I'm still fuming whenever I remember what happened to me yesterday. The postman brought me a notice for 2 books, and along with that came a tax assessment sheet that says I need to pay ONE THOUSAND PESOS just to get the books. I mean, seriously? Why would I pay that amount for two books I didn't even buy? I asked friends how much they pay if they get a book plus a few other stuff and they only pay 40 pesos. I'm so frustrated! I got a shirt and a pair of earrings along with the book, so that might be the reason why they're charging me a lot! I have to sort it out with the post office.
Anyway, moving on, here's what I got this week.

I'm so excited to read Personal Demons, but I'm still reading Nalini Singh's Angel's Blood and Jennifer DeLucy's Seers of Light, both of which are just AMAZING! I will die of awesomeness if I read Personal Demons too, but I'm going to read it soon!
So what's in your mailbox this week?
Looks like you got some awesome reads this week!
ReplyDeleteI have problems with the Dubai post office also. I never know when they are going to decide to impose an import fee on something. Sometimes the bookstores will have the books right away, and sometimes I can't wait and have to order it from the states.
ReplyDeleteI love physical books, but the Kindle is an awesome to avoid the fees (and the wait).
