Oh oops! Yeah, that could be an issue I guess! I check my preorders at the beginning of the month to make sure I don't do that. I don't preorder that many books anymore, maybe 1 or 2 a month. Usually only if there's a really great preorder incentive!

And today I received the Gryffindor special edition of Chamber of Secrets in paperback from The Book Depository!
Nice Jenny!! I need to get more of those editions. I’d like to get all 4. Love those sprayed edges!

Me too! I think I'm going to get the hardback ones of Philopsher's Stone, and the PB ones of Chamber of Secrets. I'll be getting all the Ravenclaw editions of everything, since that's my house :)

I am reading an omnibus version with books 1-3 but couldn't find that so listing them all separately. The Fourth book was released this summer. I am just starting book 3.
This is one of my all time favorite dystopian series ever. Highly recommended.

And so lucky about the Catwoman pop socket. I can't do preorders because without fail, I forget I preordered, and I always buy a.copy at the store the day of release and then end up with 2 copies. 🙍 So I'm on a preorder ban, except for audiobooks. Audible tells me I've already bought a copy. Lol!
