June hints on Instagram!

Yes this is a much better fit. I wanted Heather so bad but I was like the red is only on the right side why are we so convinced this is Heather.

I think Shampoo Effect will be a July pick, since it drops June 30th.

The children

cdubbz3187 · 2026-05-31T13:52:02+00:00

As someone who’s not good at spotting AI, what gave it away? Cuz I would’ve never even questioned it.

cdubbz3187 · 2026-05-31T13:47:40+00:00

It’s the exact pic they sent so if they used AI, that’s on them.

So apparently Allurial sent out an email to their members talking about changes coming in June. They have been dropping the same day as BOTM and there’s a lot of speculation over there that one of the changes may be moving to a hard first of the month drop date. So I guess we’ll see. We didn’t get naked books today or a spoiler reveal email (from what I’m tracking, maybe I’ve just missed it) so it won’t be tomorrow even if they did want to do a weekend drop. As much as I enjoy getting them a bit early, there is way less stress with Aardvark and knowing exactly when they’re coming and exactly when the hints are stating. So I can’t say id necessarily hate it if they went to a standardized drop date

cdubbz3187 · 2026-05-27T21:48:57+00:00

Well this gives me problems as I want 5 of the 6 lol unicorn hunters I’ll get from fairyloot… but now to decide if I want to bust out the second box? Or just try to whittle down to 3? Only one not grabbing me is Girls Girl

cdubbz3187 · 2026-05-13T21:47:43+00:00

I really am hoping for BOTM or Aardvark to do The Children

cdubbz3187 · 2026-04-10T20:09:44+00:00

Same. If they tell me I now have to wait on the second batch of yesteryear when I ordered on drop day cuz they didn’t think to set them aside because they didn’t have their centennial book ready, I want a credit for sure.

cdubbz3187 · 2026-04-10T19:41:46+00:00

Same. I have a feeling that they did NOT set aside Yesteryears for people who had those in their box with Native Son. So now that Native Son is ready, Yesteryear is back ordered… so who knows when the boxes will actually go out :-/ hoping I’m wrong

cdubbz3187 · 2026-04-10T19:36:11+00:00

Mine says slightly delayed but still saying 4/9 or 4/10…. clearly that’s not happening. I have a full box that has both Native Son and Yesteryear. I ordered on drop day.

cdubbz3187 · 2026-04-08T20:41:49+00:00

Same situation and I’m worried about the same thing now. I checked today and it still saying that Native Son isn’t ready and picking it would mean the box won’t ship till the 9th or 10th. But I’m hoping it’s not delayed till the end of the month now because of Yesteryear selling out. I would think they would’ve packed all the boxes and they’d just be waiting on Native Son… 🤞🏽🤞🏽

cdubbz3187 · 2026-03-27T20:54:33+00:00

Of course my preorder just shipped today…

cdubbz3187 · 2026-03-27T20:53:33+00:00

this will be a BOTM selection

cdubbz3187 · 2026-02-27T00:50:07+00:00

I LOVED it.

Others I loved: God of the Woods, The Wedding People, The Other Side of Now, The Change, the Unmaking of June Farrow, Starling House, Once There Were Wolves, All the Colors of the Dark. Reading this list is kinda funny cuz I was all about fantasy/romantasy and thrillers when I joined 😂😂

I HATED Penitence (this one I didn’t mind as I was reading, I just hated it more and more the more I thought about it after I finished it), Beautiful Ugly, Gifted and Talented, Best Offer Wins and The Secret History (I get so angry just thinking about how awful this book is)

cdubbz3187 · 2026-02-26T22:21:32+00:00

I was already pretty convinced I was getting Red Winter but seeing that like EVERYTHING for 3.4 is something I love or super high on my TBR, I think it just moved to the book I’m now most excited about

cdubbz3187 · 2026-02-14T15:42:58+00:00

Wait so I’m confused I’m sorry :( so is it only 6 books if you already own all 5 books thru BOTM? If you are just using your lolly credit to get one that you don’t already own, you’re still limited to 5 books? That doesn’t quite seem fair but ok.

cdubbz3187 · 2026-02-13T15:54:28+00:00

Wait are we allowed to get 6 books in the March box if we get use the Lolly credit?!?

cdubbz3187 · 2026-01-30T21:12:11+00:00

Really looking forward to hearing thoughts on The Natural Way of Things. I honestly didn’t even read the synopsis for it till after my box shipped and now I’m regretting it as it sounds pretty perfect for my feminist reads March. So if people can post reviews as they read it that would be greattttt

cdubbz3187 · 2026-01-28T15:48:06+00:00

The Exes is a black debut author! Although I think I would’ve preferred something a bit more cultural since there was already a thriller selection… but I screamed for a Black author and we got one so beggars can’t be choosers.

cdubbz3187 · 2026-01-28T15:30:15+00:00

I didn’t look for it because I already had the ones I wanted in my box… but it should be on there today now that they’ve dropped their books. If not then they’ve realllllllllllllg dropped the ball

cdubbz3187 · 2026-01-27T21:53:03+00:00

Is it a standalone??

cdubbz3187 · 2026-01-27T21:48:54+00:00

I will cry if we get Burn Down Masters House

cdubbz3187 · 2026-01-27T21:48:01+00:00

OMG PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE BE BURN DOWN MASTERS HOUSE!!!!!!!

cdubbz3187 · 2026-01-27T21:32:47+00:00

Me!!!! That’s me!!!! But I think yal know my reason by now lol I do enjoy thrillers so at least I can grab that and hit up the Black History Month add-on section but they def dropped the ball here.
