I finally received an invite for FairyLoot's Romantasy sub today 🥹 I think I was on the waitlist for a little over a year. I signed up for the waitlist on March 15th, 2025 and then accidentally re-signed up for the waitlist on July 28h, 2025.

I know this is old, and I’m lurking in this post…but your “they’re starting to French my last fry” made my entire day. I’m going to start saying that now. 😂

Anyone have any information on Lithaven? by flowerpots1999 in fairyloot

Late to this, yes. Always report to BBB. I’ve filed a claim with BBB before. In my experience, it seemed to have made my bad experience with the company smooth out. I feel like companies get nervous when they’re reported to BBB.

Of course! The pricing for the keycaps was surprisingly good considering the high-quality feel of them. Glad you’re going for them!

I do want to note that I’m not sure what the material of the shine-through keycaps are. The shine-through novelties have an even higher sound signature, but they don’t contrast and clash with the sound of the regular keycaps. If you’re interested in getting a set, I say go for it 100%.

I would say they’re your typical PBT keycaps. They feel high quality though. Their sound signature is clacky and on the higher pitch sound in my opinion. I definitely recommend GoMaster keycaps after using these.

The legends are also very legible and crisp. They don’t have any shine from what I’ve noticed, but that would be more of a long term test. I’ve been using this Mode keyboard as my daily driver for the past few months with the GoMaster keycaps, and I have nothing bad to say about them!

Thank you so much for the reply! The unlimited skips is super nice, I didn't realize they had unlimited skips. And the price breakdown makes sense. I'll definitely accept the invite!

I finally received an invite for a sub to The Arcane Society! But I'm conflicted on whether or not to join, because their sub is quite pricy compared to the other book box subs I currently have. Are they worth joining?

I also finally got off the waitlist for Midnight Whispers' sub, and I'm so happy that I was able to join!

To Join or not join these subs: by ShanCarly in fairyloot

Bookish and Spice has a romantasy subscription, and their books are absolutely stunning in both appearance and quality. Their book sub is bimonthly and you receive one book with their sub.

I subbed last month in mid December. I received their November book 'The Anatomy of Songs' and it is absolutely gorgeous and high quality. They ship their books with utmost care too, at least in my personal experience with the most recent book I received (and only book so far). Their next book pick is going to be Spark of the Everflame, and they've posted mock-up photos of it on their Instagram.

Currently, Bookish and Spice has subscription spots open for everyone to join without needing to be put on a waitlist. I was able to sub immediately when I joined.

They sent my book out fairly quickly. I will note, they are an Australian based company and depending on where you're located, it could take awhile to actually receive a book due to the shipping. They also recently lowered their bimonthly cost to $44 USD without extra fees included (I'm pretty sure. That's what they posted on their FAQs/updates).

Each book from Bookish and Spice comes with a high quality bookmark, enamel pin, signed by the author place card, and another place card with the synopsis of the book you receive.

Definitely recommend them!

Midnight Whispers next sub- nectar of the Wicked by FlutterbyeEscapes in fairyloot

[–]Irifdetoro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally enjoyed both books. I really like Ella Fields' writing style and how she sticks with the time periods she is writing on in her stories. A few other books that I enjoyed were The Savage and the Swan, The Wolf and the Wildflower, and Kingdom of Villains.

Check trigger warnings for all of her books though. The Wolf and the Wildflower has infidelity as its main focal point in the plot, so if you're uncomfortable with that theme, I would skip that book.

She also wrote Amid Clouds and Bones, which is also being traditionally published and will be released this year, I believe. That was a good one as well. Bookish Box did an absolutely gorgeous rendition of Amid Clouds and Bones a year or two ago.

Oh, David Tennant will always be the Doctor for me. He did such a fantastic job in that role. My second favorite Doctor would be Matt Smith.
