Through the LetterBox: FairyLoot Dreams & Wishes Unboxing

Posted May 19, 2017 by Charlotte in Through the Letterbox / 0 Comments

Welcome to Through the LetterBox. So I think that it is fair to say now that I am a huge fan of FairyLoot and I loved the idea of Dreams & Wishes. This 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. I wish that the shipping is including in the price because it is like a hidden extra. But I do think that this box is well worth the price. I was super excited for this theme, because the theme ‘Dreams & Wishes’ was so vague but so tantalising especially when Fairy Loot said that this box was perfect for fans of A Court of Mist and Fury and The Bone Season.” the […]
