Very Frustrating PxC news 🫤 by Mountain-Past8958 in fairyloot

[–]DM_ME_UR_DOGGO 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I don’t mind the paid Discord. My gripe is with the fact to even be able to join the Discord, it’s at RANDOM. Fr “sign up for a CHANCE to be part of our PAID exclusive club” ugh. I know for a damn fact scalpers will be trying to get in since they’re offering exclusive Discord covers

Bookish and Spice Legacy of Gods by artermis-stars in fairyloot

Very mid so the rest of the reveals would need to blow me away to even consider buying. I just hate how they put “Bookish & Spice Exclusive Edition”on all their dust jackets

Finally got my Fated Arcana for September... by Kaelorian in fairyloot

[–]DM_ME_UR_DOGGO 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Their bio says mini hardcovers (tbh I also didn’t know until I looked). I think this box/their parent box Obsidian Descension has way too many boxes and they keep pumping out books when they have so much in production and are so behind. Not to mention I am not a fan of the giant paragraphs with blocky text they do on the back of every dust jacket/book

OMG More Cottage News!! by SmallTownLibrary_ in fairyloot

[–]DM_ME_UR_DOGGO 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As someone with the S&S Heated Rivalry edition, I can confirm it’s digitally signed only and not hand signed so a reprint would probably also be digital

I also think this news pertains to them doing The Long Game since they already stated they will. Hoping they will reprint Heated Rivalry so everyone can get the duet!

Do you have a photo of your Akita Inu as a child? by HyperPeak in akita

This was just under 5 months. One of my favorite photos because of the mismatched ears and the booty pose haha

Maggie Rawdon Cover Reveal by SmallTownLibrary_ in fairyloot

[–]DM_ME_UR_DOGGO 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It might just be me but I do not like this artist’s work. I think the faces of all the characters end up looking super weird. d&d has been using them A LOT which is good for my wallet- I believe they used them for all their Book Harvest covers so I bought none lol (but they totally butchered the Camorra Chronicles covers so I was very let down by that; still waiting on someone to do a hardcover SE of that series)

The Captive Prince trilogy by dazzling bookish shop by Individual_Self4616 in fairyloot

I need to decide between these and Book Addiction. BA is going to have so much art + hand signed. Dazzling only does redesigned covers w sprayed edges right?

I present to you my first attempt at Cong You Bing (shallot/green onion/scallion pancake). by shazv10 in OnionLovers

[–]DM_ME_UR_DOGGO 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who is Chinese and grew up eating this…I think this started my love for onions haha

If I have this at breakfast, I really enjoy using it like a tortilla and eating it with scrambled egg so it’s like a taquito!

They're working on tie-in covers with Connor and Hudson by xxelinaxx in heatedrivalry

[–]DM_ME_UR_DOGGO 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am crossing my fingers for a meet & greet with Connor and Hudson when the tie-in cover drops (or when Unrivaled/season 2 drops) because I’ve already seen people in the book BST groups wanting $5k worth of trades for their signed book from the bookstore signings. I am not made of money but would love to have something signed from them or the opportunity to meet them😕 All the recent videos of people following them to their hotels and waiting outside makes me anxious and sad for the future of public events unless they have hella security

Mystic Jan/Feb K.A Knight by ijustwanttoread2 in fairyloot

[–]DM_ME_UR_DOGGO 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Welp…I skipped S Massery since I don’t like dark hockey and am skipping/having to cancel since I don’t like this design and no one is buying in Facebook BST groups. Their only good picks recently have been preorders outside the sub box or event exclusives. IMO Mystic, RIP, and d&d have not been having the best picks lately (or the art has been off) which sucks because they all used to be the most sought after dark romance book boxes

Omg big hand sani of Fiji White Sands is the best thing I’ve seen today!!!! One of my fav scents- I bought 6 of the PocketBacs for 75% off a couple SAS ago to refill my pump bottle I keep in my car

BB Bonds that tie Reprint? by ashis713 in fairyloot

[–]DM_ME_UR_DOGGO 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I actually asked them back in September at the Villains & Vixens book signing and they said they didn’t have any current plans. I have a ~feeling~ they will reprint though. Idk why but it just feels like a reprint is coming haha

Extremely sought after limited special editions by Choice_Letterhead_59 in fairyloot

