Deluxe Editions You NEED to Preorder
I am a bookshelf trophy girl. If I read a book and like it, you know I need a copy on my shelf! Audiobook, ebook – doesn’t matter. I want the object of the book to hold and admire, and if it’s a deluxe edition, that’s even better! Give me sprayed edges, give me foil, give me a pretty case cover design! The only problem is that a lot of these special and deluxe editions are a limited print run – once they’re gone, they’re gone! Now instead of cursing myself for not picking up a copy sooner, I am getting into the habit of preordering the editions I so desperately need! So if you’re anything like me, here are some deluxe editions you should preorder – and you know I’m gonna break down what makes them so special!
The Naturals
The Naturals was… well I don’t want to say a sleeper hit, because the original fans of the series are fierce and were always stalwart supporters. But I think it’s safe to say that The Naturals series has gained a whole new, expanded fan base and thank goodness for that! These gorgeous books deserve all the praise they’re getting and more! This new deluxe edition of book 1 is made for the super fan with:
- Brand-new introduction and behind-the-scenes Q&A with the superstar author Jennifer Lynn Barnes
- Designed puzzle piece stenciled edges
- Foiled cover
- Custom police tape endpapers
- Surprise designed case cover
- Ribbon bookmark
Dream by the Shadows
by Logan Karlie
This romantic fantasy about a girl who must venture the depths of a deadly dream world and a cursed prince of darkness with a haunted past is ethereal, enchanting, and wholly engrossing! Some of you may recognize it as an indie-published work, and I’m so beyond happy it’s getting a gorgeous new deluxe edition! I mean look at those sprayed edges!! Talk about dreamy… The deluxe edition includes:
- Designed “In sleep he will haunt her” stenciled edges
- Embossed cover with foil
- “The Kingdom of Noctis” and “The Dream Realm” map endpapers
- Custom case cover with quote
Hekate
by Nikita Gill
Fans of Nikita Gill, rejoice! She’s bringing us a whole series based on goddesses of the underworld, and Hekate is the first divinity she’s focusing on! This retelling of the story of Hekate is atmospheric and poetic – I mean it’s literally told in verse – and it feels like a tale pulled from the annals of history or like discovering a lost tome from the library of Alexandria, miraculously saved. And having the deluxe edition just increases that. I mean, it feels like holding an illuminated manuscript! This edition’s special features include:
- Designed wolf stenciled edges
- Custom gold wolf case cover
- Custom wolf endpapers
Never Ever After
by Sue Lynn Tan
I love, love, love a fairy tale retelling, especially one that takes the fairy tale into a totally new context! Never Ever After is a Cinderella reimagining like you’ve never seen it before, inspired by Chinese mythology and rife with romance, intrigue, and magic! Plus, this is Sue Lyn Tan’s YA debut! Fans of her adult novels Daughter of the Moon Goddess and Heart of the Sun Warrior are definitely going to want this special first edition for their shelves—it has:
- Embossed cover with foil
- Custom case cover (in color!)
- Custom designed endpapers (in color!)
Twilight
Girl, do I even need to say it? With the 20th anniversary of the original publication of Stephenie Meyer’s modern classic, there are editions for whatever kind of Twilight fan you are!
- Twilight 20th Anniversary Edition: a deluxe paperback featuring soft touch cover with foil, inside cover art, and stenciled edges with a fan-favorite quote
- Twilight: Deluxe Collector’s Edition: a vintage-inspired design featuring a foil-stamped slip case, a new apple blossom cover, interior and endpaper art, a ribbon bookmark, and some of the coolest gilded edges I’ve ever seen! If you turn the pages one way you see Edward, and if you turn them the other you see Bella, and when the book is laying flat, it’s a gilded gold edge!
- Twilight Saga Deluxe Hardcover Collection: a brand-new box set with new cover designs, starry night stenciled edges, and exclusive wraparound box art!
- Seriously, these books belong on any and every Twilight fan’s bookshelf!
