Late box arrived torn with random books in it

My box is was ordered in April and then got lost/had tracking mixed up for a while. It finally said out for delivery today.

I got it from the mailbox and it was completely covered in packing tape. Like, almost completely. At least two sides were torn open. I figured okay, whatever, machinery mishap, hopefully the books are okay.

Then I opened it and saw books that aren’t even from Book of the Month and are clearly old?

At the very bottom of the box I finally found The Invisible Hour (which I was supposed to get, hooray) and Seek the Traitor’s Son (which I was also supposed to get), except it has no dust cover and has dirt/scrapes on it now.

I’ve been looking forward to this box for weeks after saving up to get five books in one month. Super disappointed, but I’m grateful to have a couple of the books still, at least. Hooray for The Invisible Hour, I’ll be starting it tonight!
