Good morning bookworms!!

* Not counting Kindle Unlimited

Emoji table for reference
I subscribe to three monthly boxes: OwlCrate, FairyLoot and the book-only subscription for LitJoy. Due to COVID-19 and international shipping being the absolute shit show that it currently is, here is where I stand with boxes:
- March FairyLoot box ARRIVED!!
- I ordered no April boxes
- FairyLoot limited edition of The Damned by Renee Ahdieh… Β―\_(γ)_/Β―
- May LitJoy book ARRIVED!!
- May FairyLoot is in transit…
- May OwlCrate skipped.
- June OwlCrate is in transit…
- June LitJoy not posted…
- June FairyLoot not posted…
So… for the two that arrived in June:
FairyLootβs March theme was Break the Curse, and the book wasΒ Bone Crier’s Moon by Kathryn Purdie.
LitJoyβs May theme was Academy for the Bookish and Bewitching, and the book wasΒ The Fascinators by Andrew Eliopulos.
Ooof… so, we’re outside of my limit of 10 books… BUT it was birthday month and some of them were gifts. Plus, I had two of my Goldsboro pre-orders arrive (*) So, I’m taking it!!

Looks like a good stack of books!
So annoying that all the boxes are delayed, not that they can really do anything about that..

I know!! And I’m not whining (much), it’s just annoying seeing spoilers everywhere when I am still waiting on the box from the month before (or two months). π
Sofii @ A Book. A Thought.
Bookish and the Beast sounds too adorable!! I’m dying to continue with that series, I read Geekerella and adored it! πβ¨β€οΈ
meeghan
Yes!!!! Did you read The Princess and the Fangirl too?? Itβs the second one and ah-mazing!!
Sofii @ A Book. A Thought.
I haven’t read it yet! but I plan to do it soon πβ¨
meeghan
Oooh, read it first, otherwise youβll see spoilers in Bookish and the Beast!! π
