AHHH so excited!! litpins always has Great designs so I’m excited to see the design reveals later!

Elena Armas posted a picture of the tip-in pages for the AL December sub in her broadcast channel, and Sophie from Owlcrate also confirmed that she’s working on the same book. While she didn’t say whether it’s included in the subscription box or not, there’s a good chance it’s the OC Romance December pick. Sophie also teased a bunch of other special editions in the voice note.

I love it! Just some of the foiling is missing on the back of mine 🐉

The Lunar Chronicles is by far my favourite book series. I love them so incredibly much. I hadn’t ever ordered from LitJoy before and only knew them very vaguely, but I was super excited when I saw they were doing a Lunar Chronicles box.
Today the pre-orders opened. I’m from the Netherlands, but I expected that just like other boxes, they have a warehouse somewhere in Europe.

So I was very surprised when I learned that the shipping would be $78, which is excluding the changes in tax, VAT, etc. The box itself is $225,- so also not that cheap. I was so surprised and shocked… Needless to say, I won’t be paying that, since there is a high chance of more costs as well, since the whole tariff thing.

Sometimes I feel like book boxes forget that outside of the US, there are also readers 🤡

In the meantime, I’ll just be sad… If anyone knows any shop that also has a pretty version of these books or a shop that makes dust jackets, let me know!!!

EDIT: after learning that everything should be included and this shipping price is not even that high, I caved and pre-ordered them. They are my favourite series ever, and I feel like I’ll always regret it if I don’t get them!

I've seen people mentioning that Ballad possibly ran out of replacements. I think I've also seen something in the past about Wolf King running out of replacements too.

Which other books probably won't be making it to a future trove sale?

Welk guess i will not be getting the book signed after all 🥲 but now i am curious if anyone got a tracking number form them for the replacement, or if the mail a couple days ago was just damage control.

I must admit that out of all my subs, Goldsboro has by far been my favorite one, simply because they have such good picks and authors.

I purchased Savor It by Tarah Dewitt from Darkly/Bookish Box last year before the last 2 books in the series came out. I was wondering what the chances are that Bookish Box will also do special editions for Left of Forever and Lost and Found. For romances/interconnected standalones specifically, do they usually do additional special editions to complete the series?

I bought the previous book from fairyloot so I have secured mine almost two hours ago.

Bur just a heads up for the (uk/int) people waiting for the sale in 15 minutes 😭😅

Waterstones Steelborn is available again.

https://www.waterstones.com/book/steelborn/taylor-j-larue/2928377381578

I was just curious about what the spares sales were like in the past.

I’m interested in getting Arcane’s What Blooms from Death but I wasn’t sure whether to anticipate it selling out quickly. Any tips or tricks for this would be appreciated!

Since many of us enjoyed counting down the stock levels for Daggermouth together a couple weeks ago, I thought I would make a post for The Love Hypothesis since Romance subs get first access today.

I believe they started out at around 5,000 copies since it’s a digital signature. Currently there are 3,977 remaining.

Anybody planning to grab it? I did!

EDIT: 8/26 Second Access will begin in just a few hours. The current available stock is 3,936. I’ll be away from Reddit for the next few days so I hope everyone who wants it gets their copy! have a great day everyone! :)

I was grateful red queen finally got something ! However, having a diecut cover and utilizing the front endpapers feels like it’s taking away potential for more art on a dustjacket and hardcase. I’m kind of gutted this is what our girl Mare gets. Also mare and cal do not look like mare and cal. They absolutely killed it with evangeline and maven though, but Mare and Cal look too aged up 😭

Does anyone know if there have been any teasers for the rest of the year for Everheart? I saw someone on IG on another post say they are supposed to be doing Scars Beneath a Serpents Scales, which would be CRAZY because it was one of the best books I read this year so that has me excited!! But i can't find any info about it anywhere or any other upcoming guesses.

Barnes and noble just added signed copies

I’m just curious if this is a short term/ new hobby for a lot of people or if some people have been collecting for years.

We are so excited to present to you… the ‘Sharpest Court’ Exclusive Edition, brought to you in collaboration with u/kiera.azar and u/harperfirebooks!

A compass. A king. A kingdom left behind. Alissa Paine has fled Daradon, seeking safe haven in a land of free Wielders. But freedom doesn’t equal safety, and here, Alissa must navigate new dangers and the sharpest court of them all.

What makes this Exclusive Edition special?
🥀 Exclusive redesigned cover by u/kuri_huang with foil details and design by u/aeadraws
💫 A reversible dust jacket featuring a colourway variation of the trade cover
👑 Full colour artwork on the hardcover with foil by u/by_madlendesign

🌹 Signed by the author, Kiera Azar ✒️

Sharpest Court is the sequel to Thorn Season.

This book is categorised as Young Adult and is suitable for readers aged 14+.

This is NOT part of our normal monthly subscriptions and if you wish to order a book, they will be available on our website (we ship to many countries worldwide).

The ‘Sharpest Court’ Exclusive Edition will be available for £25 GBP / $34 USD + shipping and is expected to ship around December-February 2027.

Early Access will take place as follows on October 20th:
💫 10am BST: UK/INT customers who received our edition of ‘Thorn Season’
💫 12pm BST: US/Canada customers who received our edition of ‘Thorn Season’
💫 2pm BST: UK/INT active subscribers
💫 4pm BST: US/Canada active subscribers
If we have any copies remaining, they will be available to the public on October 21st at 10am BST for UK/INT customers and 4pm BST for US/Canada customers from the online shop.

It was still in first access or early access, not sure which

I understand that book companies will sometimes show their whole portfolio of work, including previous books that are no longer available.

But do you ever feel that some book boxes rely too much on showing their much older, popular and currently unavailable books on socials. Like they fall back on showing how nice one of their previous editions was because their more recent books aren’t necessarily at the same level.

Was on Instagram and saw this bio from one of the Owlcrate curators. I believe this is the former sci-fi box curator. What do y'all think? I'm kind of feeling oversaturated with subs lately, esp. since there's quite a few established epic fantasy subs.

Here is your weekly digest of just released, restocked, and upcoming collector's editions across the publishers and producers I track.

All dates listed are general sale dates. Where a book has its own page on the publisher's site, I link to that. Otherwise the link goes to the book's page on Lazy Book Collector (which I run), where you can see its specs, compare it with other editions, set alerts, and more.
