Subscription box: Illumicrate
Theme/Month: Colours of Magic, October 2024
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 that usually features fantasy and sci-fi, and curates a wide range of books, including both young adult and adult fiction. It usually contains a new release and several bookish goodies.
Colours of Magic makes me think of Terry Pratchett, and so let’s see how the box did starting at the top left corner and going clockwise:
- A Moth to Flame chain enamel pin set which I think is very cute and pretty.
- I used to be obsessed with book covers, and I admit I prefer these that wrap around than the ones that are more like a sleeve, and this cute dragon one is gorgeous.
- A bottle travel set, which I ended up gifting to someone who travels since I already have one, but this was utterly pretty and got lots of admiration.
- Leftlet of the month
- Washi tape, though I don’t remember the theme. I kinda like washi tape but forget to use it enough.
- The featured book was Until We Shatter by Kate Dylan which is on my reading list but haven’t got to it yet.
Overall, definitely a magical box with lots of colours and different fandoms, which was pleasing. Nothing really unusable or gone to waste, so also a win there. I’d say it was pretty good for October even if I haven’t read the book yet.
