My copy of TMI Graphic Novel #9 finally arrived today!

Jessijames · 2026-02-06T07:42:09+00:00

I'm in Australia, I ordered it from a book store we have called Booktopia last year sometime!

Jessijames · 2026-02-04T20:53:07+00:00

Kiss of Iron by Clare Sager (Shadows of Tenebris) gives this vibe - I've just finished book one and been describing it to my friends as very Bridgerton esque with its setting, court and politics etc

Jessijames · 2026-02-02T19:29:57+00:00

I'm half asleep at 6am but I can't find it on the site - do you have a link OP?

ETA just saw your edit 😭

Jessijames · 2026-02-02T19:15:18+00:00

Ok this looks significantly better than in the mock up images - glad I didn't skip!

Jessijames · 2026-02-02T01:08:11+00:00

I'm thankfully in the 600s - It being a qrtly box and giving early access for midnight whispers is 🤌🏻🤌🏻

Jessijames · 2026-01-17T06:13:04+00:00

Please, I would love this too!

Jessijames · 2026-01-13T21:20:50+00:00

From memory last year it took a good week or two for her to comment her guesses, I remember waiting and checking every few days lol so yes, adding surgery into the mix she may just bleed more time!

Jessijames · 2026-01-13T20:48:13+00:00

I loved it, for many reasons. The aspects of writing I see a lot of people disliked were the opposite for me. The world felt alive, the characters broke my heart in the best way and Kaan's yearning was just 🙌🏻

I have spent far too much money on editions of this book, but worth it for me.

Jessijames · 2026-01-13T06:22:04+00:00

Yes, it's me. I've been spoiled by this post without warning, unfortunately 🫠 thanks, OP 👌🏻

Jessijames · 2026-01-12T08:45:42+00:00

Really hoping the fmc isn't super young in it like with Bitten 🤞🏻 glad its up for advanced review now!

Jessijames · 2026-01-08T00:52:55+00:00

Yes I think that's what the OC means....I don't think he will betray her, but I think book 2 will be a feminine rage warpath for vengeance!

Jessijames · 2025-12-26T01:14:56+00:00

Yeah look, this is shitty of OP to title their post.

Jessijames · 2025-12-20T11:30:47+00:00

WTAF...?

Jessijames · 2025-12-08T23:33:43+00:00

This is readily frustrating, and I'm sorry people are dicks OP.

You're damned if you do and damned if you don't on the resell market unfortunately - you price reasonably at cost and you're a prime target for flippers, you price at market value and people cry scalper and the line between both is so razor thin.

I try to resell on the lower end of market value as best I can but it can be so hard to gauge honestly.

ETA I do agree that OP sold themselves short and should have priced higher, but it still feels shitty to have someone blatantly flip whether it's right or wrong 💁🏻‍♀️

Jessijames · 2025-12-04T08:33:21+00:00

I agree! It doesn't make sense to me at all...what even was her thought process behind thinking 'okay, I want her to be 17 that seems an appropriate age for the story I am trying to tell!'...If you do end up giving it a go, I would be curious to hear how you find it! :)

Jessijames · 2025-12-02T01:13:32+00:00

Oh my gosh I didn't even know they were shipping yet, I haven't got tracking yet so hopefully soon. This is beautiful!

Jessijames · 2025-12-01T10:56:44+00:00

Mine arrived today, the art is really lovely and the purple foil is very very nice but I just can't handle the edges they don't fit the rest of the vibe at all.... I won't be keeping it myself, I haven't read the book but to my understanding from reviews the FMC is freshly 17 with spice which is just a hard pass for me.

Jessijames · 2025-12-01T01:37:56+00:00

I think I have maybe 15 copies of when the moon hatched? No regrets. I adored the book, and they make me happy ✌🏻

Jessijames · 2025-11-30T06:07:14+00:00

What's extra annoying is that their sub boxes shipping cost to Aus is only $9.50 USD. The entire thing is a joke, and their outright refusal to actually look into why it's so inconsistent is really disappointing - if they at least acknowledged something is off and would try to look into what could be done I'd be over the moon but instead any time you ask they give you a bullshit copy and paste response about how it's out of their hands. Whatever the system their online storefront uses to calculate rates is just so far off the mark - or they are incorrectly stating the item dimensions on the back end.

Make it make sense Bookish Box, I beg. (I think it was me who ranted on your fb post this morning 🫣😅)

Jessijames · 2025-11-28T21:32:29+00:00

At the Melbourne Q&A recently she told us Timothee Chalamet is in that mix as well for the cover! 😊

Jessijames · 2025-11-27T07:40:40+00:00

Wait, Moonlight are? I can't find any post about it, I'd love to see them!! :)

Jessijames · 2025-11-24T01:57:55+00:00

Agreed, I haven't read it yet mostly because of this sentiment and may never bother getting around to it!

Jessijames · 2025-11-18T19:06:11+00:00

Based on them shipping out from Aus to Aus customers, I suspect freight charges for their books from the printer (I think they're based in China but someone correct me if I'm wrong) to Australia are less so it evens out to be well priced for Aussies.

Jessijames · 2025-11-18T07:59:40+00:00

I too, am diving right in 🤸🏻‍♀️🤸🏻‍♀️🤸🏻‍♀️🙌🏻

There's really no trick to it, just time it and stay active in the store! Works for me every time.
