LOL yeah it’s pretty funny when my mom uses it in Portuguese! I guess I’ve imported it into my English vocabulary.

I could get books from Amazon but shipping is brutal. I guess now that I’m working I can afford it, but the impression I got when I was younger was that shipping is so expensive that I just shouldn’t bother. I do have a Kindle but many big titles (mostly from the big publishing houses) have regional restrictions (publishing rights or something) so not all titles are available to me. And Amazon is also clever in that they allow me to buy a kindle from them but all the perks do not reach me. I can’t subscribe to kindle unlimited, I’m not eligible to use the kindle lending library, etc...

I do buy some kindle books, but still having an actual book feels much better! (I’m short of storage space so try not to buy too many books)
