Subscription box: Illumicrate
Theme/Month: Live Like Legends, March 2023
Ownership: Subscribed on their 6 boxes option. If you are interested in purchasing an Illumicrate subscription, you can do it on their website.
Illumicrate is a book subscription box, it usually features fantasy and sci-fi but not exclusively young adult, sometimes it features adult too. It usually contains a new release, a pin and several bookish goodies.
As much as the previous box was incredibly visually cohesive this one is not and feels more just cohesive on theme, So let’s see what was inside, starting from the leaflet on the top right and going clockwise:
- Content leaflet, as usual includes artists and photochallenge alongside book summary.
- Journey to the underworld lunch bag, with a Persephone and Hades vibe, which looks cool and not too in your face for fandom specific.
- Greek mythology stickers, and I always love good stickers!
- The featured book, Lies We Sing To The Sea by Sarah Underwood, and another book I have yet to read (partly because I am burnt out on greek mythology inspired books, just stop please).
- A Greek Myths book pot. One I didn’t keep as I only keep a few and this was not for me.
- Realm of the gods mini teapot, this is adorable and I have yet to use it but hopefully soon.
Overall, a decent box with a few everyday use items (the teapot isn’t used because I already have a work horse type of teapot that gets used often, this one feels more delicate) and a few decorative items.
