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.
I skipped February last year, the book and fandoms just weren’t my particular cup of tea (I think I usually skip one box a year if at all and I love that you can do this). So let’s see how March was, starting with the featured book and going clockwise:
- The main book was The Prince Without Sorrow by Maithree Wijesekara which is on my list to read but still hasn’t been read.
- Story book Setting magnet inspired by One Dark Window (we like this book so big win here), but in general I like the collection of storybook settings. The magnets are so pretty and perfect for my recipe cards that end up on the fridge.
- A super awesome coaster inspired by The Jasmine Throne and the deathless waters (you’d need to read it to understand).
- A book pot and I like the desing of this one so I kept it, but it’s currently packed in storage still.
- Warden of the Wood embroidery kit which is on my pile of crafty projects to do because it is very cool, but I haven’t got to it yet (embroidery and crochet are the slowest craft projects for me at the moment since I don’t have a set space to do them so I keep having to setup, then move then lose momentum).
Overall the box was full of awesome bits and fandom I like so there wasn’t anything really wasted, big win in this case and I am pretty happy with the contents and over all the box and the look of it.
