A Monster Calls Special Collector’s Edition by Patrick Ness:
In this special collector’s edition, discover Patrick Ness’s original prize-winning illustrated novel and the remarkable story behind the book and film. In exclusive essays and interviews, read how Patrick Ness created a modern classic, and discover Jim Kay’s previously unseen sketches for the book. Hear from acclaimed director J.A. Bayona, and go behind the scenes with actors Liam Neeson, Sigourney Weaver and Felicity Jones to find out how the film was made. Full of never before published material and haunting pictures, this stunning edition gives a fascinating and unique insight into the making of both the book and film.
I probably don’t even need to say this because OBVIOUSLY I will get this book. This is THE most anticipated book of the year for me, even though it’s a book I’ve already read multiple times but ONE. HUNDRED. PAGES. OF. SPECIAL. CONTENT. *flails*
The original hardcover was already pretty damn amazing but this special edition beats it all. A Monster Calls means quite a lot to me and both this new edition and the upcoming movie are more than I can handle right now.

I have the paperback of this book and I loved it so much! I had no idea that there were plans for a movie or even a special edition release. I’m so excited. Thanks for cluing me in!

OMG I had no idea there was going to be a collector’s edition! I’m torn because on the one hand I want it so badly, but on the other I feel I’m not ready for all the emotions it will brew up. Thanks for sharing and, as always, fabulous choice! <3
