    Fairyloot Adult #50: June 2026

    The June Fairyloot Adult box was without a doubt one of the boxes I was looking forward to the most this year. Very early in the year, spoiler accounts started speculating about which book Fairyloot would choose for June, and those predictions were almost unanimous. It involved a new book by an immensely popular author, one whose series I had…

    Illumicrate #44: May 2026

    You were still owed the May Illumicrate from me. This was another one of those boxes where I hadn’t really kept track of what was inside, making the unboxing a real surprise. The theme of the month was Fatal Fortunes, with the slogan: Fortune favours the brave and the bold, but some fortunes may be fatal for all those involved.…

    Fairyloot Adult #50: May 2026

    I completely missed the announcement of the May theme for Fairyloot Adult. Probably because I skipped the April box and time seems to fly twice as fast then? Before I even realized it, I received the order confirmation in my inbox. Oops, lol. I actually don’t really know what I would have done if I had seen the announcement, because…

    The Broken Binding SF&F Sub #5: May 2026

    In my previous unboxing of The Broken Binding SF&F Subscription, I already mentioned that the subscription was converted from a bimonthly to a monthly subscription after barely six months. This meant that immediately after the April book, a new delivery was already on the doorstep in May. The theme for May was Ghostly Memories and promised a standalone historical fantasy…

    Page & Wick #10: January 2026

    It seems like Page & Wick has been having quite a lot of bad luck lately. I had skipped the September and November boxes, but I had no more skips left for the January one. Normally, I should have received a reset for the new year, but that wasn’t the case on their website at the time, and I didn’t…

    Illumicrate #43: April 2026

    The teaser video that Illumicrate posted on Instagram for the April theme actually caught my attention immediately. It started with a stately building, followed by a rather eclectic collection of images: old-fashioned keys, a marble statue in a pond full of lilies, an English cottage-style house among the plants, a tiger, a forest, fairy lights, a detail from a carpet,…

    The Broken Binding SF&F Sub #4: April 2026

    Although The Broken Binding’s SF&F subscription started in November as a bimonthly subscription, it was converted to a monthly subscription in April. That means the previously expected six books per year have now doubled to twelve. Although I keep saying that I need to be a bit more selective about the books I buy through my book subscriptions, you absolutely…

    Illumicrate #42: March 2026

    The theme for the March issue of Illumicrate sounded really cool. Additionally, Illumicrate revealed that their next bookpot would be in this box. Although I have collected quite a few of those pots by now, I really have a soft spot for them. So I was happy that such a pot was going to be in a box where the…

    The Broken Binding SF&F Sub #3: March 2026

    After taking out this new subscription with The Broken Binding in October, we are already on to the third book in this SF&F Subscription. While the first two books in this subscription fell under the “SF” category, the book for March was set to be a new Fantasy release. The theme for this release was Verdant Demise, with a book…

    Fairyloot Adult #49: March 2026

    Due to my somewhat unplanned blog break, I am a bit behind in showcasing my book boxes. As a result, you still have most of the boxes from March to look forward to, in addition to those from April and May. Today I am showing the next box I received since my last unboxing post, namely the FairyLoot Adult box…
