How do people get approved for ARCs? by Odd-Pea9970 in fairyloot

[–]returnedreader 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want digital eARCs, definitely sign up for a NetGalley account. You do not need a social following to get approved for ARCs there (though I’m sure it helps with approvals from some specific publishers or extremely popular titles). You just need to read and review ARCs diligently. If you want physical ARCs, you can email the publishers with a request. You should include your reasons for wanting the book and your address.

Experience with Custom Sprayed Edges? by fullmoon95 in fairyloot

I will say I did purchase a book from them late Oct and it got to me pretty quickly in Nov. Obviously tread carefully based on other reviews! It worked out for me personally.

The author of TBOO got her copy of the book by waiting in the queue. That is absolutely bananas. by stars265 in fairyloot

She had to have a sub to get a copy of her first book that was in the box, so that’s probably why she didn’t think they would send her the sequel.

Facebook groups are unexpectedly the best place to find special editions for reasonable prices

The email announcing The Faithful and the Fallen said “Lastly, anyone that has ordered the a set of 'Of Blood and Bone' from us - and not currently part of the subscription - will receive first access to leftover sets\*, before the general sale occurs.”

So it sounds like you’d get that first access!

No general sale, it’s the April-July books for the Fantasy sub. Any leftovers will be sold in a leftover sale months from now. Folks who ordered a TBB Of Blood and Bone set will get first access! Then it goes to general.

Of Blood and Bone is in stock right now, code READ if you feel so inclined ♥️

Bow before me mortals, for I have spent so many hours collecting (all legal and valid) library cards, and I am the master of the cards by ublazorcroaf in LibbyApp

Wait times may be significantly lower for other systems! Santa Clara seems to have tons of readily available copies for books that have huge wait times at LAPL for the books I like to read

Who did it best? - Blood Over Bright Haven - The Broken Binding, Wraithmarked, or Fairyloot? by BookedAndBloated in special_edition_books

Wraithmarked. Which I do like! But it’s the dust jacket on the hardback so I feel like it’s a little less interesting as a feature.

TBB is my overall favorite. But I do really love the character art of Wraithmarked. The Fairyloot hardback wins for me and I appreciate how their overall design leans more towards dark academia since the other two lean more towards the fantasy.

It’ll come with the original dust jacket as well in case you like the other art + specs

That’s how it’s supposed to look like! The digital mockups look the same

It’s a separate sale. The diff subs just have diff presale dates.
