    Yay Stormlight!!! :D I’m so excited you’ll be reading it! Also, you got so many good deals. I was excited FOR you 😆 I ended up giving Jay from Captured in Words a first edition (shirtless Kvothe) NoTW that I found at a used bookstore that normally goes for over $200 online 😮😮😮

      I'm so excited too! And ahhh that's so lucky!! I have a copy of that edition as well (but it's a book club edition)- it's the first one I ever received and my dad gave it to me years ago!

    I’m so happy you loved keeper of the lost cities! The series only gets better!! I read the goblin emperor recently and really enjoyed it - it’s quite different from typical action packed fantasy but the main character is so loveable and the political intrigue and character relations are great 👍

    Pumpkinheads was super cute! I hope you love it! :D Also, I would definitely contact Book Outlet about the Unicorn Quest mixup. I think if you get sent a different *cover* (art-wise, that is), they can't do much about that, but if you paid for a hardback and were sent a paperback, I imagine they'll either refund you if they're out of hardbacks (they did for me once) or offer to send out the correct version!

    Also, I just finished reading Cursed and it will translate very well in tv because OH MY GOD many ish happens!!!! I highly recommend reading it as soon as you can (before it gets published)!!!!!! I don’t think it is a standalone though because there are many things that hasn’t been explained about what happened after if that makes sense. I hope we get a book 2 in the future.

    I read The Goblin Emperor and I hated this book with a passion. It was a huge disappointment for me. The main character was an annoying insecure teenager who couldn't stop whining about not having friends when honestly he had much more important things to concern himself with. And the author never misses a chance to show off what a good and polite boy he is. It was so annoying. Besides I expected court intrigues (because that's the way the book is advertised) however there weren't many intrigues, to be honest, and everything was just happening very conveniently for him. I thought it was irritating and unrealistic. I was so excited about this book and really wanted to love it, but life doesn't always go the way we want it to go apparently.
