    I like the idea of Helm of midnight as well I really want to read that I like the deckled edges when it comes to pages it just gives that book a sense of character

    55:16 "I want the bookish drama" well, the book you unboxed right after by illumicrate is being described online as a colonizer romance so.... 💀 and it's YA. Also I loved your reaction to the fairyloot books lmao

      I heard about that, I have no idea why the author would choose that incredibly dark area of history to inspire their teen romance book but yikes! I can safely say I won't be reading it

    I enjoyed Evocation, it felt more like a romance but it was alot of fun

    I've not been impressed by any sub box bar broken binding this year. I've had 1 5* read from FL, IC, GSFF and Locked Library combined this year, and dnf'd almost every other one. Love the end music by the way. 🎉

      I'm usually 50/50 on GSFF picks (though I did get to meet about 10 of their recent pick authors at an event last night which has boosted my enthusiasm for a few of their books!). But sometimes they drop something like The Justice of Kings which makes it worth it for me. I'm waiting to see if the new romantasy box affects the FL adult pics but mostly they're too romance focused for me. IC is hit and miss for me depending on the age demographic. LL is so uninspired to me, I'll be cancelling.
      PS the outro music is from Dragon Age Inquisition ^__^

    I think a marble style end papers would look nice in the familiar

    The Tainted Cup was fun. So was Age of Myth 🤓
    How many boxes do you reckon you'll need for packing up the books? 😂😈

    • @theBookMage
      @theBookMage  3 місяці тому +1

      I think it depends on the box size but probably a lot, maybe 50 if there's about 15 books in each, less if I can fit more books per box. Not looking forward to it!

    Oh wow! Do you actually know how many special editions you own??

      Not currently, but when I move I will do a full inventory of everything. I'm going to guess about 100, mostly monthly subscription books, but I could be wrong

    New England is the most historic place in North America particularly the US Boston was the reason why the US decided to split from the UK I love books set in Boston I just don't like the massholes that live there

      I'm just not the biggest fan of low fantasy, especially when it's a UK / US setting since it's too familiar to be captivating for me (pretty much everywhere in the UK is historic lol) so I tend to only do low fantasy if it's very distant history (pre-Tudor) or from a more interesting setting I'm less familiar with. There are always exceptions though!

      @@theBookMage I’m a fan of urban fantasy. That’s what this is with the setting like Boston or if it’s New York or Chicago same thing even London and yes, I know the British Isle has very historic places.

      @@jamieserrano827 ik, I do like urban fantasy if it's also high fantasy, though sadly it's not that common. While I don't have the best track record for low fantasy (just personal taste), I'm tentatively hopeful this one might be one of the exceptions ^__^
