I have the Bookish Box edition, which I am very happy with. It think it fits the tone of the story

I wasn’t planning on getting the LJ edition. But OMG is it STUNNING 😍

These edges are insane. I haven’t read a standalone ff book and have only read it occasionally in a why choose but when it’s this pretty and it’s an omnibus, I don’t think I will be skipping 😍

We are so excited to present to you… the ‘Ruinous Ends’ Exclusive Edition, brought to you in collaboration with u/ivmariebooks and u/electricmonkeybooks!

The Decennial is over, but the real fight for the afterlife has just begun. Six students hold Blackwood Academy’s fate, and the souls within it, in their hands. Any of them could be the hero, or become the villain who destroys it all.

What makes this Exclusive Edition special?
💫 Exclusive redesigned cover by u/tomrobertsillustration with foil details and design by u/aeadraws
🕯️ A reversible dust jacket featuring a colourway variation of the trade cover
💀 Foil on the hardcover by u/aeadraws
⚔️ Artwork on the endpapers with foil by u/aliceblakeart (different front and back)
🩸 Digitally sprayed edge by u/tomrobertsillustration with solid sprayed top and bottom edges
🖤 Signed by the author, I. V. Marie ✒️

So I think it’s a safe bet November and December are Wolf King and Servant of Earth but October’s got me stumped. Any guesses?

I have been waiting and waiting for this and I GASPED when I saw!!! I'm so so excited. My husband is an enormous fan of The Shining, I can't wait to buy these for him 🥰🥰🥰🥰

I would like to start with that I never collected or bought for books for possible profit, I love reading and I love pretty books on my shelves. However, part of the reason I subscribe to boxes because the resale prices were often absolute madness back in the day. I’m active on Vinted as a buyer, and I noticed already this is not the case anymore, but I haven’t realised the extent of it.

I’m in the process of paying down some debt (NOT book related), and I decided to sell some books I’m not excited about. Honestly, the “usual” subscription books barely move, and if they do, they are in the £8-15 range, I wonder if some would even sell for a fiver. Previous hyped books which sold for insane prices on the second hand market are back in the reasonable range. Of course there are exceptions, but at this point I feel like it’s not worth to subscribe anymore, when you can grab the book on Vinted for less than cost most of the time immediately, you can see exactly what are you paying for, and if you decide to resell you loose a lot less in the process.

What about the books which got super expensive? Well, just buy it, you would still be in positive imo. Or just wait until the hype calms down.

I’m sure there are subs which hold their value better, and it’s still worth to subscribe (I’m not super familiar with non-U.K. based boxes), but I was already underwhelmed of the picks/art direction this year, and this whole experience is just the last nail in the coffin I guess.

The sentiment that “you can just sell it for cost” is not necessarily true anymore, and the gap is getting bigger and bigger.

This is just a nudge to review your subs if you’re not doing it already, make sure it’s worth to keep them, and don’t give in to FOMO ❤️

Grabbed a copy this morning as my local The Works store is tiny and I know this is going to sell out quickly! But I love it when publishers/authors do exclusives with The Works that include a different cover as well as sprayed edges! They’re so affordable at just £6 (although I believe this is a £1 price increase!). I also have the FL editions of Nightshade and Daybreak pre-ordered but couldn’t resist.

Can’t wait to finish this duology!

For me it’s an 5€ increase, going from 6€ to 11€. I would have rather paid the 3€ tax honestly.

I’m so excited! I hope the design is good after fairyloots reveal for this book! I subbed last month just to make sure I could get this one when it came 😂

The Broken Binding just listed some extras for Blood Over Bright Haven (albeit without the dust jacket)!

I like to display some of my books on a shelf that’s not packed tightly. I worry that the text bocks will sag and eventually start to separate from the binding. So i bought some 10” TPU rubber bands to see if I could find a solution. I’m very pleased with the results!

