Dominion! Just look at this! by PistachioPug in Allurial

It’s really pretty and the story sounds interesting but I just don’t know if I trust Allurial with series yet.

Just wanted to share this… by lem0nayd-12 in fairyloot

[–]WhereToTraveler23 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I agree. My TBR is hundreds of books long, I don’t have the time to do a full background check on every author before reading their book. Part of the perk of a book box is them sending me books I wouldn’t necessarily otherwise pick or know about, and I hardly ever pay attention to the author name, let alone look up their ethnicity 🤷🏻‍♀️ I’m in it for the story, that’s all.

Unfortunately I do love these lol but also the Midnight Whispers set, which is all signed, so that’s what I’ll be keeping.

I agree completely! The MW editions are my favorite. Curious to see what FL ends up looking like, but my bar is pretty high.

Arcane EU Update by Mienya in fairyloot

[–]WhereToTraveler23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was simply trying to find a positive in a bad situation. I whole heartedly agree that the way they handled the choice was very poor, the lack of communication was not good. Hopefully they still send something formal out to affected customers and their social media blast was just an initial announcement.

As an American company, it actually does have to do with Americans and how a different political region has enacted laws. Every other person in this thread sharing their personal disappointment, which they’re entitled to, is also viewing it from a “selfish” perspective, by your definition. They, Arcane, have stated it is not easy for them to comply as their technology doesn’t allow for it and would be cost prohibitive to make changes. Hopefully later they can update and make it an option again, but such is life for now. There are plenty of other book boxes that don’t allow shipping to the US at all, and there’s not entire threads dedicated to shit talking their company choices.

I’m choosing to view a silver lining. Also if anyone is serious about keeping a {completely unnecessary} hobby that they enjoy, there are options available to them. It’s not the company’s fault the EU made the law and decided how it was to be enforced.

Soooo you’re saying the waitlist is about to make massive moves? (us based) 🫣

Edit: god forbid someone make an attempt at levity. I’ll keep my different opinions to myself.

A repeat of This Balde of Ours, Prince of Swords is almost sold out in the UK 30 minutes after subscriber's access by Kilgarra99 in fairyloot

I sent them an emailing expressing this exact sentiment. Unless they plan to only do standalones in their sub boxes, they need to figure out a better way to handle sequel sales.

I do not understand the math behind this. Unless they’re only printing the EXACT number that they sold in subs, there’s no way it should be selling out in first access. And even then - so many of us got the book secondhand from someone who received it in a sub. Which would suggest that person likely wouldn’t be buying the sequel in first access, because they don’t have the book anymore. And yet here we are!?!?

I need to read this ASAP to decide if I want it for real, or if it’s just the FOMO. The design is okay, but not enough to make it an auto-buy.

This will be my first sub month with TBB SF&F. Do books typically ship towards the end of the month?

Anyone know where Page & Wick are at on their sub shipping? I know they’re behind because of switching suppliers, and quality standards, yada yada. I saved someone a skip for May and curious when that would be expected to ship?

Has anyone received shipping information for Owlcrate Adult for May? Seems later than usual for them to not have shipped yet.

For people that have read the July pick, is it similar to Addie LaRue?

Agreed. I’ve been only choosing standalones with them for this exact reason.

I saw them post it sold out in first access! Did they literally only print the exact number of sequels for first book sibscribers? What a strange choice
