In the depths of the eerie forest, nestled among the gnarled trees and twisted branches, lies a dilapidated cottage. Its paint, long faded and peeling, reveals the signs of neglect and abandonment. It is said that a witch resides here, her presence felt in every creaking floorboard and rustling leaf outside. Those brave enough to venture near the cottage whisper tales of her monstrous creations. Legends tell of monstrous creatures with sharp claws and glowing eyes that dwell within the shadows of the cottage. Some claim to have seen these abominations prowling in the moonlight, their grotesque forms haunting the darkest corners of the forest.

Advise on Preorder on A Curse For True Love by Stephanie Garber
Hi! I'm entirely new to books, YA, and just the whole preordering. I just finished Once Upon A Broken Hearts and The Ballad That Never Ends about 2 weeks ago and I fall in love so much I'm experiencing withdrawal symtoms. So as you could imagine, I wanted to get my hands on the third book-- A Curse for True Love, and as much as possible, I want to get a little bit extra.
I've checked out Stephanie's IG and I wanted the Fairyloot set of 3 books ( link ), but since I'm late I didnt have the chance to preorder. And since Fairyloot is subscription based service, I need to also subscribe to get access to early release on September. However, I dont think it's going to be cost effective since I'm only particularly interested in OUABH series and shipping to my country (Philippines) often means I have to pay a bit more than the book itself. Also, I only wanted to own what I want so often subsciption based services goes against that.
Then I wanted the one with alternate book cover ( link ) but it appears that even if I preorder through Barnes&Nobles which fortunately ships to my country, I would still not be able even just a chance as its open for US only.
With this, I would like to ask some advice on how could I fulfill this desire to get a book that is a bit more special:
- I'm considering B&N edition ( link ) as it says this includes a unique cover and case stamp and will contain exclusive bonus content. Unfortunately, I couldnt find a resource how the unique cover and case stamp will look like. Will it have like elaborate hidden cover, etc., similar to the UK editions Stephanie pin in her Ig ( link ) ? I'm trying to find previous editions to help me decide but I have no luck so far w/ unboxing videos to.
- With B&N edition I have to pay like 18$ as shipping so it's really a bit expensive for me. I'm torn between preordering local bookstore but it I fear it will just be plain and there's no mention of any preorder perks. Like, Im torn w/ just getting ordinary version and search afterwards if there are resells but also i fear the
- I've seen like rerelease of special editions and stuff, in relations to Caraval. Is it often/common practice that special editions with beautiful covers with intricate designs, bonus artworks releases? Like collector's edition of entire series whatnot, for other YAs too?
I would definitely appreciate any help, your previous experiences w/ 2nd hand/resell, preordering, anything that could help me decide if I have to purchase now or should await months if I want to get a bit special edition of my favorite obsession.
