In this post I am going to be unboxing the May 2018 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 Stargazers (Spoiler filled post under the cut)
The first thing I saw upon opening the box was the spoiler card which as always lists everything in the box.
The first item I found in the box was a super cute magnetic bookmark of Professor Trelawney from Harry Potter along with a cat constellation pin.
Next up was a pocket mirror with a shakespeare quote on it, a pair of contellation socks (which I love) and a pouch with a quote from Sarah J Maas on it.
The very last thing was some swag from publishers.
The book this month was The Queens of Innis Lear by Tessa Gratton. The book also came with a signed bookplate.
Synopsis:
The erratic decisions of a prophecy-obsessed king have drained Innis Lear of its wild magic, leaving behind a trail of barren crops and despondent subjects. Enemy nations circle the once-bountiful isle, sensing its growing vulnerability, hungry to control the ideal port for all trade routes.
The king’s three daughters – battle-hungry Gaela, master manipulator Reagan, and restrained, starblessed Elia – know the realm’s only chance of resurrection is to crown a new sovereign, proving a strong hand can resurrect magic and defend itself. But their father will not choose an heir until the longest night of the year, when prophecies align and a poison ritual can be enacted.
Refusing to leave their future in the hands of blind faith, the daughters of Innis Lear prepare for war – but regardless of who wins the crown, the shores of Innis will weep the blood of a house divided.. . .
I thought this box had some great items in it and I adore the socks. The book is a chunker but I am looking forward to reading it.
June's box is called Bad Girls and sounds like it's going to be a brilliant box.
