Through the Letterbox: My Bookish Crate Dark Retelling Unboxing

Welcome to Through the Letterbox. Today’s theme is Dark Retelling this is the second ever subscription box from My Bookish Crate. (having received the gorgeous Harry Potter Pride box) and is one of my favourite to have received from through the post. My Bookish Crate is a monthly subscription book box based in the UK. The Box: In each box you can expect: a recently published Young Adult book and 4-5 bookish goodies related to the box’s theme The box is £28 plus shipping at £3 (if UK based) bringing it to a grand total of £31. The price for the box isn’t unreasonable although I do dislike paying for delivery (it should be included in the price!!). With everything you get though the box is well worth the price. The October theme was Dark Retelling and as Halloween was around the corner it was a perfect box to receive. The Unboxing: Upon opening the box I was greeted by this sight. I could see a couple of things peeking out ready to be opened.     I loved the fact that the book […]

Monthly Round-up! October 2016

Monthly Round-up, linking everything that has happened in the last month, posted on the last day of said month. This Round-up October 2016. Currently reading: Reviews:   Blog Tours:   Through the Letterbox:   Challenges: This year I am participating in the movie musical challenge hosted by Bookish Whimsy. I’ve watched Oklahoma and Chicago and my thoughts will be up this month! As per usual I’m participating in the Goodreads Challenge. I’ve pledged to read 100 books! And so far have managed to read 75 books. I’m 6 behind which is terrible and I’m not sure how I will recover. But this is a small improvement on last month so keep your fingers crossed for me that I can keep going! So what do you think of my round-up October 2016? What have you read this month?

Through the Letterbox: FairyLoot Steampunk Rebellion Unboxing

Welcome to Through the Letterbox and it is time for Round two! with my second subscription box from Fairy Loot, this months theme, Steampunk Rebellion.  This was so different from the first box it is easy to see how this appeals to everyone.  Fairy Loot is a monthly subscription ya book box based in the UK. The Box: In each box you can expect: One recently published Young Adult book, 4-6 goodies often related to the book, promotional items such as posters, bookmarks and a signed bookplate (whenever possible),  a unique hashtag that links you up with one other person receiving a box. The box is £26 plus shipping at £3.95 (if UK based) bringing it to a grand total of £29.95. Again I wish that the shipping is including in the price because it is like a hidden extra. When I heard that the September theme was Steampunk Rebellion, perfect for fans of The Infernal Devices (are you team Jem or team Will?), Divergent and general steampunk awesomeness. Having never read these series (I bow my head in shame) I knew this box […]
