Illumicrate #32: May 2025
Before I could even get my Illumicrate box from the delivery locker, a friend had already told me that this box was really worth it. I was especially looking forward to the book of the month, because yes, I had already spoiled myself before I had the box shipped. An attempt to make my purchases a little more consciously… although…

Fairyloot Adult #39: May 2025
I was incredibly curious about May’s FairyLoot box. Ever since the theme announcement back in early April, any lingering doubts about what the featured book might be completely disappeared. It became crystal clear which title it would be—and I couldn’t be more excited. It was the latest release by an author whose writing style and storytelling I absolutely fell in…

Illumicrate #31: April 2025
My April Illumicrate box arrived on the first business day of May, which is surprisingly early compared to other months. It’s always a bit of a gamble as to when exactly a box will be delivered, but as long as Illumicrate ships with BPost, hopefully things will continue to go smoothly. Bpost makes good use of alternative delivery options, unlike…

The Broken Binding Fantasy Sub #7: February-March-April 2025
In January, the final book of an ongoing series from my Fantasy subscription with The Broken Binding landed on my doormat – which can only mean one thing: a new series announcement has been mader. Those reveals always feel like a little treat, because TBB’s choices are anything but predictable. Of the six series I’ve received so far, three were…

Page & Wick #7: March 2025
I actually received this Page & Wick box over a month ago, but the box itself was delayed to begin with. Apparently, the UK has been dealing with ongoing printing issues, which means a lot of book boxes are arriving later than planned. No big deal – it’s not like I was out of reading material, right? 😉 The theme…

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…
