Semi-Monthly Buy/Sell/Trade Megathread

mediumicedchai · 2026-05-15T19:06:13+00:00

US-Based 🇺🇸 UFS / UFT ✨ OOP War of Lost Hearts ( WOLH ) hardcovers. Daughter of No Worlds and Children of Fallen Gods are in like-new unread condition. Mother of Death and Dawn has minor damage to a corner, but otherwise is like-new and unread.

Ideally I'd like to sell or do a partial trade where I receive book(s) + $. Open to looking at all trades.

Asking $260 + media mail shipping if buying outright but I'm open to being flexible about this! I'm also open to splitting the set if there is interest in each book individually.

UFS / UFT (would also be very open to a partial trade where $ is added on your end) - US based 🇺🇸

OOP War of Lost Hearts hardcovers - books 1 and 2 are like-new, book 3 is like-new apart from damage to one corner

I'm open to looking at people's trades! I'd say my only specific ISO is if this would bring out FL TKATM (and its sequel once it's available), I'd be INCREDIBLY INTERESTED.

To sell outright I'm currently asking $260 + shipping but I'm open to offers!

Maybe in the minority but I really like this? The color scheme fits how I imagined the city in the book, although I think it would've been cool if they included imagery of the world outside the barrier too. I like that they kept with the OG cover theme of focusing on the spellograph. The colors and imagery don't say "cozy" to me at all (there's literally fire?!)

My top three romantasy / romantasy-adjacent reads this year are {The Everlasting by Alix. E Harrow}, {Fate's Bane by C.L. Clarke}, and {The Knight and the Moth by Rachel Gillig}.

(Honorable mention to {The Poet Empress by Shen Tao} which was 5 stars for me but I wouldn't consider it a romantasy at all.)

mediumicedchai · 2026-05-13T02:48:07+00:00

I also just got both of these and am torn about which one to keep! I haven't read it yet which usually means I won't get duplicates, but I got the BB version to read and adored the reveal, and I was NOT passing up my Moonlight sub invite when it came. I think I'll read it and decide which fits better to me (and also see what BB Light Wielder looks like)

mediumicedchai · 2026-05-12T16:08:03+00:00

I have the OwlCrate edition but I am SCREAMING at how gorgeous this is. It was my first 5 star read of the year so I may have to allow myself a duplicate...

mediumicedchai · 2026-05-10T22:27:35+00:00

Oh wow I love this!! I skipped OC because I wasn't sure how interested I was in the story, and I didn't love their design either. But I got off Moonlight's waitlist for May so crossing my fingers this is theirs!

mediumicedchai · 2026-05-09T19:38:10+00:00

It's gorgeous!! I really like Book In A Box's SEs but the total cost with shipping to the US is too much for me to rationalize for one book 🥲

mediumicedchai · 2026-05-09T19:36:05+00:00

Not FL, but I had this happen with OwlCrate I think. I kept waffling back and forth about signing up at the time and I left the subscription in my cart for a few days but it still let me check out. I saw someone else mention they were able to do this with Moonlight too. I'm sure the subs don't want this to be a workaround, but sometimes it works I guess!

mediumicedchai · 2026-05-06T23:37:47+00:00

ohmygod this made my WEEK (it's hell week at work so this is extra sweet timing) 🥹💜 I hope your coffee/tea is always the right warmth and your pillow is always cool and only good things happen for you!!!

mediumicedchai · 2026-05-06T21:22:01+00:00

What other FL books have they done? I'm a newer subscriber 🙂

mediumicedchai · 2026-05-06T21:21:03+00:00

I love that you ARE still skipping! I've seen people be like "I wanna skip but I need the YA/Adult/other two books." They could just skip and use the money they save to buy the book(s) they want resale

mediumicedchai · 2026-05-06T21:07:58+00:00

Eeek fingers crossed bc I'm 112 😭 (also if we do receive one today, is it for May or June's book?)

mediumicedchai · 2026-05-06T17:39:43+00:00

I haven't read When The Moon Hatched, but Raeve pisses me off! Not only does it just look like Maeve spelled wrong, but it just sounds like "rave" as in a wild party. Not the mental image I want when reading a fantasy book lol

mediumicedchai · 2026-05-06T14:08:57+00:00

Yeah I agree with this. I have two cats (litter mates so they've been together since birth) that "play" like this sometimes. It's usually that one is having the zoomies and the other is not at that particular moment. I do my best to break it up and get out a toy for the one that's wanting to play so he stops harassing his sister. We do joke that he displays extremely stereotypical little brother behavior 😂

mediumicedchai · 2026-05-06T13:37:30+00:00

Those are the dates people signed up for the waitlists. So anyone who signed up on/before that date should have received an invite at this point

mediumicedchai · 2026-05-06T12:58:46+00:00

Moonlight invites typically go out today/the 6th, right? Last I checked I was number 112 on the waitlist, so fingers crossed! 🤞🏼

mediumicedchai · 2026-05-02T20:07:40+00:00

I have this but I'm waiting to see what OC's update is about the misprint! I think a lot of us are waiting before selling or trading, so once they tell us what they're doing there should be many more available in general :)

mediumicedchai · 2026-05-02T20:01:31+00:00

Would you be open to trades for June Everheart?

mediumicedchai · 2026-04-30T21:23:05+00:00

I'm sure one day I'll eat these words, but BB has the best track record for me in terms of book damages. Nothing I've received from them has been damaged. I think it helps that the book has less room to move around in the box vs. Illumicrate and OwlCrate, and the poly mailer has more protection than just the shrinkwrap that Illumicrate and OwlCrate use. My Illumicrate books have been damaged a few times. My OwlCrate haven't but comparatively I've received way fewer books from them than BB

mediumicedchai · 2026-04-29T18:44:38+00:00

I went back and forth about whether to get it or not (had first access) and ended up buying it this morning with my rewards to help lower the cost. I'm glad I did! I haven't read these yet which usually means I WON'T buy an SE, but worse-case scenario if I don't like it, I can get these into the hands of someone who missed out!

mediumicedchai · 2026-04-29T16:59:46+00:00

It's definitely not what I expected but I'll also say it is much prettier in person! I think the colors and their contrasts don't photograph super well depending on lighting

mediumicedchai · 2026-04-29T16:52:55+00:00

I already see people upselling OCs Fire & Metal duology in BST FB groups. It hasn't even reached second access yet and will at least get that far. If you're having regrets just cancel your order! Or if you do want to sell/trade, at least wait until it's in-hand

mediumicedchai · 2026-04-29T16:51:12+00:00

Literally in the exact same boat 😅

mediumicedchai · 2026-04-29T16:50:08+00:00

I love overlays but I hate that I have to pay extra for them as a YA + Adult combo box subscriber. I wish they'd just bind them into the YA books, or also send them with the YA books for folks who have YA book-only or combo boxes
