    "The Giver" is one of my favorite books! I love it so much

    • @BookRoast
      @BookRoast  7 лет назад +1

      I should look into it

    • @bro_flovski
      @bro_flovski 7 лет назад +1

      Book Roast It's about a failed utopian society, so I guess it's a dystopian really.

    I adored Frost Blood and I'm very excited for FireBlood. So many people are frustrated with Red Queen so I've been recommending Frost Blood as an alternative. It did what Red Queen did but it did it better and without ripping off the Hunger Games so much

    • @BookRoast
      @BookRoast  7 лет назад

      Poor Hunger Games tho, always gets ripped off hha

    I am a Fairyloot subscriber and the one time I got an Owlcrate box I was a little underwhelmed by the items. So I'm Fairyloot all the way!

  • @MysteriesofWriting
    @MysteriesofWriting 7 лет назад +2

    Ah shipping is evil!!! That bath bomb is so really awesome! I love those sticky notes and that pillow case from fairyloot! Fairyloots box this month was just absolutely stunning! :O

    • @BookRoast
      @BookRoast  7 лет назад

      +Mysteries of Writing I still haven't used the bath bomb!! I wonder what I'll get.

  • @ReadarellaReads
    @ReadarellaReads 6 лет назад +2

    I packed my box together and somehow SOMEHOW I lost JUST the bath bomb! I'm so upset! I moved so it could be ANYWHERE right now. I'm sobbing on the inside.
    I've wanted Fairyloot FOREVER but I'm in the US and the shipping IS INSANE. It goes from $30 to $50 because of shipping T__T someday I'll get Fairyloot!!

  • @WhoPickedThisBook
    @WhoPickedThisBook 7 лет назад +4

    Every time I see a fairy loot Unboxing, I love it, but shipping would be crazy because I live in the U.S.
    I've been getting owlcrate for the last 5 month or so and while some boxes are better than others, I have been liking the items I've been getting even though I'm not totally excited for the books.
    Great video!! Editing skills are amazing!

      The shipping is a problem for sure, but it must be so annoying for the companies too as there's really nothing you can do! it's the post..much sadness.
      I know what you mean, some of the books are just a bit meh.

    • @WhoPickedThisBook
      @WhoPickedThisBook 7 лет назад +1

      Book Roast I follow fiction readers box on Facebook and that's one based in Australia. They just posted that they can no longer do international shipping because of this reason. It's sad they have to cut off majority of their demand.

    • @BookRoast
      @BookRoast  7 лет назад +1

      +Who Picked This Book? That is super sad 😢 I don't see post changing though that's the saddest part

      The sticky notes are still one of my fave parts from all of this haha

  • @andrilena315
    @andrilena315 7 лет назад +2

    I'm glad there was a video today! I missed there being one on Wednesday (though I get it if you had a busy birthday week!). Also, how was The Cursed Child?? It's so awesome that you got to see it!
    Anyway, this Fairyloot box was awesome. I so want the pillowcase and the potion bottle sticky notes! I wish I could afford this box, but the shipping to the U.S. is crazy (same problem you have with Owlcrate, lol). And they sell out so fast! But maybe one day...

    • @BookRoast
      @BookRoast  7 лет назад

      ah yes sorry for missing a few videos! It will happen from time to time but hopefully not often :) The play was AMAZING!! If you ever get a chance you have to go there, it's just incredible.
      And I really hope you get your hands on the Fairyloot box at some point too, but I know what you mean, the shipping is so expensive if you live far away :(

  • @RMillica97
    @RMillica97 7 лет назад +4

    And your hair colour is absolutely gorgeous
    The struggle of opening that balm is real, took me forever to open it too hahah

    • @BookRoast

      thank you so much, that's so kind!

    • @jacquerablack
      @jacquerablack 7 лет назад +2

      I didn't struggle too much opening it. But I obviously lucked out in getting the right place. It had a very thick plastic over it though. I got airbender too, mint, love it.

  • @Chloe-ic4lu

    Fairyloot always has the best boxes!! Sadly I live in Canada so shipping for me is awful (just like you with owlcrate....;)) :( fairyloot obviously won

  • @bookmilla8616
    @bookmilla8616 5 лет назад

    I personally prefer fairyloot since i live in Europe and the price in total is 39.99 whilst the price for an owlcrate is about 45.99

  • @kelseerenee2638
    @kelseerenee2638 6 лет назад +1

    I am so surprised you've never heard or read The Giver by Lois Lowry! I thought everyone reads it in school at least. You should check it out though, it is an amazing book!
    Love your videos btw! 😊

    Ahh man I've always wanted to try a bath bomb! Oh my gosh that charm sorting thing is so cool!!!
    Hahaha the struggle opening the lip balm
    Oh my gosh DEM STICKY NOTES
    Your obsession with the pouches kills me omfg Gintare you have no chill when it comes to the pouches hahahah
    Oh bruh yeah fairy loot definitely won again. MaaaAAAn if I ever get a subscription box I'm 100% going for fairy loot

    • @BookRoast
      @BookRoast  7 лет назад

      Hahah I aint ashamed of my pouch-lovin! (wow that sounds ....wrong? haha) It's so USEFUL. I'm a practical gurl haha don't judge.
      I can't wait to try the bath bomb! I also can't wait to move somewhere with a more decent bath tub but let's not focus on that :(
      Those sticky notes are so SO beautiful ama cri everitim.

