Noticing a pattern for the current delayed/reprint Owlcrate books

I went to the Owlcrate shipping update page today and noticed that the four currently delayed books: July Adult, July YA, Sea of Charms, and The Beasts We Raise are all Macmillan titles.

Three of them are suppsoedly customs delays and the July Adult is due to damaged dust jackets but I thought it was a fascinating pattern.

Other than the March Adult book which was a Del Rey/Penguin Random House title, were other delays/reprints for this year also Macmillan?

Are other subs having issues with Macmillan titles?

Swordheart Volume 3! Shieldborn releasing Summer 2027! It's been a wild week for book announcements!

Discovered on Macmillan's website!

Reminder that Daggerbound (book 2) releases this month!

----

SYNOPSIS for book 3:

Find out if love can conquer steel once and for all in this thrilling conclusion to the New York Times bestselling Swordheart series.

DELUXE EDITION—a beautiful hardcover edition featuring sprayed edges, a foil case stamp, and custom endpapers.

When you have a two-handed warhammer, everything looks like a nail. This has been Angharad Shieldborn's philosophy ever since she was trapped in a cursed sword, destined to guard wielder after wielder down through the centuries.

Her latest wielder, Cinder, is unlike any Angharad has served before though. Raised in a vicious, immortality-obsessed cult, Cinder should be the enemy, but beneath the prickly, hard exterior she wears like steel, Cinder is kind and vulnerable, and more attractive than any daughter of a crazed zealot has the right to be.

But the cult would kill to get their hands on Angharad’s sword and take her power for their own. If Angharad hopes to save herself and Cinder—the woman she’s starting to fall for—she must shield them from attacks on all sides. But will she be able to shield her own heart?

Join #1 New York Times bestselling author Travis Baldree on a magic-filled adventure in a dangerous new world, where four misfits must work together to escape an ever-changing dungeon.

Welcome to the Deepdown. An impossible subterranean labyrinth, where everything is deadly and the world is ever-changing. The only thing that stays the same is that no one ever escapes.

Until now.

The sly half-devil Brindle has received a cryptic message from the Deepdown itself: deliver a mysterious egg to the top floor, and your escape is assured.

To carry the strange egg safely through the infinite floors of monsters and murderers, Brindle must recruit the worst companions possible—a pacifist blacksmith, a genius tinker with a deadly secret, and two enigmatic sisters, one of whom hates his guts, the other trapped inside a sword.

That would all be trouble enough, but everything gets infinitely worse when the egg unexpectedly hatches, revealing the most horrifying creature imaginable—a human baby.

She might just be the answer to all their prayers—or the most deadly threat the Deepdown has ever seen.

Either way, she’s cute as all hell.

Emily Wilde's History of Dark Faerie [Book 4] Releasing January 19, 2027 (Heather also announced she's currently writing book 5)

https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/770051/emily-wildes-history-of-dark-faerie-by-heather-fawcett/

From Heather's instagram:

After dodging many many questions about the future of the Emily Wilde series, I’m so happy to announce that there will be a fourth book, and it’s coming out in January!🥳

(And a fifth, which I’m currently writing😊)

Emily Wilde’s History of Dark Faerie is, as the title suggests, a little darker than the previous instalments, but it’s still cozy (by my definition, anyway!) and begins a new story arc for Emily, Wendell, Shadow, Ariadne, et al. It’s a continuation of the series, not a spin-off.

I can’t wait to share more details this summer! In the meantime, you can RSVP to Emily’s invitation by preordering at your favourite bookstore or clicking the link in my bio❤️🍄
