I’m moving to California in a few weeks and I’ve had to say goodbye to most of my books. Parting with my Patricia A. McKillip collection with their beautiful Kinuko Y. Craft covers is killing me. (I am keeping Alphabet of Thorn, though, since it’s my favorite. A story about an orphan translator who lives in a library? How can I resist?)

To avoid this heartbreak in the future, I vow to not buy any more physical books unless there is no other option! (This includes dictionaries or books for work, not leisure.) It’s been decided!
