This felt like another extremely long week. I truly think it's because I literally have nothing to look forward to. This whole year is just a bust I think. Sad way to start a new decade huh? I pretty much feel like all Fall events are going to be canceled too. All those festivals I like to use my vacation days for. Don't get me wrong, I get why they have to be canceled. Sigh...I do have some vacation days I can use this year, so I might just throw some in here and there just to use them up.
Here's what I bought this week:
A Wicked Magic by Sasha Laurens--luckily the added gift card I had helped to bring this one down to Amazon's old price range!
Of Flame and Fury by Cecy Robson--I chose slower shipping on two of my last non-book orders and it got me some credits to use towards digital things, so I immediately used them to pay for half of this one!
Then my July Fairy Loot came in earlier than I anticipated! So that was a nice surprise. Though, oddly, with the book, I prefer the original cover art. It's the virtually the same just a different color. This new color just doesn't mesh well in my opinion, but whatever! :)
Then I won the June Series Enders Reading Challenge and got another e-gift card which I immediately spent! Lol.
THANK YOU Sandy & Holly!
Then from Underlined I finally got my pillow case I earned through various preorders. I nearly forgot about it until I opened it!
THANK YOU Underlined!
And then I saved the best for last, because honestly, even though I bought it, it was WAY better than I expected! So as you might know, I am waiting on a package that got lost that was Caraval related. It's the Moonlight Crate alternate dust-jackets for the UK hardcovers! I decided I wanted to buy another round of books for these, yeah, I know, I have all 4 designs from the other books, but my brain computes those as a set themselves, so I bought second or third print runs of books 2 & 3 easily, finding book 1, was harder...
So I turned to eBay, checked it on the regular and I finally saw someone selling a UK Caraval HARDCOVER that was UNDER $250! Hell, it was just over $20 and I thought yes!! I don't care if it's a secret cover or not, as the description just said hardcover. But you guys! When I opened my package guess what I had...
It was the TESCO CARAVAL!!!! The ultra uber rare edition that's pretty hard to find! I mean, I had a copy that I was able to get with some help the first time around, but to have a second one I was pretty stoked!! And it's in really good condition too! There's a bit of scrape in the pages, but it's pretty minor in the long run considering what edition this is!!
Caraval by Stephanie Garber--TESCO EDITION!!!!
Now just to wait for my covers to arrive...hopefully, maybe, eventually, GOD PLEASE LET THEM COME!!!! ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜
