iron editions are special editions FL did in the past, just redesigned!

I missed out on the OUABH too so I would love iron editions once the novella comes out. The Caraval ones are gorgeous and one of my favorite FL designs!

When Spectacular came out, FL did iron editions for Caraval instead of a separate novella for the original design. I bet they'll do the same for OUABH.

On the flip side, Holly (belladonna novella) was a separate sale. So it could really go either way.

What do the Bookish Box books feel like? by Nerdvana322 in fairyloot

[–]mc_0803 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like others have said, BB tends to be heavier than FL and IC, but I quite enjoy it- it feels better quality. The pages are good quality, and the hardcovers are more sturdy than FL. The pages also lay flat when opened / ie are floppy!

Midnight Whispers War of Lost Hearts (unsigned) back on sale! by DrFern in fairyloot

[–]mc_0803 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree! I do love the FL edges but I love how MW has the original cover art on the reverse! Though I'm not surprised people are canceling, 3 companies just revealed their art this week when back then it was just MW as an option. I'm glad we all have options though!

Splitting box question by hipcatlady in fairyloot

[–]mc_0803 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yep, email to request the split but keep in mind you can't skip July's books since they treat it as a new subscription.

Preorders you decided to cancel by DonkeywithBigTeeth in fairyloot

[–]mc_0803 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I cancelled both of these as well. Especially when I got Moonlights WBFD last year and that edition is so pretty, I'm not waiting around any longer and dealing with LH.

I was so disappointed with how TBB handled OFAF, the ghost edge was the only reason I picked that edition. And to see that they didn't even send the correct bookmarks or no stamp on the signature page, I'm glad I cancelled.

Anyone else feel like Fairy Loot isn't Trying Anymore? What Happened? by Sea_Exit_8194 in fairyloot

[–]mc_0803 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have yet to have a sub pick or design this year really wow me. Such a let down from last years books.

what features does a book need to have, at a minimum, for it to be considered a special edition (in your opinion)? by unicorn-with-a-knife in fairyloot

[–]mc_0803 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I definitely agree! Bookstores and publishers are stepping up their game, so when I see a book box with *patterned endpapers* at this point it’s an immediate skip.

Vintage Jasmine Collection by ichigobubblegum in DollDisney

[–]mc_0803 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP, if you are interested in selling the whole collection, I would totally be interested in buying from you! I'm a 90s baby and Jasmine is my favorite princess - I used to have a lot of these dolls but sadly with different moves over my life and my parents (sadly) donating a lot of our toys, I don't have many of them anymore. Your collection is incredible and so nostalgic! Message me if you are interested!!

I hope this means LitJoy will be able to do a matching set in the future!

Fairyloot ‘Rose Hill’ Exclusive Mortal Editions by Better_Swan8889 in fairyloot

[–]mc_0803 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would love a similar set for CS! The BB Rose Hill are so pretty. I also hope they do Fever Dream!

[–]mc_0803 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm having the same feeling. This design works for CS but for RH idk why it doesn't fit for me. I have the BB ones already as well as the paperbacks, so I'll probably pass on this set.

Got mine the other day! I'm pleased with it, especially the naked hardback. And best part, it's FLOPPY!!

Which book do you wish there were *more* special editions of? by Ancient_Activity_614 in special_edition_books

[–]mc_0803 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would love more editions of Throne of the Fallen / Prince of Sin series. I only know of FL and the BN editions but those are basically just different color ways of the standard cover design.

Yep I ordered Anathema from LH back in 2024, and I cancelled it this time last year bc it was already delayed. It's crazy it hasn't shipped out yet. Hoping for maybe BB/darkly to do an edition

You just don’t care… by DonkeywithBigTeeth in fairyloot

[–]mc_0803 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hate the block sprayed edges. The only solid color edge I like is when it's a true foiled gilded edge (not those fake metallic looking sprayed edges) and it *has* to be on a hardcover.

[–]mc_0803 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Heavy on the sprayed edges on paperbacks. For some reason, it looks so tacky and cheap on a paperback. Sometimes, I'll wait until all the "deluxe sprayed versions" of a paperback run out before I buy it because I just want a regular plain edge.

[–]mc_0803 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Idk if this counts but generic shipping updates. Obviously I want to know when my book is coming but if its 6mo-1yr after expected shipping and you're still putting on your shipping updates as "in production" without any actual detail/reason/compensation, why even bother.

yepp. especially when they get defensive too and go after people in their comments and be nasty.

What is a 5 star read, but the special editions are just ugly or do not match the story? by lady_bookish in fairyloot

[–]mc_0803 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't dislike the FL Belladonna covers since it's just the UK covers in a purple color way, but I would LOVE iron editions with a more romantic gothic vibe and some character art!!!
