clo_againTamora Pierce's new book is out while I'm in Oz and I was mourning possibly not being able to get it until I get back because I know her stuff pretty much only sells through Amazon over here right now.
But apparently! Australia gets the paperback at the same time as the US gets the hardback, so I should be able to pick up a copy at the end of April just from a bookstore. Yay! I should arrange it so I'm in a city then so I have lots of bookstores to trawl. Hhmmm.
Sometimes I think if I landed on an alien planet, my first greeting would be "Take me to your bookshops!" Then I'd probably buy too many based on teh pretty even though they'd be in unreadable Alienease.
... Even though they aren't written in Alienease (unless there's something I've really been missing about Australia)I cannot buy the entire contents of an Australian bookshop. They won't fit in my backpack.
...Note to self: buy bigger backpack.
