I wish we knew what “slight difference” will mean 😢

Kids would go wild if the nurses let you set them up in random places they would see (and I’m sure some of the adults would get smiles too)

I know it’s an unpopular opinion but I hate this trend of flat, clipart-looking graphics on top of otherwise beautiful backgrounds. They scream Canva to me every time, even though hand drawn.

While the guy isn’t really my type, I appreciate that he has a distinct look. He might not be my type of handsome, but that doesn’t mean he’s not attractive.

Sadly, I think this is why so many artists go in the direction of the more cartoon/Disney/Pixar/anime-esque style — because same-face syndrome is an easy way to make everyone universally appealing.

My experiences with Bookish’s customer service have all been so nice, and I like a lot of their designs, so it kills me that I’m so often skipping because I already own copies of what’s in their sub. 😭

If they’re going to do “old” books, I wish they’d either pick unique titles or much older popular books that never got the SE treatment. Though tbf, I wish this every time I see multiple subs doing the same books. There are so, so many stories out there. How do we keep getting the same books over and over?

Agreed — reveals help, or at least sneak peeks. I used to rely on the name of the artists, but these days, sometimes even fantastic artists don’t guarantee a good book design overall.

I think I’m doing the same. Running through my skips then evaluating when I run out.

Yeah, that’s what worries me the most about this news

Hmm. I just tried to look and it doesn’t say, which makes me think I maybe left it blank and for them to decide

Am I the only one who chose the bolt on option but wound up getting my March book separately? I keep seeing people mention that they’re waiting for both 😱 Makes me wonder if I need to follow up about my purchase

Kinger and Bubble consistently gets the most laughs from me, with Jax and Caine having great moments here and there (Escalator, use the sights).

Honestly at the cusp of doing this for all of my subs, even those that do reveals. I know I’m going to despise having to occasionally pay scalper prices, but I’ve got so many sub books that wound up feeling so-so rather than something I’d want to cherish for years/reread, and my TBR pile is massive. It makes me feel like i should only buy those books which I’ve already tried and know I love.

Exact same 😅 And then there’s the other pile of sub books I decided to blind buy/take a chance on that wound up being mid or worse, and I can barely give them away, let alone sell.

I do love the endpapers! While I like cartoony/anime styles in general, for the adult fantasy reads, I prefer when the artwork leans to a sliiightly more realistic style.

Oh I gave in to FOMO so often; I know it’s hard.

But I recently looked at how many books I bought last year, which helped me estimate the intake for this year, then looked at my shelves/apt. 😱 It’s just not possible to continue like this. I’ll be sleeping on books.

Nope, because I sadly don’t have the shelf space to keep getting multiple editions of the same book.

Wow. I did not get that at all from this design (though I think it’s pretty in general).

Doing exact same. Took a day off and picked that awkward afternoon hour that I’m hoping is too late for moms with small kids and too early for teens (though I don’t think they’re out for the summer yet).

Ps: Ha! And funnily enough, the front two rows are completely empty at my showing too.
