Just as a head's up...those sticky notes came with a warning about tearing paper. So you might want to test them before putting in a book! Saw it on an unboxing video so don't have them myself but I know I'd be upset if they damaged a book!
@@willowingwhispers2612 I have to wonder since the printing is off (every opening I saw commented on it) if there was an error in manufacturing so they put a warning on it and just shipped it anyway?
@@LJG7654 Yeah I've never seen a warning on any of these so I'm thinking I might avoid using them... or test them out on a book I don't really care about. Very strange that they have issues with it
Hello! I finally decided to try a book subscription and decided to try Locked Library (their books are so pretty!). So I will share my thoughts next month, when it gets to me. Now, to commenting the video: - Ilumicrate: The keychain is pretty! For the trident, my first thought was Percy Jackson, but it doesn't really look like it would be from it; I would never guess it's Poppy War (but I must admit that I haven't read past the first half of first book) I love the book design. Never heard of that one. Endpapers look really really good, and it all makes me want to check that book. - the empire of the damned has pretty painted edges, but I don't really like the white design of the cover. -fairyloot: destroy the day looks very nice. Love the color choice (red + yellow). I haven't heard of that author / book either. - Illumicrate 2: I don't really love the dust jacket, but hardcover is really nice - i'd love to have like a print of that art to just hang in my room. - Owlcrate: The "Go away" sign is so funny. Another book I don't know. Feels like too much gold foil. I hate that, because it rubbs off too easy. Inside art and edges are really nice. Spirited Away was a really good movie. Fun fact - I've seen part of it when I was very little, and remembered the scene with train for years before I watched the movie again. - Fairyloot: A Tempest of Tea looks really interesting. I mean, I've been following the author for a few months, and really wanted to read it; but I really really like this edition. I will try getting it next month. There are some cheap-ish resells, but I really don't have more money for books this month (and I will probably buy another 1 or 2 books, but hopefully I can get mum to pay for them :) + Polish books are much cheaper, even with painted edges) Also, I'm sorry - my vocabulary feels very poor today. Feels like I said exactly the same things about all the items.
@@Akuliszi I removed that comment. I think it was spam ugh. Anyway! I would LOVE to do Locked Library, but I have too many already lol so I hope you love the books that come. I loved your breakdown of the boxes! Not repetitive at all! It's super fun to read throughout what other people think of the things in the boxes.
@@kimberlyreads I've seen on Locked Library's Instagram, that they're looking for content creators to promote their boxes, so maybe it's worth trying? If it isn't too late - I don't remember what was their deadline. I will share my thoughts when I get the first box. They seem to have a slight delay on past two ones (march and april), but from what I see, a lot of subscription boxes are delayed recently. :/ I hope they will sort that out before may box (that's the first one I can get)
@@Akuliszi I actually looked into that when it came out and sadly they're just focused on TikTok and Instagram which is annoying. I always think TH-cam is a missed out marketing tool for companies because people who watch TH-cam videos tend to be more involved with the videos than they are with scrolling content on Insta and TikTok
I missed out on the Fairyloot Romantasy box since it sold out before it was offered to General public. I’m on the wait list for the Adult Fantasy too 😭 I get the YA book only for them to try and save a bit of money and I don’t have to room for all the stuff I get. The book is really pretty. Will you be making a library in the new house to accommodate all your books?
We are pending on our new house and it has a relaly nice large spare room that we're going to change into a library/board game/youtube filming space. So I'm hoping it comes out pretty nice

Yikes. Strange they would make them specifically like they're meant to be used in books when they can tear the paper.

@@kimberlyreads Oh that's exciting!!!
I bought fathomfolk because it is a work of art. The reviews are pretty awful so it was a decent price. But it's pretty low on my TBR
