In this post I am going to be unboxing the April 2017 Book Box Club box. (What follows will contain spoilers so please do not read if you don't want to know what is in the box)
Book Box Club is a monthly book subscription box. Each month you receive a specially selected YA book release and 2-4 hand picked goodies which fit in with the theme. Book Box Club also hosts a members only online book club where subscribers get a chance to chat to each other as well as the author about the book.
The theme this month was Belles and Beasts. (Spoiler filled post under the cut)
The first thing I saw upon opening the box was the spoiler card which listed everything in the box.
Inside the box was a set of postcards with the pictures being taken from the trailer which was done for the box, a Belle coaster by Bird Illustration, a Beast sticker by Cirtolthioel, Mrs Potts and Chip chocolate lollies by Maple Molly's and a Beauty and the Beast quote flag by Fox and Lilly. All of the items were lovely, varied and fit the theme perfectly.
Also the girls at Book Box Club were incredibly kind and included a couple of items from previous boxes for me which were a Lord of Shadows by Cassandra Clare sampler and colouring sheet for the Mortal Instruments colouring book and a King of Rats by Melinda Salisbury novella. I was super excited to have these and am so very grateful.
The book this month was Hunted by Meagan Spooner, which is released on April 20th. Also included was a letter from the author which was a lovely little addition.
Synopsis:
Beauty knows the Beast's forest in her bones—and in her blood. After all, her father is the only hunter who’s ever come close to discovering its secrets. So when her father loses his fortune and moves Yeva and her sisters out of their comfortable home among the aristocracy and back to the outskirts of town, Yeva is secretly relieved. Out in the wilderness, there’s no pressure to make idle chatter with vapid baronessas…or to submit to marrying a wealthy gentleman. But Yeva’s father’s misfortune may have cost him his mind, and when he goes missing in the woods, Yeva sets her sights on one prey: the creature he’d been obsessively tracking just before his disappearance. The Beast.
Deaf to her sisters’ protests, Yeva hunts this strange creature back into his own territory—a cursed valley, a ruined castle, and a world of magical creatures that Yeva’s only heard about in fairy tales. A world that can bring her ruin, or salvation. Who will survive: the Beauty, or the Beast?
This was an amazing box and I love every single item. I cannot wait to read the book and am super excited about the book club too. Everything was incredibly well thought out and fit the theme and the added touch of my name on the postcard set was amazing!
I am looking forward to the next box which is titled Wizards at War, I have no idea what the book is so I cannot wait to see what that is and what goodies will be included.

Oooo that Hunted book sounds really interesting, and I have to admit the cover really caught my eye.
