The November 2019 Box theme was WAKE UP WITH A PURPOSE.
The back of the card listed the “spoilers”, or items in the box. The items tie in with different fandoms, TV shows, and books. For instance, one of the items is inspired by Harry Potter. It also lists some unboxing challenges in case you want to share your photos on Instagram and possibly win a prize.
Everything in my box!
The featured book this month is all wrapped up in black!
Beyond The Black Door by A.M. Strickland ($16.99)
Beyond the Black Door is a young adult dark fantasy about unlocking the mysteries around and within us―no matter the cost…
Everyone has a soul. Some are beautiful gardens, others are frightening dungeons. Soulwalkers―like Kamai and her mother―can journey into other people’s souls while they sleep.
But no matter where Kamai visits, she sees the black door. It follows her into every soul, and her mother has told her to never, ever open it.
When Kamai touches the door, it is warm and beating, like it has a pulse. When she puts her ear to it, she hears her own name whispered from the other side. And when tragedy strikes, Kamai does the unthinkable: she opens the door.
A.M. Strickland’s imaginative dark fantasy features court intrigue and romance, a main character coming to terms with her asexuality, and twists and turns as a seductive mystery unfolds that endangers not just Kamai’s own soul, but the entire kingdom …
It’s a dark fantasy novel highly commended by other best-selling authors.
The synopsis is printed on the dust jacket’s flap. You can also find the author’s signature on the very first page of the book.
The story is about Kamai, a soulwalker that can journey into other people’s soul while they sleep.
The storytelling is excellent, it kept us glued to every page!
They also provided a playlist, which is available on the Spotify app.
The back of the card had a gratitude journal so you can jot down some notes about how you are feeling.
A Curse So Dark And Lonely Bookmark. Here’s a beautiful bookmark with a quote from the fantasy novel, A Curse So Dark And Lonely penned by Brigid Kemmerer.
I am always surprised to discover that when the world seems darkest, there exists the greatest opportunity for light.
The flip side also features another quote from the same novel:
The choices we face may not be the choices we want but they are choices nonetheless.
Game Of Thrones Letter Opener. The next item was placed inside a red organza pouch which made the “blade” look bloody. It’s a letter opener featuring Game of Thrones!
Luna Lovegood Stemless Wine Glass. Looking at the symbols on the sticker seal of the box, I already know what inspired this next item!
The glass perfectly describes Luna Lovegood, who is definitely “Exceptionally Ordinary”!
The other side of the glass features her Spectrespecs!
The Selection Candle. This candle is inspired by the Selection Series of Kiera Cass. The soy blend candle is placed in a metal tin container complete with lid.
The blue candle has some glitters on it too, it’s really beautiful!
Lara Jean’s Sugar Scrub. This sugar scrub is inspired by Lara Jean from To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before. It’s gentle, and helps the skin stay healthy, smooth, hydrated, and youthful! It even has the delicious fragrance of grapefruit!
The sugar scrub is made of sugar, avocado oil, cocoa butter, and mango butter.
The bottom of the box had a card with next month’s theme! And it’s “Tying Loose Ends”!
This YA book box is always a delight to have! We love the featured books, and the fandoms featured this month are all amazing. There’s the Wizarding World and Game Of Thrones, and even To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before which recently became a hit. I love the Luna Lovegood inspired glass, and the Selection candle is cute. If you love books and bookish goods, this subscription is definitely a must-try!
