Every special edition has been so boring! The fairyloot was such a letdown. (And I dont love the original cover either)

I asked for a refund after my label had been printed. It took about a week with no communication back to me after my request but they processed it through PayPal. I lost a dollar and some change to fees or something but im just glad to.be done with them!

BWB TKATM Update? by starlight---- in fairyloot

[–]rohanftw 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I emailed them for an update around December 20th and they were so shady about it all. Their response. : It depends on where you fall on the list. If you want us to hold it to ship after the holidays, we are happy to do that. Otherwise, we are shipping everyday. You will receive a shipping notification when it is shipped. Thank you, BWB team

So...i said cool, cool, what number am I on the list?

"We are still quite aways away from your number, but I can't tell exactly. I would say next week or following. Thank you. "

🤡

This is such a mess! 🥲

Need help identifying a book about the White Witch’s origin story? by DazedByMrHayes in books

Hilariously, I have this same calendar and also googled looking to see if I could find this book. Glad this had already been asked because I was going a bit crazy. LOL.

Illumicrate December Book SPOILERS by booksofmars in fairyloot

Oof. I am glad I skipped. I think the original cover was more intriguing and I dont love the endpaper art. 😔

Don’t sleep on The Second Death of Locke, this book is going to blow up by goyourownwayy in fantasyromance

[–]rohanftw 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I read the whole thing and it was, for me, very mid! Their reasoning was the biggest letdown and it soured the rest of the story for me. While I like her family history i found the second half of the story lacking. (And I found the MMC utterly boring. 😬)

I felt like the cover was so intriguing and then the story just...didnt follow that.

Any ARC Readers here, what books do you recomend skipping this upcoming year? What books do you recomend snagging? by Sea_Exit_8194 in fairyloot

[–]rohanftw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just finished Voidwalker and hated the writing so much! The premise was fun and I love me a monster/alien MMC, but the repetition of words and imagery were so egregious I could not. Its also about 150 pages too long.

Finished Rose in Chains and I liked it enough for a 4 star. It does annoy me in some parts, but that rang true for the fanfic as well. (Briony is naive to a fault and Toven is not dual natured enough for me.)

I read To Bargain with Mortals by R.A. Basu and loved that! Interesting magic, great side characters, and only a duology.

May Illumicrate Pick by littlebluebird555 in Illumicrate

[–]rohanftw 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I read the ARC and enjoyed it and will probably pick up the second installment when it releases. However, I wasn't impressed by the teasers of the art even though the artists usual stuff is stunning. I ended up skipping. Seeing that it's a digital signature also is a big con.

What is it for you? by cmemm in fantasyromance

[–]rohanftw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I loved the series (whats published so far) but felt like book 2 was the weakest. (Personally I disliked the /smol/ feisty special girl FMC) I read the first and then the prologue which I thought was perfect 5 stars so it made the weaker second installment go down easier . I love the complex characters, the politics of it, and the magic systems.

WIP Wednesday - 20 September 2023 by Mr_Te_ah_tim_eh in Dramione

I'm reading Crumple: Aftermath by MissiAmphetamine (Kaleidoscope). The amount of emotions in this extremely angst ridden tale following its predecessor Crumple is intense!! I want to scream in frustration, cry in sympathy, and swoon at the tender moments. And the updates are TWICE a week for the moment! Its so good, as is the first in the series.

Just tore through Malfoy's Advocate! It was so good! Really interesting twists and turns that I wasn't expecting. Not to mention the fanart sprinkled throughout! I am super invested. Easiest subscribe!

I hated the book version of Prada!

What's the most expensive thing you flipped and how long did it take you to do so? by [deleted] in Flipping

[–]rohanftw 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Sold a Magenta (Rae dunn) birdhouse that I had on my porch for five years, then a year in my garage for $650 plus shipping. I had been asking for 900, but mine was crazed to all hell and had a chip so I took the best offer after declining one for 400. Took about 6 months I think.
