Subscription box: Illumicrate
Theme/Month: My Last Breath, September 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.
A dark and very Evanescence box, because all I can think of when I see that is the song, and therefore I am judging on that, but ti does match it nicely. So let’s see what was in it, starting top left:
- The usual leaflet of contents.
- The featured book which is A Study in Drowning, I still haven’t read it, but it looks good and is still on my list.
- Gothic Romance book pot, a bit too pink for my taste, but it is still gorgeous.
- If we were villains jigsaw, and I like jigaws and they look like books so it’s a win for me.
- One of my favourite things but that isn’t included much in the boxes, bowl cosy! In gorgeous fabrics.
- There is also a magnet in a window, which is now permanently holding my recipe for banana bread on my fridge (it gets moved to the microwave when I am making it).
- And finally a Queen of hearts card that I am not sure what it refers to, but I like the artwork.
Overall I liked the contents, even if some styles weren’t for me (the bookpot, but I do like book pots and have a few around the house, I am just picky on the specifics). The items are still in use, so also quite good given this is from 2023. Shame on me about not yet reading the book, woops.
