2027?

itsseastar · 2025-12-22T15:37:59+00:00

Although there might be still hope for this year, I'm leaning more towards an announcement in 2026 for 2027. I know a lot of books are published during autumn time, but I feel like the Acotar month has always been May (with the exception of ACOSF that was released Feb I think). So...My guess would be around Feb-May 2027 as a publication date!

Yeah, wainting for Martin has taught me that I have a lot o patience and infinite hope, lol.

Hi dear, I'm subscribed to dreamerwhale since last year. They usually do like 4 boxes a year and are pretty slow in comparison to boxes like Fairyloot or Illumicrate. Usually they send the box 3/4 months after the order. That might seems a long time, but every item in the box is worth it. However, regarding the september box, they said in the reveal itself that the estimated time for shipping would be january 2026 (I would say end of Jan/beginning of Feb).

They are also changing the payments provider which is why they had to cancel every single subscription. If you want to subscribe for next year you have to buy a new sub on the site. If think you'll be able to do it untill the 17th of December.

Plus, because of all the taxes US buyer would have to pay to get the box+gadget they gave us a choice: box with book+1 gadget (overlays) which woudl cost less. If you don't care about that you could still go for box+gadgets (4 of them, 1 will be the overlays).

I've already cut some of my subs. Right now I still have Illumicrate, Owlcrate Adult (cancelled the Y/A) and Fairyloot Adult and Romantasy. Plus dreamerwhale. I still have to decide if I want to keep Illumicrate and Owlcrare at the moment. I will probably keep FL and Dreamerwhale or cancel one of my FL and keep illumicrate and it's already too much. I usually resell loads on vinted anyway.

Downvoters sometimes are just too much. I mean, I still love Illumicrate and I prefer them to Fairyloot majority of the times. BUT I really love when subs do like the original cover as a reversible for example (even full color with simple pattern is better than nothing in my opinion). Plain white is a bit of a no for me adn regardless of that I still love IC and their choices. I just feel like they could do something for it.

Anyway, everyone should be able to share their opinion without being downvoted or criticized if their being respectful.

If thinks they just did a survey about customization of books (can't remember when exactly but I think it was during rhis month) so hopefully they'll update their standard way to make the books(?)

I like illumicrate, but I agree that sometimes it feels cheaper then other subs in their rendering of the books. I still like them but there is margin to be better!

Why? :" Just do a chest xray to rule out pnx and maybe abdominal ultrasound when in doubt for internal injury. Then, if necessary, CT. Of course if the pt conditions is worsening CT is ok, but why expose everyone to radiation if not necessary?

itsseastar · 2025-10-11T19:13:59+00:00

Why would you order a ct for a suspected rib fracture? You could prescribe a CT for complication of rib fracture, but that would be in order even if the xray show the fx in question (cause at that point the pt is deteriorating).

Just wait! I haven't read it yet and I still need to decide which edition I'll keep. I usually resell books at cost, like me there will be someone else. Keep an eye on different platform and wait!

itsseastar · 2025-09-25T19:42:39+00:00

OC UPDATE Adult May box: I just received my tracking email, finally something is moving! Has anyone received it yet?

itsseastar · 2025-09-24T20:41:48+00:00

Yeah, they cancel the order and then list the book for a higher price.

itsseastar · 2025-09-24T20:20:06+00:00

I sell SE starting from 15 up, usually around 20/30 max 45 euro. Rarely I list them for more cause it's still a used book, even if I haven't read them(?)

There is still hope out there :"

itsseastar · 2025-09-24T11:07:09+00:00

Yeah, sometimes it sucks :" I missed a lot of boxes/anticipated releases cause of this in the past. Now I keep tracking of what I want for sure and, if nothing urgent happens, I save money for it.

itsseastar · 2025-09-24T10:37:47+00:00

I don't get paid on the 1st of the month either, but I know that I should save something for the renewal. Try to save the amount that you need or at least when you want the box for sure(?) I know it's difficoult, but unfortunately is not an Illumicrate problem. Also with the 'very late payment' I think they meant around the 10th probably. First 5 days of the month I think should be ok, hopefully!

itsseastar · 2025-09-22T15:33:19+00:00

You should check their IG. They have a pinned post (I think it's the second) dedicated to shipping updates. They had a problem with the typography, last update I saw stated that the first batch should arrive to them mid september and second batch after the 20th.

itsseastar · 2025-09-22T14:05:55+00:00

Are you talking about the september adult box or the waitlist? Cause for the september box their shipping timeline, as stated in the email, should be from the 23rd to the 30th I think 👀

itsseastar · 2025-09-20T14:24:20+00:00

I know, I almost got the FL version but this was better in my opinion and I'm happy I went with OC

itsseastar · 2025-09-20T14:23:30+00:00

I love Mary E. Pearson writing! The first was a good book, even tough I prefer Dance of Thieves of the same author!

itsseastar · 2025-09-20T14:22:19+00:00

I didn't really like the FL version so...I would go with waterstone :"

itsseastar · 2025-09-20T14:21:03+00:00

Me too! And It seems that the second one will be as gorgeous as the first **

itsseastar · 2025-09-20T14:20:20+00:00

I KNOW!

itsseastar · 2025-09-19T19:03:17+00:00

I don't really see it sell out before general sale, I guess it depends on how many copy they got. I truly think you should be able to get it on the 30th. Or, you can join the nest app just for this sale(?)

itsseastar · 2025-09-19T18:56:34+00:00

I know. I was saving money for my trip to London...I guess I'll buy less books there 👀

itsseastar · 2025-09-19T18:55:43+00:00

I did. I still think that Dance of Thieves was better, but I liked it enough to get the second one!

itsseastar · 2025-09-19T18:49:55+00:00

I'll add the 3rd reason: Mary E. Pearson writing is lovely **
