I subscribe to four monthly boxes: OwlCrate, FairyLoot and the book-only subscription for LitJoy and Illumicrate. International shipping is still an absolute shit show… but it is getting better… Maybe. So, here is where I stand with books that arrived in October:
- π = arrived in a previous month
- β = arrived in October
- π = in transit
- β‘οΈ = skipped
- π ΏοΈ = parked (not out yet)
- β = confirmed that it was lost to the mail gremlins (but thankfully refunded)

Meaning, the following books arrived in November:
- The October theme for Illumicrate was Life and Death and the book was The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V. E. Schwab
- I also got my special FairyLoot edition of Blood and Honey by Shelby Mahurin

I was SUPER well behaved in November!! Like, I am honestly just so proud of myself!!

I have already read How the King of Elfhame Learned to Hate Stories, and LOVED it. But if you’re not a fan of Cardan from The Cruel Prince, this probably isn’t the book for you.
I only got two review copies in November, which was actually really nice (as opposed to the SIX I got in October). I am also super far behind on review copies which is the worst… π

Don’t worry, our postal service is even worse ππ I still need to read Slayer and The Faithless Hawk (The Merciful Crow first, though).
I got some books on sale at the library! A copy of Dracula (finally!) and some more Stephen King to add to my growing collection π
meeghan
