Fairyloot Adult #39: April 2025
With Fairyloot, it’s never entirely certain when a box will be delivered in the month. Because the March box wasn’t delivered until the end of the month, it felt like the April box was super early, even though it was already halfway through the month when it showed up. Another reason why I was surprised to see this box already,…

Illumicrate #30: March 2025
I skipped February’s Illumicrate. This is the first time I’ve ever made and followed through on this decision! Even before I knew what the book would be that month, I had already figured out that I probably wouldn’t be interested in it, based on the hints at the theme reveal. Later, I also learned about a lot of controversy surrounding…

Fairyloot Adult #38: march 2025
I hesitated for a long time whether or not to buy the Fairyloot Adult box of March. The guesses and predictions for the book of the month were unanimous: it would be a book from an author I’ve not had a good experience before. Admittedly, I have only given this author a single chance, so was it fair to write…

Page & Wick #6: January 2025
The shipping of my Page & Wick box for the month of January was delayed considerably due to new EU regulations on safety. It finally arrived, thankfully without any problems at the border, on March 18th. The theme of the month was What Binds Us and without even guessing what the book for that theme would be, I knew I…

Fairyloot Adult #37: February 2025
For a very, very brief moment, I considered skipping my February Fairyloot box – just like the one from Illumicrate. The theme of the month sounded interesting and the guesses about what the book might be didn’t sound bad either, but I didn’t exactly feel all that excited either. But because I was so madly in love with the January…

Illumicrate #29: January 2025
In 2025, I want to be more mindful about which book boxes I order. Every subscription offers the option to skip one or multiple months, and since hints and details about upcoming boxes are often shared online, I should, in theory, be able to be more selective and skip boxes that seem less interesting to me. At least, that’s the…

The Broken Binding Fantasy Sub #6: October 2024 – January 2025
In January I received another final book in a series via my Fantasy subscription from The Broken Binding. The fact that I have added yet another completely unread series to my bookshelves, I will completely ignore. Instead, I will focus solely on how beautiful they are! What would become my sixth series in this subscription, was announced in August of…

Fairyloot Adult #36: January 2025
My first bookbox book for 2025 is this one from my Fairyloot Adult subscription, which was already delivered halfway through the month. The theme of this box is Rift of Realms with a book for readers who enjoy dangerous alliances, fickle gods, and treacherous attractions. And the book is Immortal by Sue Lynn Tan A stunning, standalone romantic fantasy filled…

Fairyloot Adult #35: December 2024
Yes, the last overdue book box unboxing! Haha, maybe a bit stupid to admit, but I’m so glad I finally made time for posting all these, because this was something that kept taking up space in my head. Last up is this Fairyloot Adult box, which was delivered a week before Christmas, again by Colis Privé, who doesn’t even bother…

Illumicrate #28: December 2024
Time for book 6 of the 7 backlog bookboxes, and this one isn’t really that backlogged, considering I received it not that long ago. Well, a month ago, but considering the period, it is understandable that updating about this box wasn’t my priority 😉 . I am talking about the Illumicrate box from December, as you could already deduce from…
