Draconic, actually. Or maybe Alexandrian.
Either way, the nice thing about that is that acquisitive instincts are perfectly normal for us, and therefore I need engage in no pretense about the fact that I flat-out grab and hoard appealing shiny stuff.
Two days ago I bought
10 start-of-series mysteries from Poisoned Pen Press for 99 cents each, DRM-free, as part of their introductory promotional special. I have read only one of the authors prior to this, and while her later-in-series title was quite decent, she was not on my wishlist and by no stretch of the imagination can be called a favourite author, though I am willing to give her a chance to earn that accolade.
I feel no shame and I hope they offer more.
