Terrible quotes, nice mug
I received the mug for Christmas. After a month of use, the mug is fine. The quotes however are TERRIBLE. They glorify self-recrimination, rudeness, grind culture; they represent a way of seeing the world that does not invite joy or coziness in any way. Like reading a Goggins book from 100 years ago. Gross. I've found TWO in a month that were worth the moment it took me to look at it. In addition, they are overwhelmingly written by men and include the actual word "man" or "men" in roughly 30-35% of the quotes. When I contacted them about this, they were kind, but said the quotes have to come from before 1929, and that's what's available. I think if this is the best you can do, then it's probably not worth doing.
Response from merchant
Thank you for sharing your feedback. I’m sorry to hear the Literature Every Day Interactive QR Mug content didn’t feel cozy or uplifting, especially as a daily experience. We hear great feedback about this item. The quotes are sourced from public domain works published before 1929, which does limit the pool of available material. That said, we understand your concerns about tone and representation. We truly appreciate you taking the time to share such detailed feedback, and we’ll be sure to pass your comments along to our team for review. We’re reaching out directly in case we can do more to help.

As an avid reader, and an author, I love this mug!
Such fun to scan the QR code each morning before I fill my mug with tea. The mug itself is attractive, but the daily literary quote seals the deal. I did have trouble at first getting the QR code to register. But some experimenting with lighting (I turned my iphone display to the brightest setting, and scanned in the bright light of my kitchen) and I access my daily quote easily. While I purchased this for myself, I plan on purchasing more to give as gifts.

Perfect gift for a bookworm
I bought this as a gift for my mom, who reads all day long and starts the day with a cup of tea. She is very happy to learn and explore literary classics with the QR code and can't wait for each morning!

Great idea
I bought two of these mugs for Christmas presents. The Literary one came, but the printing was so fuzzy that it did not work. I contacted Customer service, and they immediately sent out a replacement. I received it on time for Christmas and it worked well. I was pleased with the mugs as they made unique gifts for my hard to find gift MIL and son.

Unique mug design
Beautiful design and unique scan code idea. Two criticisms are: the physical mug design is really large and apparently you need a code that comes with your mug in order to access the daily quotes, which is an obvious initially.

Happy with my purchase
What an "Uncommon Idea" I bought this for our daughter-in-law, who is an avid reader. She is enjoying scanning the QR code daily for a new quote or other informative information about the history of books! Glad I found this.

Good size and looks great
I appreciate that the QR code is discrete so that the mug can still be enjoyed without using that feature. This was a gift for someone else, so I have not tried the literary quotes myself, but the receiver was excited to try it. I love the idea.

Are the book quotes from a variety of books for men and women? Is the mug more popular with women? I'm looking for something appropriate for a man who is an avid reader.
Verified reply from Michelle
The literary quotes are from a wide variety of books from writers like Jane Austen, W.E.B DuBois, Charles Dickens, and many more, that will appeal to all avid readers, and is universally popular.

What happens after the first 365 days? do the quotes start over again and repeat from the first Day 1?
Verified reply from Sofia
There are 365 quotes and they are the same each year. In other words, the quote displayed on 11/4/24 will be the same quote on 11/4/2025 and so on.
