#and i know publishers purposefully will wait like 11+ months to release the paperback version

...  paperbacks or hardcovers ?

#hear me out: hardcovers no #i will buy them if i love the books so much that i just want them on my shelf #for the pretty pages or dust jacket #but i honestly hate dust jackets... nothing about them makes sense while reading #either you take the whole thing off or you crinkle and wear it out while you read #and then YA books never have like.. nice covers under the dust jackets so it's just huh #i am pre-ordering chain of thorns because grace is on the cover and i'm thrilled #bUT THE PAPERBACKS for this series are 10x better ... the spine art #the font size in the books is better imo too and i actually have seen typos in the hardcovers #but not the paperbacks?? #and i know publishers purposefully will wait like 11+ months to release the paperback version #so they can make more money off the hardcovers #but they're just ... not as good and i always end up selling my new releases and getting paperbacks instead #sighing here #and when it's a book you'd refer back to a lot it feels like paperbacks make more sense because you can wear out the spine #it shows less #however this is not to be confused with mass market paperbacks which are too tiny and impossible to read #⋆ 🦋 ◝ ooc. ◟ here to romanticize unhingedly.
