Hey there my dears! Today i thought i would share with you this baby haul i got from this new website i just discovered, Wordery. Now i don't know about you guys but i can be a bit of a book cover snob. If a cover isn't pretty it kills my desire to read. Bright colors and beautiful artwork are what draw me into a book and make me interested in the story well before i read a synopsis. So when i saw the American versions of these books i was less then impressed. There was nothing about it that drew me in. But i knew the books had some buzz and after seeing them in beautiful editions on youtube i had to have them. So i sought out a site that sold editions from other countries, in this case the UK, and hit the jackpot when i found Wordery.
The Books-
Vicious - By V.E. Schwab $9.95
Attachments - Rainbow Rowell $10.69
Now while ordering from a site that ships overseas can take ages the shipping here was amazing. I had each book in about ten days and with a cute bookmark to boot, totally free. I imagine that for each country it will be different but their time across the Atlantic was amazing so id hope the same would be true for other countries as well. And the site boasts a converter right up top to switch to your currency so no confusing yourself making conversions yourself or having to let google do it for you.
The price point was also amazing, this is essentially what id have paid getting them here in America, just for less pretty books. With free shipping from another country and fair prices (To rival Barnes & Nobels) it is a really sound investment for a book lover and collector like myself. And for others in the same boat as me the site is worth having a look at.
What are some releases i just have to see in another countries cover? Anything the rest of us just need to add on our shelves? Feel free to leave suggestions below to share the beauty!
