I need to rant for a second:
I had to perform 'book surgery' on my copy of Queen of Shadows today ('book surgery' meaning I taped the edges back together). I've had to do the same thing to my copies of Throne of Glass, Crown of Midnight, AND Heir of Fire. I'm probably gonna have to do it to the next three books in the series, plus the prequel. I hate doing this to my books because it makes the covers look less...worth my money, I guess. Mind you, I own the entire Throne of Glass series in paperback because that's all Barnes & Noble had. And they weren't cheap. Each book was $11.99 U.S. If you multiply that by 8 (which is the number of books in the series) that equals $95.92 (maybe more idk). Keep in mind, I bought this series with my own money. There were so many other books I wanted to buy while I was at Barnes & Noble that day, but couldn't because I spent nearly all my money on ToG.
What I guess I'm trying to say is A, I don't like ruining my paperbacks, and B, books are ridiculously expensive. Thanks for letting me rant about something stupid, and have a good rest of your day.
