The inconsistent, contradictory ramblings of Scarlett the Harlot

Every now and again I pick up a book specifically because somebody recommended it to me. I don't just mean I pick it up from the book store, I mean, I go to amazon, I add it to the shopping cart, I read the synopsis, and it looks so good that not only do I order it, but I overnight it because it looks so compelling. Such was the case with Sarah Waters' Fingersmith.



Did you know if you're only overnighting one book, the overnight fee from amazon will probably be double the cost of the book, if said book is a paperback? True story.

( Not that I regret it, it's just something to note. )
