I think the reading planner was the best item. I like the pages they have and while I agree there could be a bit more space for notes/comments (and a space for a sticker they seem to be encouraging to use), I'd still use it. The book redesign doesn't seem to fit the book summary, very cartoonish/young feeling. The artwork in general for the end pages and edges just doesn't seem to match. How are you liking Spellshop? It got pushed back a bit in my TBR list as 3 came in from the library just as I finished my last batch! I think these will be the last from there for a bit, so hopefully I can get to Spellshop and a few other owned books fairly soon. Oh! I saw something from Owlcrate I think you're going to like! On one of their insta posts, they said that the rest of the YA books this year will be having printed edges! I know you really wanted that!
I totally agree about the reading planner, I will also be using it (as soon as I'm done with the current one I'm using). And right?! The end pages and edges were seriously different from the rest of the book design and felt very off to say the least. Totally understand the pain of having books pushed back, so many books to read and so little time! I finished The Spellshop over the weekend and absolutely loved it! Gave it a 4 out of 5 stars. It has some serious whimsical, fun, cozy vibes with a main character who loves books, I hope you end up enjoying it! And yay! That is great news from OwlCrate!!! Thank you for sharing 💕
@@nikkilovesbooks Ooh, now I'm even more eager to read Spellshop! 3 more books, one of which is a middle grade so that will read fast and then I can get to it! I wish OC would post stuff like that in a dedicated post. It'd make it much easier to find than just read it in the comments! But happy to share. When I read it, I knew you'd be excited to hear the info! :)
@@LJG7654 Yay, cannot wait to hear how you like The Spellshop, I have a feeling that you may like it even more than me! Thank you again for thinking of me and sharing this news! And yeah, they should have made an announcement, not just a statement in the comments as I typically don't read those 😅
@@nikkilovesbooks Here's hoping! I'm ready for a 5 star read! : ) I don't usually read the comments either but they were replying to something that piqued my interest and that's why I saw it. Totally randomly!

Definitely dont love the book art. It is too cartoonish.
So agreed! Like seriously clashed with the vibes of the book.
