(This is me, a lot!)
I feel like such an idiot!
So, probably about 10 months ago I bought Cinder by Marissa Meyer from Amazon in ebook format. I’d had a giftcard and was all excited and bought all the books!
I hadn’t read, until now.
I picked up my kindle, opened it and the Amazon prompt said it had 38 pages. I was like whaaaaaat?
Must be a mistake.
So I carried on.
Then I was greeted by the sight of a lot of foreign words that I didn’t understand.
I sat in a state of confusion for a couple of minutes.
I flipped to the front.
I’d bought the DUTCH EDITION!!!!
How did I not notice this? It plainly says Dutch edition in the description!
I put it down to a busy, hectic life and not anything to do with my sanity!
Have you ever done this?!!!
Please let it not just be me!!!
CJRTB Books 
Well as I have ordered (mistakenly) three times the hardcover of The City of Brass I can’t fault you…

OH NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! That would make me cry! But yes, I have ordered incorrect books before. Lol. Usually caused by clicking on the one click unintentionally. 😉

I haven’t done this exactly, but I have downloaded versions of books not in English from the library before. Maybe you can return it for the English version? I would ask customer service. It probably happens all of the time!

I just bought the English version as well so I didn’t have to admit to Amazon what I’d done 😂

ha! I’ve not bought versions in an unexpected language, but i have often times purchased a book I already owned. Either because I wasn’t sure if I had it already, or I flat out forgot that I had previously purchased it.

😂 I have done this too but a different language is a first for me! Maybe I should just learn Dutch!!

😂 That is hilarious and while I have never bought a book in the wrong language I have accidentally bought books I already own that I want to read and I have bought the wrong versions of books before!!!

hahahah! It may be the universe giving you a sign that you should learn dutch 😛 It has never happened to me BUT I just bought a book that says “Illuminated Letters, ornaments for Xmas” and I thought it was an educational book on how to draw illuminated letters with “ornamentation” for Xmas… turned out it as a book with cardboard pages, and you could “pop out” from it ornaments to hang on your tree *facepalm*
