First World Problems

asphaltcowgrrlThe first of which is I apparently cannot spell PROBLEMS. *sigh* Yes, I swear, English really is my first language.
The second is a bookish issue. One of my all-time favorite authors has a new book coming out in about ten days. He's one of the few I break down and spend good money on hardcover copies (mainly for the Todd Lockwood cover art). I can even order a signed copy from his website. The problem? I'm a good ten books behind in that series. Which is pathetic BECAUSE I HAVE ALL THE BOOKS.
What is my life?
Seriously though, I'm tempted to pre-order every time damn Amazon suggests it to me. *grr* On the bright side, it's one of the few books that would not get me harassed by my husband for buying. I mean, I'm holding on to twenty-year-old paperbacks that are falling to pieces because I've had them for so long.
Guess I need to finally finish reading Promise of the Witch-King so I can move on with this damn series and justify buying my book! Jarlaxle, you flighty thing, I'm coming for you!
Like I said, first world problems.
On a semi-related side note, I just realized that the only authors I buy in hardback are all fantasy authors - R. A. Salvatore, Terry Brooks, Terry Goodkind, Tad Williams - but that's mostly because my husband will read those and he's not always Kindle-ready. Although, if there ever was a genre made for e-books, it is fantasy. I'm looking at you, Tad Williams, and your quartet of 600+ pages books. I still have those damn doorstops upstairs in my closet because I'm too lazy to carry them down to donate.
AND NO I DO NOT HAVE AMAZON OPEN IN ANOTHER TAB. I DO NO KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT.
This has been your pointless message of the day. Go forth and spread some dark elf love.
End note: why isn't 'conflicted' a mood choice?

Happy Thursday! And I'm so thankful that this is my Thursday struggle. LOL

Date: 2018-08-23 11:27 pm (UTC)I WOULD WANT IT TOO. Why do our husbands have to be so funny about books? Mine thinks we'll have a sort-out one day and most of them will go. HAHA. He has no clue.
My issue today is coffee and just because, I think I'm going to post about it. Stay tuned.

ROFL - I'm glad you got the coffee thing off your chest!
