To Bee Read February 2024 🐝 LitJoy Crate 🐝 To Bee Read Unboxing

[@Sisichapters15]

I think it’s a great idea to show the items you didn’t receive, it gives people a good idea of what the options are. I have the ToBee Read box and have been very happy with it. The point option is for both level one and level two. I’d like to offer an alternative point of view to the book sequels being put in the box. Litjoy sent out a survey and most people wanted the sequels as an option in the box due to cost savings for them. Majority of their subscribers didn’t want to have to pay an additional cost to get the sequel. Also, Litjoy always holds back extras to put in their shop after the boxes has been shipped. I think this is a win-win. People that are on a budget can get it from subscription and the people that no longer have it can get in the shop after the subscriptions are shipped out. FYI, “All this Twisted Glory” was in the shop for over two weeks before selling out. On a personal note, I like having the option of getting it as an e-book for only $4.99. I love watching all your videos. 😊

Thank you so much for the input, I will be sure to keep showing all the items moving forward. And seriously thank you for sharing this information about LitJoy and the ToBre Read box! I am so happy to hear that they had sent out a survey and this is why they made the decision to offer book sequels in the box. That makes a difference that it was subscriber choice and not simply company policy. I sincerely appreciate that you took the time to educate me on the specifics around this issue. And that is great that they have extras to sell in the shop as well for those who no longer subscribe, it really does sound like a win-win! Oh yes, the e-book option is fantastic, I will need to remember to mention that in my next To Bee Read unboxing video. Thank you so much for watching and for commenting 😊💕

Just going to say I love that you are “showing” and telling about the items you didn’t get either! I am not getting this box (maybe in the future) but I like knowing ALL the options!

[@nikkilovesbooks]

Perfect, thank you for the feedback! I was hoping that was the case. I will be sure to keep featuring the other item choices for this box in future videos. 💕

[@Selena9999]

I love that pin! So cute! And the socks!

[@nikkilovesbooks]

Love the socks! 😍

[@nicoleallen6778]

I love Tessa Bailey and I think you’ll like it. She’s the queen of banter and does not shy away from spice!

[@nikkilovesbooks]

Omg I love good banter and glad she does not shy away from spice! Thank you for letting me know, I am now more excited to read it! 💕

[@crystal1134]

I just wanna say, right off the bat, I love how you are “showing” and explaining the items you didn’t get! I’m currently not subscribing to this box (maybe in the future) but I wanna know ALL the options! So thank you!

I had the box and quit it. The concept was good but I was not a really impressed with the 2 boxes thatI got. I did get the second book of the woven Kingdom. So now i'm gonna have to keep an eye on their shop and hopefully pick up the third one if they have any left.

[@nikkilovesbooks]

Good to know, I am hoping I like it but we shall see. I hope you are able to get the 3rd book! 🤞🏻

Oh the notebook is really pretty. I have fabric that is very similar. More images, but same colors and does include the rose! I liked the candle, especially since it was in a mug. Very well themed and after it was burned, you could still use it. I totally understand not wanting the pin! They can be pretty (and I like this one, but I am an Alice in Wonderland fan) but don't do much other than take up space. Love socks! They are always useful. I have to admit that most of my socks have some sort of theme...bookish or cats...and a couple moose. lol! I like fun socks so much better than plan ones... I'm not a romance fan, so the book doesn't really interest me, but LitJoy did a really good job theming it with the edges and the argyle on the hard cover. Thanks for sharing!

[@nikkilovesbooks]

Yes the notebook is so pretty! Glad you have a similar that sounds just as beautiful. It was so hard to pick it over the candle though 😮‍💨 And yeah, pins just kinda take space, at least for me, I don't wear pins. If I was in school I would use them to decorate my backpack but alas I graduated many years ago 😅 And right?! Fun socks are literally the best ever!!! And omg moose socks, that is so cute 🥰 Totally understand not being a romance fan, we all have our different preferences. What are your favorite genres?

[@LJG7654]

@@nikkilovesbooksI'm a big fantasy/sci-fi fan. I also read quite a bit of middle grade and children's because I work in elementary. :) Part of the reason I love fun socks is working with kids. When they notice (esp. the littles), they get really excited about it. I could see putting pins on a lanyard if you used one, but yeah, mine just sit on a pin banner on the wall collecting dust. I enjoy a good pin, but I just don't have room for more collecting dust, if that makes sense.

[@nikkilovesbooks]

@@LJG7654 Aw I love that you work with kids! Great genre picks too, I absolutely love fantasy, still developing my taste with sci-fi, bit more picky with that genre. And totally understand not having room for more pins! 💕

I think it's ridiculous they're selling the This Woven Kingdom series as sub boxes. I received the first box this series came in, had to rush to grab the new sub for the second book (it was their first rebranded sub box) and said forget it for this third book. These should be sold in their shop for everyone that received the first book.

[@nikkilovesbooks]

I'm so glad you said that and I wish I had remembered to share that viewpoint in my video. I don't think any sub book boxes should include anything beyond the first book in a series. Any following books should be a drop in the shop, not part of the sub. Definitely bad decision on their end. 💕

Another great video - as always! Also random question: noticed you added the Bridgerton Special editions to your shelf! Are those new?!

[@nikkilovesbooks]

Thank you! And no, my Bridgerton set isn't new, had it for a few months but it was hidden behind other books or was lower down on the shelves, I can't quite remember 😅 I'm currently scanning all my books into a library app in preparation for reorganizing my books! I've always kept track of my books and ratings through Goodreads and will continue to do so. However, I needed an app that I could input where a specific book is located on my shelves hence the new library app. I did purchase another book shelf that will be going in my bedroom and I own over a thousand books so it is a huge project that is gonna take a lot of time. 😅 And I love random questions so always feel free to ask! 💕

[@ashleybashleyboo]

@nikkilovesbooks oooo! Sounds like an amazing project! Goodreads is good (pun intended) but I wished it had options for spice rating, how you read it, if you own it, etc. I feel like it could be so much better.

[@nikkilovesbooks]

@@ashleybashleyboo Absolute truth!!! It could be so much better and wish we had more options with it. I did create a tag for "in personal library" on my Goodreads bookshelves but I hate that it's a tag that I put and there's not a designated option. So many things could be added and I just wished Amazon would be willing to make the changes 😭
