5:46 I can't do candles either...due to being allergic to the smoke from the flame. I can do wax melts..but even those have to be for only a short time. I feel your pain❤
Owlcrate is going paperless so we won't be getting booklets or spoiler cards anymore you have to scan the qr code on the box to see the spoilers and other info
So glad you mentioned the fact that Kindle Unlimited is the main resource for majority of Fairyloot Romantasy stuff. It annoys the hell out of me and I wish they wouldn’t do it like that.
The candle from the YA owl crate box smells so good dude I was shocked 😭 I’m gonna try to replicate it at some point. Also- I’m re-binding Cruel Prince. Should I make the cover grey, light blue, or other?
Haven’t decided on a color yet, but I’ve been asking some people and I’ve been keeping score of what everyone says😂. So far light blue has been the winner, but someone said burgundy which I thought was pretty cool.
I agree, IC have not been hitting with the book picks. Luckily their skip policy is pretty good so I’ve kept it and just bought the handful of boxes that have appealed this year. It’s a shame because they do a good job with designs and items.
I hear you on the book boxes getting expensive. Lately I haven't loved the book choices so I'm like... should I cancel? I will be so upset if I do and then see a book that I really want though and then they are sold for a ridiculous amount on Mercari, Pango or eBay. The only book I got from that haul is the Owlcrate book, but my BOTM was The Dagger and the Flame. It has the original cover and blah hardcover of course which is a bummer though. I'm really spoiled with special editions. I think I'm going to try and stick it out until after January in case one of the companies I get boxes for comes out with a book I really want but after that I think I will be getting rid of a few. Too Bee Read has been annoying me with how late the boxes are. I got the August box on the last day of Sept. Really... Their magical boxes were never on time either. I get when some products take a bit longer but it's every box. So I might dump them and if they happen to have an item I like I will just get it off the website.
Basically FOMO and doing these videos is keeping me from cancelling all of my subscriptions. It's soooooo tempting. I was actually thinking about getting TBR again, but you're right. Them being so late drives me nuts and I don't really want to deal with that. A whole month is pretty late and they definitely have a history of being late which is frustrating.
The only month Illumicrate does do an exclusive redesigned cover (which everyone's been complaining that they haven't been doing) and I wasn't a fan of the dust jacket art either... would've preferred it to just have been a colour way switch of the original UK cover.
You inspired me to cancel Illumicrate after your Illumicrate catch-up vlog! The picks have not been good and I have too many items. I cancelled Fairyloot earlier this year but still have the adult book only.
I wish I didn’t hate vampire books because that first big book looks lovely and I love LGBT+ stories. All the items from the boxes looked really nice this month, too. And I liked the designs of all of the books, for the most part.
I can't get any subscription boxes because they're too expensive but watching unboxings are a really good way to pretend that I can afford them haha. I just found your channel and I'm excited to watch :3 Personally, I love scented candles and/or bookish candles, what a shame that you have allergies for them :( I'm writing this comment as I'm watching along, soooooo don't be confused xD A NINO AND HARUKA CANDLE FROM LORE&LUST? Ugh, I love him so much xD I still need read the second books, whoopsy. I swear, I'll read them soon *she said like a liar* AND EXCUSE ME??? That edition of Lore & Lust is so georgeous. I want it so bad omg. I would take it to work and say that it's a special ediition bible because the sizes honestly could match xD The art in the book is so amazing ;-; I wish I could just teleport the book into my posession.
Honestly, it's like a short burst of excitement to get subscription boxes and then it's "What the heck am I doing with all this crap." I think it's just as fun or more fun to just watch them!
I am with you about candles! Anything musky or floral makes my nose itch unbearably. Citris and sweets (vanilla, caramel, cakes) are okay. I think it's some chemical that is in floral scents that I'm allergic to. Owlcrate has decided to get rid of spoiler cards/the little booklet. Not a fan of this as I keep it for the artwork. :( There is a QR code on the inside of the box, but it is not well marked that it's for the spoiler card. They also didn't announce it anywhere other than Insta stories, so it disappeared and if you didn't see it, oh well. Love the edges of their book this month. I just lost my orange kitty at the beginning of Sept. so it reminds me of him. I also love the almost glittery foiling on the waves of it. Thanks for sharing!
THANK YOU for telling me about the QR codes. That'll help my prepare more for next time haha. I have collected all of my paper spoiler cards since I started getting them so I'm also really sad they're getting rid of them :( I'm so sorry you lost your pet. That is a horrible thing to go through. I hope you have a lovely cozy month to help you get through it.
@@kimberlyreads Thank you! I took my mom to Graceland for her 80th birthday last week and it definitely helped keep my mind off it! Just a head's up, as of yesterday, the online spoiler card was still showing September. Hopefully, they'll change it soon! Not super impressed with this roll out where they couldn't be bothered to announce that they were taking the card away and then not actually updating it before people started getting their boxes!
@@LJG7654 I've always wanted to go to Graceland! I'm so jealous and I'm glad that helped you out. I totally agree. Don't roll something out until you're 100% ready. It sounds like they aren't sure how to do the spoiler card without spoiling stuff? It's like they dont want to post the spoiler card until everyones boxes have been delivered
@@kimberlyreads It was a LOT of fun and if you get the chance, do it! I can recommend doing the 2nd lowest tier (the first one that includes the Mansion and the Experience/Museums). Unless you really want to, don't pay extra for the VIP things, the lines aren't really bad at all and I didn't feel like I needed any other photo ops. There's plenty already on the grounds. We stayed at his Guest House, expensive, but with an 80 year-old, it was worth it because of location. And there was a lot going for it-live music every night, restaurants there, a movie theater showing Elvis movies, free pb&js with choc. milk every night (granted, not the best, but it was a great idea!) Driving was not bad, but we really got lucky with traffic. Saw Sun Studios as well, worth the tour price for sure. We also spent a couple days in Nashville and went to the Grand Ole Opry-celebrated their 99th bday with them which was cool even though I am not a big country fan. I kind of wondered that myself-but if you can't get to it without the QR code, you're not going to go there unless you really try so how would you spoil yourself unless you wanted to?
I loved lore and lust, but skipped on this special edition. I absolutely love the original covers. I will say, the novels are great, the novella was terrible.
This was so much fun to watch!
Great unboxings 📚📦🍂🍁🎃👻🦇☕

