I wasn't happy much with owlcrate either. I missed the artwork inside and on the hardcover. 😢 From your video I like the Fairyloot better too just because the artwork and hardcover inside. If owlcrate would have done more I would have been so happy.
I like the FL front cover and the edges look ok on camera, but I could see why it'd bug people and look worse in person. That being said, the OC edges I like the color and I'll always pick a hand signed book over a digital signed one any day.
Owlcrate's first adult book felt a bit rushed, so I think it didn't have enough customisations as FL. It's also pen-signed, which is rare these days. Their customisations for next month's book sound cool though!
I flip the dust jacket on my fairyloot ya book. I really didn’t like the regular cover or this recollection but I’m concerned because my dust jacket is super thin and there’s no coating on the reverse side. So it feels like paper that I pulled out of my printer. It just feels cheap which is a disappointing.
Yeah I didn't even notice how thin it was until everyone pointed it out. I have a couple editions of books with the thin dust jacket feel so I think my brain just didn't register it. Hopefully this is just a one off.
I loved the Threads that Bind. Excited for you to read it and see your thoughts on it. Also got the Owlcrate adult and I was also disappointed in the first release. I wish they had done more for it. Their cover also makes it look way more sci-fi and made me want to read it even less. loved the blue of the edge though.
I’m not crazy about the redesign on the adult OwlCrate book. It’s just not a style I like. I like the designs of the other books you opened. I don’t get boxes from Fairyloot (yet) As cool as OwlCrates clear dust jacket on their Threads that Bind special edition, I think I like that one more. Did you join OwlCrate’s The Nest? They are finishing up a read along for that book now. Also, last weekend they had a virtual bookish con with several different panels including No0ne designs. It was pretty cool and they had some discount codes for a few vendors. I grabbed a couple of cool items.
I'm part of The Nest, but I didn't do any of the virtual bookish con! I wish I had done it, but I was working and last weekend was my worst couple of days for my medical stuff. I'm so mad I missed out, especially on the discount codes! I adore NoOnedesigns
I did notice that, but I have a couple of special editions with that thin material so I didn't notice it really until people pointed it out. Definitely going to have to be careful holding it
I was not a fan of the dust jacket on the FL Threads book, feels like plain paper (better not get that wet) it would be ruined. But I loved everything else about the book changes.
Take care of yourself. You should always come first. Will be here for your next post when your feeling better.
I loved the original cover before any changes. I would of liked maybe it in white with rose gold foil.
Puppy!
Fairy Loots version of the adult book wins for me.
Take care of yourself.

I did not like the cover for the owlcrate version. I hope you are feeling better :).

Yeah I was thinking the book seemed Sci-Fi too from the cover!
I'm so excited for Threads That Bind! it sounds like it has such a cool premise

I thought the dust jacket for Fairyloot Threads That Bind felt like notebook paper? So thin.

Oh so now we will have duplicate in ya and adult 😢
I really don’t like the owlcrate one. I think they barely gave us anything for $40
