In this post I am going to be unboxing the June 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 Bad Girls (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 really nice notepad with a quote on it from 'And I Darken' along with a pencil with the words 'Mistress of all Evil' on it. I like the way these items can go together.
Next up was a pencil case with a hand drawn picture of Bellatrix on it from the Harry Potter series but also inside was full of Jelly Beans! I really like Jelly Beans so I was a happy girl!
The last of the items was a print of the Queen of Hearts from Alice in Wonderland and a shower gel based on a character from the chosen book, I was very impressed with this as usually you get bath items and I don't have a bath in my house.
Before I got to the chosen book of the month there was an extra ARC copy included this month and that was The Boneless Mercies by April Genevieve Tucholke.
The book this month was All of this is true by Lygia Day Penaflor. The book also came with a signed bookplate.
Synopsis:
MIRI loves the novel Undertow like it's a living being. So when she and her friends get the chance to meet the author, Fatima Ro, they plot a way to get closer to her. As for what happened with Jonah . Well, obviously none of that was Fatima's fault.
SOLEIL wants to be a writer herself one day. She can't believe it when Fatima asks them to hang out with her - and having Jonah there makes it even better.
PENNY is more than the party girl everyone thinks she is, and she's willing to share her darkest secrets with Fatima to prove it. But what will happen when Fatima finds out about Jonah?
All of This Is True is a story of obsession and revenge, betrayal and forgiveness, and the devastating result of a secret that didn't stay buried.
I thought this box had some really nice items in it and I really like the tin of jelly beans. The book isn't my usual choice but looks good and I want to read it.
July's box is called Witchcraft and sounds like it's going to be a brilliant box.
