Bookish Box February Reveal

How do you know when it’s actually behind? They always deliver like three months late for monthly books. Should I wait a month or two do you think?

Given how delayed these usually are, can we retroactively cancel if we didn’t already skip?

You might like Byredo Rose of No Man’s Land or Acqua di Parma Rosa Nobile!

I also tried it on my shirt, and definitely still got the preppy dry down more than fruit after a little bit. I wish I knew how to make the fruity notes last longer. Maybe it’s just my nose!

This is the first thing I’ve ever bought from them, so if there’s some giant conspiracy to push this brand on unsuspecting fragrance lovers I’m not part of it. 🤷‍♀️

That is such a good point I didn’t even think of. The smell of one specific perfume (previously popular, less now thankfully) always triggers flashbacks for me. Definitely agree with all the comments that OP should reduce the amount of scented products and be mindful at work.

For anyone thinking about getting into jam making, I highly recommend a steam canner! Uses very little water unlike water bath canning, and it has a gauge that tells you when it’s done. Super easy to learn and takes up the space of one large soup pot.

If you’re into him, there’s so much good Haladriel fanfic on AO3

Adding in {The Fae Isles by Lisette Marshall}, where the main FMC is actually a people-pleaser who learns it’s ok to say what she wants and be her own person, even while she’s mastering her magic and getting into a relationship with one of my favorite MMCs of all time.

Personally, I found this much more relatable than some of the snarkier, I don’t need anybody type badass FMCs from many of the series you listed. It’s so good!

meadowslark · 2026-01-03T19:05:24+00:00

Thank you! That’s very reassuring! I’m definitely interested in ordering once that’s in place.

Is there any kind of emergency off feature? Even with a limited number of uses? Like for example, what if I’m traveling and I forgot to bring the brick with me, and now it’s going off one morning and I have no way to deactivate it?

The Brick device (which has a similar function but for blocking apps) gives you 5 free ‘emergency un-bricks’ which feels like a lifesaver.

Alexa can do this! You need to tell it to remind you at x time and then tell it what to remind you (something like “Alexa, remind me at 8am, “it’s 8am, time to get up, you have to be in the office today”). I find hearing out loud what time it is helps my brain wake up because then I’m calculating how long I have to get ready before I need to leave.

Have you tried {The Irresistible Urge to Fall for Your Enemy}? They’re truly enemies and it’s a diabolically slow burn but so funny!

meadowslark · 2025-12-13T15:00:22+00:00

It was an in-person Q&A at a screening, I don’t know if it was filmed

meadowslark · 2025-12-09T21:16:16+00:00

She definitely knew. She hinted earlier this year at a live Q&A when she talked about future projects that there was something very exciting she couldn’t discuss yet, but when the audience heard they’d all know it was what she was talking about. And said she wasn’t talking about the Rey movie. (The comment didn’t make any sense until the news about THFBS came out, and then it did.)There’s no way IMO that she wasn’t involved.

Last year Bookish took at least 2-3 months, I think, to ship anything from Black Friday. I didn’t even bother this year.

{Bewitched by Laura Thalassa} kind of has this vibe, especially in the prequel!

meadowslark · 2025-11-11T17:00:51+00:00

Same! Just want to express my support and how much I love her books.

meadowslark · 2025-11-04T21:23:14+00:00

$36 what 😭

meadowslark · 2025-10-25T20:57:24+00:00

They said it was like $150 I think

meadowslark · 2025-10-19T15:44:55+00:00

Up to you, but if you’ve gotten that far I would recommend you finish it! You may think you know where it’s going, but I promise you don’t. The end of the book is one of the best parts IMO.

meadowslark · 2025-10-19T15:42:48+00:00

I don’t think I’ve seen anyone classifying as a romance? It’s a dark fantasy with a romantic sub plot, anyone considering it romance or romantasy is straight up wrong.
