    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.

    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.

What would become my sixth series in this subscription, was announced in August of…

Well, a month ago, but considering the period, it is understandable that updating about this box wasn’t my priority 😉 .

    Page & Wick #4: September

    Day 4 of the overdue book boxes and I’m back with a Page & Wick one. Due to the delays of the July box, I hadn’t paid much attention to the renewal that was charged on September 1st, even though I had decided to start being a bit more selective with all my subscriptions and would start skipping more months…
