I have 12 of them now and the collection look very nice.

They have only released The Philosophers Stone so far but I will be getting them all as they are released.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-1138\" src=\"http:\/\/procrastinationstation.me.uk\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/51lK9798UgL-191x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"142\" height=\"223\" srcset=\"https:\/\/procrastinationstation.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/51lK9798UgL-191x300.jpg 191w, https:\/\/procrastinationstation.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/51lK9798UgL.jpg 318w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 142px) 100vw, 142px\" \/>I started to try and do the same with Sword of Truth and have had a bit of a mess on. I found some covers that I liked the look of and so I went on Amazon to start collecting the series, as its fathers day soon this is what I was getting from my kids. Happy in my purchases until they arrived, every one of them is a different cover to the ones online, showing that these sellers need to make sure they are using the correct images for the book they are selling. I now have to go to the trouble of returning them and getting a refund and then see if I can find the collection from someone else.<\/p>\n<p>All in all the books shelves are coming along nicely, all getting ready for when I have my library in the house \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Because I have a splash of OCD it has always bothered me that some of my book collections are different formats or different sizes.
