Fairyloot Adult #28: June 2024
After the delivery issues of April and May, the delivery of my Fairyloot Adult box for June fortunately went smoothly again! The theme for June was Demons & Deities, a theme that at first didn’t really seem to fit with the rather dreamy theme card. The book is namely The God and the Gumiho by Sophie Kim They’ll do anything…

Page & Wick #2: May 2024
In January I got my very first box from Page & Wick, one where I was really impressed by the quality of the enclosed book. However, because it turned out that the import costs were not included in the purchase price, and I therefore had to pay a hefty sum on top of the already not cheap price of the…

Fairyloot Adult #26: April 2024
I experienced some hiccups with my Fairyloot Adult box from April. Although my box was delivered in late April, I quickly discovered that my book had some unsightly damage that I was not willing to accept. Fortunately, Fairyloot is very correct when it comes to these types of issues and they quickly offered to send me a replacement copy. It…

Fairyloot Adult #25: March 2024
Compared to the February edition, my March Fairyloot box arrived quite late, namely the first week of April. Fairyloot had communicated this in advance that they were struggling with delivery delays, so I was not worried. The theme for March was Swan Lake and we were promised a book packed with fearsome magic, moonlit forests, deadly curses and dangerous Fae.…

The Broken Binding Sub #3: January-February-March 2024
It’s been a while since I talked about my subscription with The Broken Binding. After receiving my first two series from them, I received an invitation to upgrade my subscription from tier 2 to tier 1. However, the series that followed the Chronicles of the Wolf Queen did not really appeal to me and despite the overwhelming enthusiasm online for…

Fairyloot Adult #24: February 2024
Just about halfway through February I received my Adult Fairyloot of that month. For this subscription service, this timing is fairly standard (if nothing goes wrong with customs of course), even almost to the early side. The theme for February was Vikings and here too the speculation about the possible book was quite unanymous. Also take a look at this…

Fairyloot Adult #23: January 2024
As I indicated earlier, from now on I will start posting regular unboxings of my Fairyloot Adult book subscription again, starting with this first book for 2024. January’s theme was Star Chosen and based on the illustration for the theme I was pretty sure which book this would be. It had appeared on many high expectation lists at the end…

What about the Fairyloot Adult books?
In May 2023, I posted my 11th post about my subscription to the Fairyloot Adult Fantasy Book-Only subscription. I only posted about this subscription when I had actually read the book in question and thus combined the unboxing with my review. I was a little behind on reading the received books, but all in all I managed to systematically read…

Page & Wick #1: January 2024
I have the annoying habit where whenever I learn about a new type of book box subscription, I immediately sign up for their waiting list (because there is almost always one). But then there will of course come a time when my place on the waiting list has progressed so far that I will receive an invitation to actually take…

Unboxing Secret Project #4
Huh, I was really convinced that I had already written and posted this unboxing, but apparently not! Even though I already received my 4th secret project from Brandon Sanderson at the end of October, before I even got around to reading the book digitally, which was a first! Previously, I had always read and seen the book digitally before seeing…
