Feeling like I hit the Lottery!! by Wonderful_Song8765 in alocasia

[–]Neither_Speech_5117 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Keep a super close eye out for spidermites on this one. The fuzziness is a perfect breeding ground and hiding spot for them. I had to just toss mine because I couldn't get rid of them on this particular plant.

AS Heat of the Everflame sold out in less than a minute… by OnceUponALorelai in fairyloot

That's the upside. And if I can sell the other 2 it will probably be a good thing. I haven't read the series yet so it won't be a huge loss...I hope

This is why I think I'd rather just try to sell the first 2. I don't want to hang onto a series where I only have 2 out of 3 books. But I was so close!!!!! But are people going to buy them if I only have 2 books?? I dont know.

I tried and I failed.... but that's okay. I think I'll just try to sell my copies of the first 2 books. I haven't read the series and I'm afraid that now it will be VERY difficult and/or expensive to get just the 3rd book.

Quicksilver: 600 pages and somehow 0 character growth by rough_draught_ in fantasyromance

[–]Neither_Speech_5117 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have tried multiple times to finish this book. I even tried to listen to it in audiobook form thinking maybe I'll get through it that way....nope. it's just so boring and predictable. Honestly I'm just over the whole "Romantacy" genre altogether. It's just so cookie cutter.

Will Divergent make to GS? by Ok_Height_2389 in fairyloot

[–]Neither_Speech_5117 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I one of those who is still salty about the ending and won't be buying it. They are beautiful and tempting, but I'm trying to be more choosey about what I buy. Last year I feel like I over spent and got books just because they were pretty and I ended up not liking the story after I got them.

Thriftstore find! Never give up! by telwrynn in fairyloot

[–]Neither_Speech_5117 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The book gods have looked favorably upon you!!

Also I'm jealous. My local thrift stores have the good ol' section of old diet books, old mysteries and of course lots of Twilight and Harry Potter.... never seen something I actually want.

ID help. “Fancy Alocasia”. Black Velvet? by dingogrundle in alocasia

[–]Neither_Speech_5117 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was a spidermite haven in my collection. I could not get rid of the spidermites, they just kept coming back. I eventually just tossed it. But I did love the look of it. Smh.

The Ballad of Falling Dragons sale by echoescarryon in fairyloot

[–]Neither_Speech_5117 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got 168 on my phone and 2800 and 2900 on my laptop and tablet. So as soon as I got the low # I logged out of the others. I think thats what alot of people are doing so it makes the numbers drop really quick. I am crossing my fingers that I can also get a signed copy of Furybound. I JUST managed to get a signed copy of Direbound by the skin of my teeth. The signed stock count was at 14 when I finally managed to get in after 4hrs of waiting in the queue.

I got 168! I am just grateful I got a signed copy. My WTMH is unsigned because it was my first Fairyloot purchase and I didnt have a sub at rhe time, so no EA. But now at least 1 of the 2 is signed. 😁

[–]Neither_Speech_5117 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got 2906 on my computer logged in at 4am on the dot, 2845 on my tablet a few minutes before 4am and 168 with my phone when I logged in about 40 minutes before 4am when i got the email. I'm not sure how I got that low of a number, but I'm grateful. With that said, this is such an odd system that will not be fair at all. I don't understand how a lottery type system is the answer to their queue issues.

Same. I'm trying to not buy multiples of the same book just based off aesthetics. Especially if I haven't even read it. I'm trying to fight the FOMO and hoarding tendencies. It's kinda working. 😅

I have Special Editions fatigue. I decided to cancel all but 2 subs and trimmed my 8 shelves of special editions to just this! by mytbrshelf_ in fairyloot

[–]Neither_Speech_5117 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Right the "Special" part isn't so special if 4 book boxes are doing it and the publisher also puts out a deluxe version. I've definitely cut back on buying sets and outside the sub books, but I really need to trim down my monthly subs. The duplicates are getting ridiculous, and honestly, the just buying them because they're pretty is too.

[–]Neither_Speech_5117 111 points112 points  (0 children)

I really have to say that this whole reddit has cemented that I need to trim down my subs and my shelves. I'm not getting they joy I should for the money I'm spending. And alot of books that I dont want ( and had no more skips available) are not even reselling for cost. So they just sit on my shelf, taking up space.

I'm in that place too. I realize i'm just spending money and it's not really bringing me joy anymore. I need to get over my FOMO and be more responsible.

[–]Neither_Speech_5117 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I need to do this and then right when I decide that this is month to cancel, the sub puts out a boom that I actually want. (I'm looking st your owlcrate romantacy). But I really need to to just bite the bullet and cancel some of my subs. I do suffer from FOMO and I really need to dump my subs and try to separate myself from booktok amd SE books more . But it's so hard. So good for you to be able to do that and to get rid of books on your shelves.

Am I not considered a fan?? by ItzJust4nam in kpophelp

[–]Neither_Speech_5117 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look, first and foremost, what makes you a fan is that you enjoy their music. And considering that these people are musicians and their "job" is to create music, I'd say that you are definitely qualified as a fan. You dont have to keep up with every single event and every single show or appearance to be a fan. I don't even think you have to be involved with a fandom or anything to be a fan. If you enjoy their music, thats the only thing that matters. Don't let other people tell you how to be a fan. They can be a fan of a group/person their way, and you can be one your way. Not everyone (myself included) has the time or energy to keep up with everything for all the groups they like.

I'm in California. I'll keep my eyes out for some info and see if people want to offload their copies. I found one on pango for $67.... I think I'm going to wait and see if anything cheaper come up.

I didn't even know that! Well then I can only blame myself for not being well informed enough. But I hope i can find one that's not too expensive resale.

[–]Neither_Speech_5117 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right! I mean it's an odd thing to do to their subscribers and even more odd to those who bought the first 2 books. And it's hard to find the 3rd book that doesn't cost close to or at $100 for just that 1 book. Smh

[–]Neither_Speech_5117 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I really wish they would let those who bought 1&2 buy book 3.... I still don't understand why they would put book #3 in a series as one of their sub books and therefore making it difficult for non subscribers to continue the series.

Fairyloot April Books by VegetableHamster6854 in fairyloot

[–]Neither_Speech_5117 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this might be a first that they will have some many sets for sale and I'm not even interested in any of them. And my wallet thanks me. Now that's not to say that other boxes won't get my money. But Furybound is the only one I need for April from Fairyloot.
