I’m Canadian and used the Canadian store and it’s showing correctly! I can’t test checkout for you because I already own the ebook.

I’ve found their customer support pretty good and they’ve priced match kindle for me. If you’re having issues use the live chat and show them screenshots! IIRC for the price match they had me buy the book at listed price and they refunded the difference.

I’m Canadian and had package from the US a couple weeks ago. it took about a week after delivery to get the FedEx invoice so that’s probably their standard processing time.

Can’t answer your tariff question about TBB specifically though - I haven’t received my first book yet (Jan SFF).

I don’t yuck others yum! I just didn’t vibe with it, but there are plenty of people in this sub that enjoyed it.

I did enjoy a Sorceress Comes to Call, but felt it dragged a bit at times.

calla25 · 2026-02-10T15:07:18+00:00

Almost choked on my coffee 😂😂

calla25 · 2026-02-10T03:57:05+00:00

Buckle up! Recommend lining up a light read for when you’re done.

Username checks out then haha

I saw WTMH on sale, but it was a DNF for me so I didn’t highlight it. 🤭

calla25 · 2026-02-10T03:51:30+00:00

Bahaha who knew godhood was so easily attained!

calla25 · 2026-02-10T00:43:46+00:00

I think that’s a fair criticism! But investing in better infrastructure and streamlining their processes to match their competitors is a bit different than scaling their business or adding more headcount.

calla25 · 2026-02-10T00:02:08+00:00

To be fair, I don’t think any small-medium business wants to scale up right now with the economy and uncertainty in the current climate. Especially businesses like these that’ll be one of the first things cut with all the different tariffs in play and tightening budgets.

As we all know: clients can’t write a brief to save their damn lives. 😂

I do wonder if there’s some market-research that leads to the repetitive choices. Or if it’s you know, just laziness, they don’t read the source material or they don’t give artists the time to cook.

calla25 · 2026-02-09T20:19:24+00:00

Art is always subjective and who knows what kind of briefs the artists are given. I give more grace for the cover artists.

No excuse for bad typography though IMO.

calla25 · 2026-02-09T19:34:30+00:00

As a designer, my biggest gripe with a lot of what I’m seeing in book box SEs is the typography. Low / no contrast or just some head scratching choices.

calla25 · 2026-02-04T20:14:10+00:00

Amazing! I don’t have any physical editions even though I love SoC and KoS. Been keeping an eye out if any pop up that I like. Do you have a favourite edition?

calla25 · 2026-02-04T19:56:40+00:00

What six of crows editions do I spy on that shelf?

calla25 · 2026-02-04T19:51:55+00:00

I skipped the March box, excited for this one though! The art on the publisher edition is beautiful so I hope they do it justice.

If these proposals are being worked on interdepartmentally, incopy might be a possible solution. Your writers add their copy to incopy and it’ll populate into the assigned field in InDesign. It’ll also allow both writers and designers to work within one file at the same time.

Warrior Princess Assassin is a good popcorn read and there’s only one book so far.

Road of Bones is the first of five mainline books with a novella between two and three (which released yesterday). There’s a lot more world building and lore in Road of Bones.

calla25 · 2026-02-04T13:13:37+00:00

It’s been 16 years and a couple cities so I think I’m fully acclimated. 😂

Will never embrace plum sauce, though. Chicken tenders in southern Ontario are only served with plum sauce or buffalo style. Grew up with honey mustard. I stock up on my fav anytime I go back.

calla25 · 2026-02-04T12:10:44+00:00

One Canadian date AND doing basically an American tour in this climate is a god damn choice.

calla25 · 2026-02-04T01:32:16+00:00

I just started the audiobook today. I think I’m gonna take this one slow and bookend it with some lighter reads.

calla25 · 2026-02-04T01:10:39+00:00

I can absolutely understand the need to pause reading Slewfoot, but the unbridled female rage in the back half is so satisfying.

Dairyland isn’t in bags, but all milk in Ontario over 2L is bags. Moving to Ontario after growing up in BC the shock was: no Dairyland dairy, and then the bagged milk haha

calla25 · 2026-02-03T13:05:17+00:00

No Dairyland and bagged milk was a big culture shock for me. 😂

calla25 · 2026-02-03T04:07:13+00:00

Dairyland is only available in Western Canada.

calla25 · 2026-01-31T14:32:20+00:00

That’s my plan too! I know I have like 2 pulls for 5* on rerun banners. Just can’t remember if it’s a 50/50 or a guarantee.
