Girl what is with the massive waitlists on these subscription book boxes. My position on the waitlist for Moonlight Subscription box is in the 5700's. Going by this the estimate I'll get an invite by the end of spring next year like what. Fairyloot is over a year behind on sending their invites out for the US. With invites being sent out currently to people who signed up in September of 2024. World knows how many years will pass before I get my invite from them. I don't know where I'm at on Owlcrate's, The Arcane Society, The Book Cove, The Locked Library or The Bookish box wait lists. I'm on the waitlist to have my illumicrate upgraded to the combo. If I manage to get emailed by at least Owlcrate I'll be dropping my Book Of The Month subscription for it. I want at least two.
I cannot wait until this Tiktok trend of just buying books because of pretty edges to sit on the shelf and never read dies so those of us that actually want to read these books can. I gotta sit here and pray that I will even get the opportunity to touch Owlcrates upcoming Bride and Mate rereleases when those drop next month as subscribers get first dibs. A lot of times they don't make it past subscribers only. Since Illumicrates sold out fast (I'm on their waitlist for that if people hopefully will decide to cancel those for Owlcrates version instead. Although from what comments I've been seeing people are planning on buying and keep both sets without ever reading them so. I'm not hopeful about my odds of getting my hands on these unless Owlcrate blesses me with a subscription between now and November which would give me early access. Which I'm not too hopeful about.)
I could buy the normal editions but I want the fun colorful edge books too. I want them to read.
