Advise on Preorder on A Curse For True Love by Stephanie Garber
Hi! I'm entirely new to books, YA, and just the whole preordering. I just finished Once Upon A Broken Hearts and The Ballad That Never Ends about 2 weeks ago and I fall in love so much I'm experiencing withdrawal symtoms. So as you could imagine, I wanted to get my hands on the third book-- A Curse for True Love, and as much as possible, I want to get a little bit extra.
I've checked out Stephanie's IG and I wanted the Fairyloot set of 3 books ( link ), but since I'm late I didnt have the chance to preorder. And since Fairyloot is subscription based service, I need to also subscribe to get access to early release on September. However, I dont think it's going to be cost effective since I'm only particularly interested in OUABH series and shipping to my country (Philippines) often means I have to pay a bit more than the book itself. Also, I only wanted to own what I want so often subsciption based services goes against that.
Then I wanted the one with alternate book cover ( link ) but it appears that even if I preorder through Barnes&Nobles which fortunately ships to my country, I would still not be able even just a chance as its open for US only.
With this, I would like to ask some advice on how could I fulfill this desire to get a book that is a bit more special:
- I'm considering B&N edition ( link ) as it says this includes a unique cover and case stamp and will contain exclusive bonus content. Unfortunately, I couldnt find a resource how the unique cover and case stamp will look like. Will it have like elaborate hidden cover, etc., similar to the UK editions Stephanie pin in her Ig ( link ) ? I'm trying to find previous editions to help me decide but I have no luck so far w/ unboxing videos to.
- With B&N edition I have to pay like 18$ as shipping so it's really a bit expensive for me. I'm torn between preordering local bookstore but it I fear it will just be plain and there's no mention of any preorder perks. Like, Im torn w/ just getting ordinary version and search afterwards if there are resells but also i fear the
- I've seen like rerelease of special editions and stuff, in relations to Caraval. Is it often/common practice that special editions with beautiful covers with intricate designs, bonus artworks releases? Like collector's edition of entire series whatnot, for other YAs too?
I would definitely appreciate any help, your previous experiences w/ 2nd hand/resell, preordering, anything that could help me decide if I have to purchase now or should await months if I want to get a bit special edition of my favorite obsession.
They may view themselves as unworthy of happiness and success, leading to a self-fulfilling prophecy of negative experiences. 3. Cultural beliefs: Some societies have cultural beliefs in curses or hexes. These beliefs may be passed down through generations and can lead individuals to internalize the idea of being cursed. Cultural norms, traditions, and superstitions can greatly influence a person's perceptions and feelings. 4. Psychological factors: Mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can contribute to feeling cursed. These conditions can distort one's perception of reality and increase negative thinking patterns. 5. Attribution bias: People tend to attribute negative events to external factors rather than internal ones. This means that when something bad happens, individuals may attribute it to being cursed rather than evaluating their own actions or circumstances objectively. 6. Lack of control: Feeling cursed can be a response to a lack of control over one's life. When faced with challenging situations or a series of unfortunate events, individuals may begin to feel helpless and powerless. It is important to remember that feeling cursed is a subjective experience, and it is not based on any empirical evidence. Addressing these feelings usually requires exploring underlying issues, such as self-esteem, mental health, and coping mechanisms. Seeking professional help may be beneficial in dealing with these feelings and improving overall well-being..
Reviews for "The Curse of Past Trauma: Healing and Moving Forward"

However, as the plot progressed, it became convoluted and confusing. The author introduced too many unnecessary subplots and characters, making it difficult to keep track of what was going on. Additionally, the writing style felt disjointed and lacked fluidity. Overall, it was a disappointing read for me.
2. John - 1/5 stars - "Why do I Feel Cursed" was a complete letdown. I couldn't connect with any of the characters, who all seemed one-dimensional and lacked depth. The dialogue was cheesy and unrealistic, making it hard to take the story seriously. The pacing was also a major issue, as it dragged on unnecessarily in some parts while rushing through others. The plot twists were predictable and felt forced, further adding to my disappointment. I was expecting a gripping and thought-provoking read, but unfortunately, this book failed to deliver.
3. Sarah - 2/5 stars - As someone who enjoys supernatural and paranormal genres, I was excited to read "Why do I Feel Cursed." However, the execution of the story fell short for me. The world-building was weak, with little explanation or development of the magical elements. The protagonist's constant inner monologues became repetitive and tedious, and the character development was lacking. The romance subplot felt forced and unnecessary. Overall, the book had potential, but it didn't live up to my expectations.
