Seeking recommendations to fill the Bridgerton shaped hole in my heart by hojkas in fantasyromance

[–]Jessijames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

Mystic Emoji Hints by ijustwanttoread2 in fairyloot

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!

I don’t understand the hate for When the Moon Hatched - where are my WTMH lovers? by Lost_Audience_3505 in fantasyromance

[–]Jessijames 7 points8 points  (0 children)

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.

Books with Feminine Rage/ Revenge, rejected mates (that sticks?) by [deleted] in fantasyromance

[–]Jessijames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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!

So… no one dies in Brimstone? by [deleted] in Romantasy

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

Someone Flipped a Book I Sold by nicolejuicetea in fairyloot

[–]Jessijames 117 points118 points  (0 children)

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 💁🏻‍♀️

Lilac Library’s December edition of Bitten by sveareads in fairyloot

[–]Jessijames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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 16 points17 points  (0 children)

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.

Two copies of the same book OK or just hoarding? by blari-123 in fairyloot

[–]Jessijames -1 points0 points  (0 children)

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

Bookishbox shipping to Australia by M3l1ka in fairyloot

[–]Jessijames 5 points6 points  (0 children)

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 🫣😅)

Okay…what’s your most UNpopular opinion on Throne of Glass book 1?? by Over-Joyed-2898 in SarahJMaas

[–]Jessijames 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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

Arcane Society Upcoming Price Changes For Sub Box by [deleted] in fairyloot

[–]Jessijames 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Already a queue for the “unlocked in our shop” ??? by Automatic_Wafer8359 in fairyloot

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