What places besides FairyLoot have pretty books with sprayed or illustrated edges? I’ve seen lists before but they just tell you what genre of books or whether there are bookish goodies, and not how pretty the books are, which is very silly of them because I and many in the market are very shallow and do not care about the genre, we just want pretty books that are good I guess.
i am also extremely shallow and picked my subscriptions based on book prettiness
fairyloot has boxes with lots of goodies as well as book-only boxes, i've found their books to be some of the prettiest (if i were smart i'd be doing book-only for both young adult and adult but that would mean risking not getting gideon the ninth socks)
illumicrate also has really pretty books and a book-only option, they have a romance box as well HOWEVER the romances are NOT as pretty as the regular illumicrate books. they have sprayed edges but not stenciled or digitally printed. also they're all tradpub romance and i'm a selfpub kinda girl where romance is concerned.
owlcrate books aren't usually as pretty, often are the same book as fairyloot or illumicrate (but less pretty), and they do harry potter merch. no thanks!
i recently bought a book from thebrokenbindingsub.com (the legends and lattes special edition lmao) and i'm going to try to resist Yet Another Subscription but i'm real fucking tempted ngl
i don't trust litjoy because they have a lot of non-book nerd shit and also a lot of unlicensed definitely-totally-generic wink-wink nudge-nudge wizard shit. fuck off with that. also the books aren't as pretty. and their bookshelf alleys don't even have real depth despite looking cool at a casual glance. thumbs down. it's a bit of a shame because i do like the model where instead of paying for a box every month you pay for members-only store credit so you only receive items you actually want instead of having to figure out what to do with an atlas six booksleeve.
(and before anyone gives me shit for spending way too much money on books because they're pretty: i don't actually keep all the books i get and i actually prefer ebooks, but when i really like a book i want the prettiest possible version to keep on my shelf. so it's either subscribe to fancy book deliveries and resell the ones i don't like or else spend $300+ on ebay when a good one shows up. not buying pretty versions of books i like is NOT an option because why the hell did i get an office job if i can't buy pretty books to console me when i get home.)

i just did a lot of organising of my merch into characters from whole boxes i’ve bought just for nanami/gojo/shigaraki, with the intent to sell them to people who actually. collect those characters n stuff fgbnkjkjngf.
i’ve sold jojo beans and a couple of other things via tumblr before, is there any interest in me posting my merch sales up here before i turn to the great wasteland that is facebook sales groups? ;w;

dug out my old phone, a "Moto G5 Plus" from 2017, and i can't believe how much i still love the design of that phone. it just looks and feels so good!! i love the size and shape and weight of it! i love the gold colour! i love the home button fingerprint sensor and the "one button nav" gestures! and every day i miss being able to turn the flashlight on and off just by shaking my phone with that "chop chop" motion. they just don't make em like that anymore (at least they didn't back when i bought my current phone in late 2020. i havent looked at any more recent models)