    Have you heard of the litjoy crate magical edition box? Idk how far along they come out but year 2 just shipped out. Too bad they said that it's $75 plus shipping idk how good the things are but I guess I will save for my favorite years.

    • @BookRoast
      @BookRoast  7 лет назад

      I did see it! Although as you said, it's a lot of money so I can't really afford it and year 2 wasn't my favourite either so maybe it is a good idea to save up and when the time comes see if we can splash on it! hah

  • @tia9920
    @tia9920 7 лет назад

    Ahh I loved my Fairyloot box. It was the first time I've ever gotten one and it did not disappoint. I got the exact same candle and lip balm as you as well. Each item was amazing, I can understand the hype for Fairyloot each month :)

    • @BookRoast
      @BookRoast  7 лет назад

      +Tia Evans I'm glad you enjoyed your first fairyloot! I think this subscription always delivers and I don't think I've ever gotten a box that I disliked at all!

    I prefer Fairyloot box!!

    @Miss_Creepy_As_Hell 7 лет назад

    The bath bomb from Owlcrate was amazing. It smelled so good and I got Divergent! (Which isn't surprising since that's completely me.) I also just ordered July's box for Fairyloot and I'm so excited to get it!

    ugh fairyloot looks so amazing but it's way to expensive to ship to my house :( OwlCrate is good but it's no Fairy Loot

    • @BookRoast
      @BookRoast  7 лет назад +1

      I knooooow, the shipping is like almost the same as the box. I am counting my blessings it's UK based!

  • @alyssamorris7195
    @alyssamorris7195 7 лет назад

    I got both of these this month and I definitely preferred Fairy Loot, the pillowcase won me over for sure!

    • @BookRoast
      @BookRoast  7 лет назад

      The pillow case is amazing! And the stickers are awesome!

  • @CoffeeChatter
    @CoffeeChatter 7 лет назад

    I mean, good for Owlcrate for including 2 books in the box, but I still much prefer the Fairyloot this month just because I've literally used EVERY SINGLE ITEM in the box already. :D

    • @BookRoast
      @BookRoast  7 лет назад

      I agree! For the Owlcrate it was a good one but I just always seem to prefer Fairyloot, I think it's partly the presentation, the care with the box and the fact the items are usually more usable!

  • @ATaleofTomes
    @ATaleofTomes 7 лет назад

    I received both of these boxes this month too, I think fairyloot won for me to even though I hated the smell of my candle! I just didn't know anything about what was included in the owcrate box so a lot of the items meant nothing to me... Loved your hair in this video by the way xx

    • @BookRoast
      @BookRoast  7 лет назад

      +Between the Lines fairyloot has been a winner consistently for me for a few months now! I agree about the candle I didn't really like the scent but that's the thing with scents isn't it, it's just not gonna be the same for everyone! And thank you ! ❤️

    • @ATaleofTomes
      @ATaleofTomes 7 лет назад

      I am going to start skipping Owlcrate I think when its a month I'm not interested in. That's very true!

  • @jacquerablack
    @jacquerablack 7 лет назад

    I got the fairyloot box, loved it, that candle though, it made me feel very nervous because the little herbs kept catching fire away from the wick.

    • @BookRoast
      @BookRoast  7 лет назад

      Did it really?? I am a bit afraid now. Maybe I'll just use it for the photos and not actually burn it then :/

    • @jacquerablack
      @jacquerablack 7 лет назад

      I just pushed them to the wick so they burned in the middle. And none of the herbs floated up as they burned. I watched the candle until they were all burnt.

    • @BookRoast
      @BookRoast  7 лет назад

      +Jacquera Black I might actually just take them off as much as I can and put the herbs outside the candle and pour them on after I burn it hah

  • @JadeJuniiper
    @JadeJuniiper 6 лет назад

    Your scoring seemed really skewed and bias to me :/ 1.5 for chapstick? While everything else got .5 or lower? Even the extra book was low in comparison. Fun to watch but not very objective...

    • @BookRoast
      @BookRoast  6 лет назад +1

      Honestly it's been so long ago I can't remember what scores these were but absolutely it was very subjective - just my preference and opinion

  • @KipperJasmine
    @KipperJasmine 7 лет назад

    Yaaay, FairyLoot won again! (Haha, it's interesting that you already gave merch in FairyLoot more points than OwlCrate before getting into the actual book. LOL) I totally agreed that their bookish items are more useful than those in OwlCrate! However, I've heard ROAR isn't as good as most people anticipated because of the dominant masculinity of the love interests. Can't wait for your thoughts, though! ^^

    • @BookRoast
      @BookRoast  7 лет назад +1

      Well, crap then haha But I do hope maybe it's going to be better than some people found it, I sometimes am a vessel for unpopular opinions haha hope this is one of those times!

    • @KipperJasmine
      @KipperJasmine 7 лет назад

      Yes! That'll be a wonderful timing for your unpopular opinions, haha! :)) Oh, I forgot to ask if you won't get the next month's OwlCrate, then will you be doing another book box battle? Just curious!

    • @BookRoast
      @BookRoast  7 лет назад

      +Jasmine W. I don't think there will be a box battle next month sadly. But there will be another box that's joining the box team haha I was lucky enough to be selected as their rep for a few months on Instagram and even though I will of course be brutally honest about it either way I never battle the boxes unless I pay for the box myself. Maybe one day the battle will recommence ! Hah 🙌🏻