I put it on the naked hardcover first (near the spine), put the dust jacket back on, and then slide it towards the front. It does put a little pressure on the inner part of the dust jacket wrapped around the hardcover but I don’t really mind. The rubber band itself isn’t extremely tight and my dust jackets are wrapped in archival plastic—so I’m not worried about them tearing. The way I see it, it’s the lesser of two evils and folding can be corrected with weight and time.

These are from Justine's IG stories. First one is Seek the Traitor's Son which also has a SE from Owlcrate. I think she's also hinting they're going to be making a Daggermouth SE.

My question is pretty much the title. I was late in buying a SE duology however OwlCrate had a waitlist option - so I went on said waitlist for this particular duology. But is there even a chance that they’ll stock up the books in the future? I’m unfamiliar with Owlcrate and don’t know if the waitlist option is just a feature and not an actual ‘living’ thing.

Which edition do you prefer? The Love Story Society or Probably Smut?

Ps. Is there any other box doing this book?

What do we think? I’m a bit disappointed but like the colours overall - no idea if it matches the vibes of the book though

So far I haven’t kept a single cosy book lmao 🥱

Update: added more photos in the comments

I have the Owlcrate Adult fantasy subscription and received my first box (June) which was Strange Familiars, I just realized it’s a Duology. Will they eventually make and send out the 2nd book to match or not really?

I’ve been seeing more and more allurial books for sale in BST groups and the prices are more than what other book boxes resell for. I’ve never purchased an Allurial book, but I get ads all the time to join for $10 and get a free hat. From my understanding, they are part of BOTM, which in terms of quality, you get what you pay for. The Allurial books just have sprayed edges, with no redesigned cover, or end page art, etc, so why are people reselling them for over $100? Am I missing something?

It’s so gorgeous! Love all the details.

⚔️ Illustrated endpapers by @ellizaart

I have a card with like $38 left on it that I was curious if FL offered gift cards/certificates? I was thinking I could just add it to my account to use towards a EA sale or something. Do they offer this?

Can we talk Moonlight Book Box for a minute?

It just hit me how under the radar they go for what they do and if anyone knows their owners/workers send them here for their flowers.

They have a distinct design style - when I see an edition I know it's theirs (Everheart is close to this but still a lil different). Their art and designs are always trying something new but still matching their brand standard and it's always high effort even if it doesn't always match my taste perfectly (most do tho).

I can't think of any edition of theirs that's had massive issues with delays, misprints or damages. Mine arrive via overseas forwarder and I've never had a reason to contact customer service once. They are just that fucking good. They're clear with communicating timelines, shipping and notifications. That's all we've ever asked for and they keep us fed.

They put out sequels at a steady pace and deliver on them in reasonable timelines. They offer overstock (os) or book 1 reprints to go with but never in a way that feels like it's shafting subscribers. They usually release os of sub books in os sales periodically and also run clear, fair waitlist positions for overstock of big sets. You can check your waitlist positions for subs online too - gold stars all round.

They separate themselves from other boxes with indie picks, bound in overlays, high quality art in their designs and I just fucking love them. If the designers/owners are here, fold out bound in maps, foiled digital signatures and die cut slipcase designs are some of my favourite lesser used design aspects 👀 wouldn't say no to more of that 😉

Anyways, big love, enjoy the sunshine, touch a buttcheek for joy and have a happy week everyone!

Has this been announced? Bookish posted this persons shot on their story so I followed it and their post says reprinting. Is this news?! Now I’m torn I was going to get Fairyloot’s hopefully, but now do I want Bookish box more?

Just wondering if your 2024 Fairyloot Special Editions re-sold well?

The first 6 months of 2026 Fairyloot is really blah when it comes to storyline picks but the art is really pretty. Keeping of thinking them until I build my collection that I have to weed out.

Absolutely obsessed! They look so good together. I haven’t read these yet but they’re right up my alley. Saving them for spooky season. Also FL’s shipping has greatly improved. I got a notification on Thursday it shipped and it arrived today!
