The Broken Binding Fantasy Sub #4: April-May-June 2024
It’s been a while since I updated on my Fantasy subscription with The Broken Binding (TBB). So far I’ve received three series through this subscription, two as tier 2 and one as tier 1, which is standard signed by the author with possible extras such as artwork. My fourth series became the first series that I had already heard of…

Illumicrate #24: August 2024
Two weeks after I received my July Illumicrate, I also received this August one. The theme for August was Look what you made me do, referring to what can happen when someone pushes you too far. Item #1 is another sword replica. This sword was designed by @Stacey.McEvoy.Caunt and is supposed to be the sword of Oraya from The Serpents…

Fairyloot Adult #30: August 2024
The August Adult Fairyloot got delivered at the end of August, so what I said earlier for the July Illumicrate is apparently not entirely true. If I look at the delivery dates of this year alone, most of my monthly boxes get delivered in their actual month. Surprisingly enough, often even on the very last day of the month, but…

Illumicrate #23: July 2024
My Illumicrate for July was delivered somewhere in mid-August. With the delay in unpacking my boxes on the blog, I keep forgetting that even if a box is for a certain month, the actual delivery of that box usually comes the month after. So actually the delay in that respect is not that bad (I tell myself 😉 ). Anyway,…

Fairyloot Adult #29: July 2024
My July Fairyloot was delivered at the end of July, just before I left on vacation, so I couldn’t unpack the book until much later. This was a bit of a bummer when I finally got to take a closer look at the book in my box. The theme for July was Living Legends and would feature a fantasy retelling…

Fairyloot Adult #28: June 2024
After the delivery issues of April and May, the delivery of my Fairyloot Adult box for June fortunately went smoothly again! The theme for June was Demons & Deities, a theme that at first didn’t really seem to fit with the rather dreamy theme card. The book is namely The God and the Gumiho by Sophie Kim They’ll do anything…

Page & Wick #2: May 2024
In January I got my very first box from Page & Wick, one where I was really impressed by the quality of the enclosed book. However, because it turned out that the import costs were not included in the purchase price, and I therefore had to pay a hefty sum on top of the already not cheap price of the…

Fairyloot Adult #26: April 2024
I experienced some hiccups with my Fairyloot Adult box from April. Although my box was delivered in late April, I quickly discovered that my book had some unsightly damage that I was not willing to accept. Fortunately, Fairyloot is very correct when it comes to these types of issues and they quickly offered to send me a replacement copy. It…

Fairyloot Adult #25: March 2024
Compared to the February edition, my March Fairyloot box arrived quite late, namely the first week of April. Fairyloot had communicated this in advance that they were struggling with delivery delays, so I was not worried. The theme for March was Swan Lake and we were promised a book packed with fearsome magic, moonlit forests, deadly curses and dangerous Fae.…

The Broken Binding Sub #3: January-February-March 2024
It’s been a while since I talked about my subscription with The Broken Binding. After receiving my first two series from them, I received an invitation to upgrade my subscription from tier 2 to tier 1. However, the series that followed the Chronicles of the Wolf Queen did not really appeal to me and despite the overwhelming enthusiasm online for…
