I like being able to touch and feel books when I buy them. If you got an English bookshop near, you might wanna check it up, chances that the books are cheaper than the French version.

Yeah, that'd be lovely :) I used to get English books through my father in Paris, that was always nice! The covers are so lovely, too.

Yeah, the covers really want to make you buy it. I'm very suspicious when it comes to YA though XD The covers are often all pretty and shiny but then, you read the summary and you know it'll be some kind of Twilight-like romance mess XD And it always disappoints me a tad because it's like a waste of a beautiful art.
