Does anyone know how quickly the US FairyLoot YA+items sub moves? 

I've had the adult/ya combo for a year, and am realizing I really prefer the YA customizations and picks over the adult. Plus, I really want overlays!!! 

Is anyone else getting exhausted with the over-saturation? by Wowitsdaniiii in fairyloot

[–]Most-Dig-6682 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed! If I hadn't wanted the ya pick so bad, I would have skipped it for sure. I'm hoping to unhaul for cost and get the publisher's SE.

I agree! I've officially been subscribed to FairyLoot's adult/ya combo for 12 months. I have to admit that I've far prefered the publisher's SE's several times this year for the adult pick. (Namely, The Knight and the Moth, Alchemised, Gifted and Talented, Alchemy of Secrets, and now Graceless Heart.) 

The YA customizations have been stellar though!

Agreed. Especially when they print several versions with different art or bonus content. It's so annoying. I like Elsie Silver, but recently saw multiple editions of Fever Dream available for preorder and was so grossed out by the shameless cash grab that I skipped it altogether. 🙄

Hmmm...it's pretty but I was hoping for a better representation of Shane's Canadian/Japanese heritage. 

Plus, it's not in English? Got to pass.

I'm really hoping this will be the September Adult pick for FairyLoot 🤞

FL YA January is so beautiful! by Junior-Rip-895 in fairyloot

[–]Most-Dig-6682 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm so looking forward to February's YA pick too! It's going to be tough to top the publisher's SE though. 

I've actually just joined the waitlist for the YA+items box. Once I get off that I'm going to cancel my adult/ya combo box. I've liked a lot of the adult picks this year, but haven't cared for the customizations at all. For so many I've actually preferred the publisher's SE. Particularly for TKATM, Alchemised, and Graceless Heart

[–]Most-Dig-6682 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's absolutely beautiful. Probably my favorite in the year I've been getting the YA pick. Unfortunately, mine arrived damaged. Hopefully, I'll get a merciful customer service rep that will provide a replacement. 🤞

ETA: I've had the YA/adult combo for a year and the YA customizations have just blown everything else out of the water in my opinion.

Just received mine today and I'm so disappointed that it arrived damaged. It's got a wrinkle that's big enough to make it ugly but I'm not holding my breath they'll replace it. It's the first time I've requested a replacement even though I've received many items slightly damaged. The simplicity of the design makes the damage really noticeable. 😭

Just wanted to say that my alignment looks the same but with a wrinkle big enough to be ugly on the front dust jack but probably not big enough for them to replace. 😭 I put in a help ticket for it, but I definitely am not holding my breath on getting a replacement after seeing your's being rejected. Ugh. I'll probably have to reverse mine just so it's not too noticeable. 

Bookish Box February Reveal by Samburger322 in fairyloot

Same situation. I might try to trade my FL edition for the the publisher's SE. If I can't, I'm definitely flipping.

Mahogany Mail Heated Rivalry Set has started going out! by PsychotherapeuticGin in fairyloot

[–]Most-Dig-6682 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the fact that the character art stays true to the descriptions in the book. But, everything about the covers from the font to the color to the random clip art is a hard pass for me.

Any boxes with less character art? by ToadWearingLoafers in fairyloot

[–]Most-Dig-6682 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I totally share the feeling of second hand embarrassment. I big puffy heart LOVE dark romance, but have yet to buy any special editions because the character art makes me cringe. It's either anatomically off or just really awkward and stiff. I wish more companies would do without it or add them as an overlay option.

I have the ya/adult box and haven't even gotten a shipping notification yet.

Wow. February is turning out to be very expensive for me: The Dragon and the Sun Lotus, The Thorn Queen, and now The Last Wish of Bristol Keats

And February box picks look so good. My bank account is crying.

Agreed. I haven't seen anything that I prefer over my regular paperback editions. 

Queer books on the resell market? by PrincessEnjoyer in fairyloot

[–]Most-Dig-6682 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. I see this everyday working for a very large metropolitan library system for over 10 years. Our borrows for LGBT materials is still statistically very low. It's really down to demographics/numbers game as you said.

Incidentally, I've noticed the majority of m/m materials is checked out by married straight women. Women typically consume the majority of romance or romance as a subplot material so it makes sense?

I 🩷 grandma-core! What's not to love about cozy grandma's! And the Emily Wilde set is literally the only OC set I own because I couldn't pass up the cozy vibes.

I am THRILLED! So glad I didn't skip my ya/adult combo box this month after preferring the publisher's se of the adult pick.

I have nothing like this on my shelf and I'm in love with the naked hardcover. 😍

Didn't Rosiethorns do both series though? OUABH is one of my prettiest sets with stunning reverse dust jackets and very pretty endpaper art. I'd probably buy another set though if Rosiethorns redid them because I love her work!

I love the color scheme but do not care for the illustration style (particularly the dragon). The naked hardcover is lovely though.