@@karlynmr thank you for telling me this!!! I was so confused 😂
@@kimberlyreads your welcome! I was also confused when I opened my box this month so I figured I would pass on the message😂
Great to see you back in another video 🤗🤗🤗🤗
So glad you mentioned the fact that Kindle Unlimited is the main resource for majority of Fairyloot Romantasy stuff. It annoys the hell out of me and I wish they wouldn’t do it like that.
I agree with you..."OC knocked it out of the park". I think OwlCrate does a good job with their extra goodies ...since the extra cost is only $10
They really did such a phenomenal job!
The candle from the YA owl crate box smells so good dude I was shocked 😭 I’m gonna try to replicate it at some point.
Also- I’m re-binding Cruel Prince. Should I make the cover grey, light blue, or other?
That would be so cool to replicate it!
I'm sorry this response is so late! What color did you end up picking?!
Haven’t decided on a color yet, but I’ve been asking some people and I’ve been keeping score of what everyone says😂. So far light blue has been the winner, but someone said burgundy which I thought was pretty cool.
@@galaxy_wolf924 Burgundy would be awesome!

Literally exactly how I felt 😭
You inspired me to cancel Illumicrate after your Illumicrate catch-up vlog! The picks have not been good and I have too many items. I cancelled Fairyloot earlier this year but still have the adult book only.
🙌 Omg. I wish I was a strong as you 😭 Everyone I think of cancelling, I panic.
I wish I didn’t hate vampire books because that first big book looks lovely and I love LGBT+ stories. All the items from the boxes looked really nice this month, too. And I liked the designs of all of the books, for the most part.
I'm literally obsessed with vampire books so I'm so excited 🤣🤣
Girl i was so disappointed with Illumicrate’s book 🤢. I’m glad I wasn’t the only one
It's just so ugly 😭

I did not like A Dark And Drowning Tide cover, either. Just not my personal style. The original is so much better.
I loved lore and lust, but skipped on this special edition. I absolutely love the original covers. I will say, the novels are great, the novella was terrible.
I've heard a lot of great things about the books. I had no idea there was a novella so good to know it's bad haha
