I used to buy so many books from England because I wanted to read original versions, not translations to Portuguese, and also because they were cheaper. I don’t anymore, which is a pity since books may be retained at the customs house.

Once I ended up paying more for that ‘fine’ than the price of the books I had bought. It was the last time. They keep sending me those automatic emails, “we miss you, we’ll give you a ten percent discount” 😔. I feel like writing “undo Brexit, and I will buy again”…
