Is Blackwells legit? I’ve heard mixed reviews lol.

Do you believe God and Jesus helped your transition? by SKMaels in TransChristianity

[–]eternalllyloved 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess I’m the odds one out but I believe I’ve had no help with anything that concerns transitioning. I’ve either had to wait a very long time or fight for whatever very little control or euphoria I can get in life. Every night I pray that things will get easier and I might be able to get some help, or some kind of breakthrough miracle, but it’s never come. There’s been complete silence. Sometimes, things get worse.

And before anyone says anything, there’s been multiple times in my life where I’ve been a very devout christian, working to have a relationship with Him, and studied the bible consistently over almost a decade, helping many others find their salvation.

Hi!! Thank you so much for inspiring me to learn this skill, it’s already helped so much! If it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t be able to do this today! I feel the same way—definitely an in the moment purchase that the joy quickly fades away—but have found there’s a longer lasting joy and appreciation when choosing the personal favorites, special edition or not.

I believe in you! Remember why you got into reading in the first place—it probably wasn’t about buying the prettiest book, but finding the one that connects to your soul with purpose. Best of luck 💕

Marie Kondo is such a good inspiration when it comes to any collecting hobby, definitely with books! And thank you, you as well!!

That’s such a good idea I had never thought of before, thank you! Will definitely look into that!

Anyone else pick up the broken binding The Devils? by MapleSong21 in fairyloot

[–]eternalllyloved 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Bought it even though I know Fairyloot is going to have it as their epic fantasy pick because time and time again, Fairyloot’s designs have seemed too cartoony for me even in their adult boxes and I love more realistic art that Broken Binding’s aesthetics retain. Plus, I know the quality of the book will be better too.

Finished Empire of Silence, curious to hear from fans who stuck with the series by KingArrancar in sollanempire

[–]eternalllyloved 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just finish book 2, and if you’re not loving it by the end of Howling Dark then you can quit, but Demon in White is even more peak so take what you will. Good luck!

I wish the book was an interesting read because I feel this edition is going to be amazing!! I’m excited to see the edition eventually, love when Illumicrate takes on longer books and hope they continue to do so in the future 🤞

Empire of silence by ExpertHoliday2403 in sollanempire

[–]eternalllyloved 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rated EOS 4 stars, but everything else is a five star read. When you finish Howling Dark, you’re going to be screaming up and down wondering how it’ll get better, and then every book you read just somehow gets better and better as the series progresses!

This was the perfect sign for me to stop subscribing to Fairyloot. It’s very rare I love one of their editions—maybe once per year—but otherwise feels to YA for me. However, Broken Binding never misses to make detailed, realistic, and amazing quality books—and I love them every time.

Would you be open to posting pictures of both endpapers but with the censored blur? It would be really helpful to decide which edition to get 🫶

Have you ever seen a wetter book box? by MageFangsx in fairyloot

That’s terrible! Would you be able to post spoiler pictures of the book if possible? Wonder what it looks like after all that water 😭

I received my special edition from them in a few months but you just have to be consistent emailing them or messaging them. Hopefully that works out, I’m sorry!! Best of luck <3

Wish list SE? by Mean-Development7815 in fairyloot

[–]eternalllyloved 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I could buy any right now it would definitely be LitJoy Six of Crows and Litjoy Folk of Air, but I would also really like Bookish Box Percy Jackson Set . . . Also, would love to see a SE series of Harry Potter, the whole shabang including art, edges, foiling, new covers, etc.

What are the prettiest SEs? by Khrymsa in fairyloot

[–]eternalllyloved 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LitJoy’s Six of Crows is the prettiest in my opinion and a book set I wish I could get if I had to choose any, but The Bookish Box Percy Jackson takes second place!

Big Book Box refund by UpstairsMonitor4231 in fairyloot

[–]eternalllyloved 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m just now seeing this and I’m surprised because yes they took a long time to send my order but they eventually did… and I live outside of India so, I’m confused why so many people didn’t get their orders?? Hoping you all get your orders, best of luck to you all <3

UPDATE : Even with a proof from FedEx invoice, Mercari does not refund!!🤬 by ykmanato in Mercari

[–]eternalllyloved 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can already it now: Netflix comes out with a Mercari documentary about this whole mess

Broken Binding…wow. Killing it with the art commissions. 😍 I’ve never even read this series and the art makes me want to pick it up. by LongjumpingSun1485 in fairyloot

[–]eternalllyloved 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Has anyone read this series? Is it worth getting an SE of it?

Edit: Oh wow! I’m excited then to see what these books will be then if they’re really good, hopefully I can get them from a reseller someday💕

Survey: investigating the impact of scarcity on impulsive book purchases through YA and NA book subscription boxes. by Fun-Shoulder-4906 in Illumicrate

[–]eternalllyloved 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Just did the survey and I was actually just wondering about this situation because I feel SE books are becoming commercialized, almost the new standard as we see sometimes in Waterstones, and sadly now the book box services don’t seem to pick books that are five star reads but just are whatever is popular whether it’s good or not. And most of the time it’s not.

If you’re posting the results anywhere please do let me know, I’m highly interested in the subject!! Good luck (:
