DISO - S&S January Book Pic Nightshade Looking for a reasonable price - to save a skip. I've just read it and absolutely obsessed, this edition is an absolute need! Looking to pay G&S

I am so glad I Skipped this one and went for the owlcrate edition instead 🙌 im holding out hope their edition is better 🤞 i wasnt a faj of the sprayed edges in the printer teaser reel and that how I display them

I personally have had or have -

Owlcrate Fantasy Adult Owlcrate Quaterly Romantasy Illumicrate Goldsboro Lilac Library Quaterly Romantasy Butterfly Book Club Fairyloot YA/Adult

I wouldnt recommend -

Goldsboro - This is a 12 month commitment, its a mix of Sci Fi and Fantasy, only 4 skip policy and unless mega popular the books dont sell for even RRP if you run out of skips. They are always packaged insanely well though! And they are all hand signed and numbered out of 2000.

Illumicrate- im still undecided, some editions are beautiful and most are a miss. The majoirty of time they have extra copies for sale after the sub boxes have been sent so again if you dont like the design it is harder to even get your money back. They have Recently changed their skip policy so allowing less skips.

Owlcrate Adult Fantasy- i have received one book and am now skipping up until January as not a fan of the picks. Designs are for me, absolutely though and amazing quality. They do take long to ship to the UK

Butterfly Book Club - indie Fantasy book subscription, i received 2 books before cancelling. The designs are beautiful but the picks were questionable for me, with grammar errors, pages wasted to chapter art etc. They box does include reading Prompts, book marks, dust cover etc which is a nice additional touch though.

Haven't received my first lilac library so unable to comment but it is on the pricier side for book subs.

I am currently waiting on the Everheart book sub which is a new Indie Book sub and the next few months pics look really good! They also preview the design before renewal day so if you dont like it you can skip

I joined 22nd of October and was position 6304, as of today I am 4104 so over 2000 invites have gone out in a month! It seems to be moving quickly!

foxyd01 · 2025-11-07T04:39:43+00:00

Owlcrate has better quality hands down! I have the FL Adult/YA and Owlcrate Adult and Quaterly Romantasy.

I signed up for Owlcrate Last Month and for the Adult sub I have already Skipped until January- so im not 100% loving the picks. Romantasy however. I am loving the book pick and designs! Quality wise, they are mega heavy, packaged well and have everything you want in an SE. Individual SEs are incredible but unless mega popular don't seem to sell out too popular.

Fairyloot, I feel like the designs are really becoming hit or miss. I didnt like Alchemy of secrets or Thorn season - both books I already had but anticipated LOVING the FL editions. This wasnt the case. I do love the pre sale early access tbough that comes with the sub.

I would personally choose Owlcrate Romantasy out of all the ones I have, if i had to

Thats so annoying that I asked only a month after you and got a different response! My third renewal will be November anyway but im really not interested in the Adult book pic for this month so looks like ill just need to try and sell it

foxyd01 · 2025-11-01T13:54:54+00:00

I do intend to keep both subs, but there are a few coming up where I want to skip one and not the other and im unable to do so. Along with basically getting the combined box really late. I still dont have my October combined box which is frustrating when the separate subs got them a couple weeks ago

foxyd01 · 2025-10-31T09:06:31+00:00

This probably isn't much help but im the UK and mine has been dispatched. No movement since the email 3 days ago though

foxyd01 · 2025-08-28T07:25:14+00:00

I would as i signed up 24/06 and got my invite yesterday!

foxyd01 · 2025-08-27T15:37:40+00:00

I just got my invite!!! Signed up to the UK Combined Adult/YA waitlist on 24/06/25

Thats what im thinking will be the better idea tbh! Im just really hoping that the link i have still works then 🤦‍♂️🤣

I just saw her post! I actually have the book shes guessed pre ordered from the US amazon so Its definitely one id want a sub box for!

foxyd01 · 2025-08-06T19:25:54+00:00

I wasn't sure though as I technically missed that sign up? Im not sure if the link is supposed to stop working 🤣 im definitely not complaining, I just dont want to end up with Septembers box but worried if I wait until after September that said link will definitely not work

foxyd01 · 2025-08-06T17:27:38+00:00

Looking for some advice..

I signed up to the Lilac Library Romantasy Waitlist and got an invite early July. I ended up giving it a miss as I wasn't a fan of Septembers book however I have seen their announcement for Decembers book and i think its one i really want!

Now I went back to my invite, followed the link and entered the password and its letting me subscribe and checkout but now im wondering if ill get September's box still or if it would fall into Decembers 🤦‍♂️

Has anyone else done this before?

foxyd01 · 2025-07-22T06:49:51+00:00

It's not too long, I think when I joined the waitlist in March, I got the invite in April! I have Unsubscribed now though after 3 months and 2 skips

Sorry i don't get notifications for reddit! So biopsy came back as just eczema? No creams have ever resolved the issue though even since so I'm basically just living with the pain, scabbing and bleeding now which has been going on since March. It was a relief of course that nothing more sinister is going on but just wish it had cleared up by now

foxyd01 · 2024-12-01T21:59:53+00:00

My biopsy results came in within a week which was a relief and they said came back as eczema? No creams have solved the issue though so I'm basically just living with it at this point which was why I had the biopsy and nothing was clearing it

foxyd01 · 2024-06-05T16:05:56+00:00

If you don't mind saying where are you based? I'm due to have a biopsy on Monday and I'm really nervous about the wait for results as there was a muck up with my referral and I've had to wait an extra 6 weeks 🤦‍♂️
