For the first time ever I can afford to pre-order a book I’m really looking forward to, but I have this little problem. (It’s ACOWAR, by the way.)

I noticed that there is both a hardcover and a paperback version coming out at the same time and once is obviously cheaper, so if I got that one I could buy another book or two with the same gift card. Problem is, I already own ACOTAR in hardback (and intend to buy ACOMAF in hardback as well because I have already reread it 4 times and will probably continue to do so, and hardbacks hold up longer in my experience.

So I guess what I’m asking is, should I get the cheaper one (paperback) and let my collection not match, or should I spring for the hardback?
