Do you guys realise that I learned a whole fucking langage because I LACKED PATIENCE ???
I, as a French baguette native, have an unconditionnal love for books of all kinds, and until I was like 14, french books were okay for me. I mostly read YA and had fun going to the bookstore to discover new releases.
But then, internet happened. And what did I discover ??? That all of the fucking books I read in French were translations of english/american books that WERE OUT FOR YEARS, but the french translation just came out. They already had SEQUELS, TRILOGIES out in the world and I had to WAIT another fucking year to know what would happen next ???
Unacceptable.
So I decided to buy those books in english even though I didn’t have enough knowledge to read them properly, and with time, I could read books in english and have all the new releases in time (+ super pretty harcovers that WE DON’T HAVE IN FRANCE BC THEY PUT THE PAPERBACKS THE SAME PRICE AS ENGLISH HARDCOVERS WTF)
And so that is the story of why I learned a whole langage bc I didn’t have the patience to wait for new books.