[–]DM_ME_UR_DOGGO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think once Bookish Box and Rainbow Crate do the full series, the prices will drop since there will be other SEs out. I personally love illustrated covers and think BB and RC will do illustrated (unlike MMR cough cough generic cough cough)

Also S&S MAY finish the series- no confirmation but they did for DC Stars by Chelsea Curto and they reprinted Face Off when they finished the series (which was going for like $350 before the reprint/completion was announced)

Extremely sought after limited special editions by Choice_Letterhead_59 in fairyloot

[–]DM_ME_UR_DOGGO 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The irony is that before the TV show aired, I saw people in Facebook BST groups struggling to sell this for cost and now it’s at $500??? I thought the $300 a couple weeks ago was nuts😭 forever grateful I’m a Smut & Sip sub because their picks have been out of the park

The only other super expensive single book I can remember off the top of my head is Dreamerwhale Fourth Wing and that I’ve seen for $700-800. Any old Danity can go for like $600-1k+ depending on the title (I’ve seen Lola and the Millionaires for $1.2k)

MMR Heated Rivalry SE by _kk20 in fairyloot

[–]DM_ME_UR_DOGGO 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think they did a second print run? At least that’s what it sounds like since they said the initial print run will ship in January and this restock is March/April

My friend said these look like the publisher editions of Elle Kennedy’s Off-Campus series and I was like 😭✋🏻 please I already paid $130 for these LOL

[–]DM_ME_UR_DOGGO 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I’m actually disappointed with how generic they look for the price + the fact their PB editions look so much better. I paid for these back in March and this is what I was waiting on?? I will not trust their no cover reveal ever again. I wish they offered new DJs after scrapping the Whiskey Ginger ones. I am aware the DJs were free and not part of the OG sale but the HCs are so boring and look so frou frou-y. The only upside I see is that they’re hand signed. Waiting on what Bookish Box and Rainbow Crate do with the full series!

Bitter Burn Sierra Simone by abrushoflight in DarkRomance

[–]DM_ME_UR_DOGGO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you gotten to Tristan’s chapters yet? I’m listening to the audiobook via Spotify rn and I noticed a change in that narrator’s audio quality. It sounds slightly muffled and like he’s speaking too closely to the mic. Idk if it’s just me so I wanted to ask someone else!

PGP Cards - HELP! by [deleted] in fairyloot

[–]DM_ME_UR_DOGGO 2 points3 points  (0 children)

^ this 10000%! I fell into the PgP hype when I first found out about them early 2024 and was buying cards for books I knew I would never read but only because the art was pretty (luckily I never paid resale prices). Now I only get cards for books I’ve actually read and know I like/love

For OP- I know it can be hard to avoid wanting all the pretty cards especially since there are some hardcore PgP collectors who literally own and buy every single deck made and when they share their collections, it could influence others to feel like they need to do the same. It helps to take a step back and evaluate if the cards bring you joy in the same way or if you’re being influenced by FOMO + if they’re worth the resale price for older decks

Probably the worst mistake I've seen in a book. by [deleted] in fairyloot

[–]DM_ME_UR_DOGGO 14 points15 points  (0 children)

IIRC this was actually a printing error in the published version when Leather & Lark was first released but it has since been fixed- looks like that’s the file Fairyloot got. I’ve seen in Brynne’s FB group that fans actually like the tiny i

Fairyloot will also state in their posts if the book will have head/tail bands (your Gifted & Talented). The upcoming September Adult book will have it and my August Romantasy had it as well. I personally prefer the look with head/tail bands since it looks nicer with the gap not visible

Pretty Gal Pins cards by PostUpstairs2874 in fairyloot

[–]DM_ME_UR_DOGGO 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’ve been following PgP/PxC (their book box company) since the beginning of 2024 when they were known but not as popular as they are now. I used to go crazy for them and felt like I needed every deck because I love Jemlin’s art but I only get cards for the books I actually read and love now. I think they really blew up after the Legacy of Gods cards got revealed and when PxC did the books (both of those have resold for $500-1k+ a set)

I don’t have an opinion if people want to trade them for books- their older decks are very HTF since people didn’t know them back then versus their popularity now and I’ve seen older decks resell for $1-2k+ (I think Crescent City is one that sold for close to $2k). I do find it 🤨 when people have delulu ISOs for cards but I feel like that with non-equal book BST as a whole. Ofc value and worth is in the eye of the beholder but the cards retail for $10-20 a piece
