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…

The Broken Binding Fantasy Sub #11: January – March 2026
Meh… blogging hasn’t really been going great for me lately. Aside from writing reviews for the books I’ve read, I just can’t seem to finish any other blog posts. I currently have so many half-finished drafts sitting around, about crafts, outings, things I’ve been working on, things I’ve watched… you name it. But I just can’t seem to bring any…

Illumicrate #41: February 2026
I was actually planning to skip the February Illumicrate entirely. Although the predicted book seemed cool, it wasn’t exactly something I necessarily wanted a special edition for, especially since the standard cover was already very beautiful. Moreover, starting this year, Illumicrate is switching from four to just three items per box, while the price remains the same. In itself, that…

Fairyloot Adult #48: February 2026
The February FairyLoot arrived just in time for February itself. It’s always nice when that happens, because sometimes deliveries run a bit late. This month’s theme was: Forbidden Bargains! According to FairyLoot, the book of the month would be perfect for readers who enjoy gothic fantasy. And that sentence alone was enough to grab my attention. They also revealed that…

The Broken Binding SF&F Sub #2: January 2026
To be honest, blogging hasn’t been going so well for me lately. Just…not feeling like it. It happens, but my numerous book subscriptions keep coming in, and I don’t want to deprive you of those unboxings. Last October, I started the new SF&F subscription from The Broken Binding. At the time, it was still a bimonthly subscription, good for six…

Illumicrate #40: January 2026
The first Illumicrate of 2026 is a fact, and wow…what a start! Both Fairyloot and Illumicrate are off to a flying start for the new year! This month’s theme was Power of Death. Not a small, cozy theme, but a pretty powerful message. It promises an epic fantasy book with a unique magic system…and yes, I’m already sold. But as…

Fairyloot Adult #47: January 2026
A new year, a new series of book boxes on the horizon. And yes, even though I resolve every year to be more selective and use my skip options more often, there’s always something that makes me hesitate. For this first FairyLoot box of 2026, it was mainly the impressive list of artists. That alone made my mouth water. And…

Fairyloot Adult #46: December 2025
The very last book box of 2025 was a bit of a let down for me. Not so much because I was disappointed with the book itself, but mainly because of the carelessness in packing it. Unfortunately, that immediately sets a tone that’s hard to completely ignore. Anyway: FairyLoot does have the honor of closing out the 2025 blogging year,…
