Manic Monday!

Today, I have decided to tell you about my experience with Owlcrate.


I always hear and see people asking, “What is the best book subscription box?” And I figured it wouldn’t hurt to let you guys know what I think on the matter.


Keep in mind, I am completely biased, because this is the only book subscription box I have ever received.


My July 2016 Owlcrate!



Owlcrate is a monthly subscription box that sends you a new release, hardback book (Now with exclusive covers only found in Owlcrate!) and some bookish goodies. Each month there is a new theme that the whole box is based on. Owlcrate is YA books only, but they now have come out with an Owlcrate Jr. that is middle grade books. Each books genre is based on the theme, so whether you get a YA contemporary or a YA fantasy is up to the theme.


Now like I said, this is the only book subscription box I have received. Because after my first 3-month subscription, I knew I didn’t want any other book box.


Owlcrate is awesome, and I’m always looking forward to each month’s box, no matter what the theme. Even if I think I won’t like the book when I see it, I always end up at least liking it when I finally get around to reading it. Every. Single. Time.


And what is even more special, is with the book comes a signed bookplate from the author AND a handwritten note about the book.


Along with the book and its special swag you receive bookish items that relate to the theme. In the past there have been Full sized, mini, and key chain Funko Pops! Candles, bookmarks, pens, notebooks, candy, scarves, headbands, magnets, etc. They are working right now to add in even more variety of things that could possibly end up in your box! You also always get an Owlcrate button with the theme on it, so you can keep up with all of your past boxes 😉.


I started receiving boxes in December of 2015, as a Christmas gift. Since then, I haven’t skipped a month. I can’t tell you how much this company has expanded and improved since then. Each month is even better than the last!


My First Ever Book Box!



Yes, it will be a little expensive, but guess what? IT’S WORTH IT! You know why? Because everything in that box is hand-picked and made with love. All products are super high-quality while also supporting small and growing businesses.


If you are thinking about getting a book subscription box, I urge you to try out Owlcrate! If you don’t like it, then fine, you won’t hurt my feelings. But I don’t want you to miss out on this amazing company!

Between the Notes by Sharon Huss Roat

Goodreads Summary *NO SPOILERS* This book is so beautifully written and intriguing that I want more! This book reminded me a little of Kasie West’s P.S I like you and is one of the reasons I liked it. The main character can be a little annoying at times, and I had to put the book down once or twice from major second-hand embarrassment. Despite that, I really enjoyed this book. Yes, this book does have a love triangle in it, but it is one of those that you love to hate. This story was so cute and charming, I was smiling all the way through. This book also deals with some relevant topics to today, such as: Societal hierarchy, stereotypes, and judgement. This isn’t the first book of its kind, but Roat manages to remake it just enough to be unfamiliar. This book had me on the edge of my seat waiting to see what would come next. The characters were so fun and had so much personality that I felt like I could really relate to each of them. Bonus points are certainly awa

Here and Gone by Haylen Beck

Goodreads Summary *NO SPOILERS* Here and Gone is an alluring tale of a mother’s struggle to reclaim her children from backwards cops while fighting off self-doubts and the public’s condemnation. Overall, I liked Here and Gone . This book is a nice change from my usual reading genres, but I had a few problems with some of the logic in this book. I’m new to reading mysteries/thrillers so I haven’t yet trained my brain to not point out all of the steps not taken to solve the murder/mystery. For example, why don’t people use lie detectors or drug tests to figure out if a suspect really is a suspect? Ignoring these things, I really enjoyed the author’s writing style even though this book took a while to pick up action wise. I was expecting something to blow up or some gun fights right off the bat, but I forgot you also have to tell a story. This being a new experience for me, I think I was expecting more than what the author could give me. I really liked most aspects

Geekerella by Ashley Poston

Goodreads Summary *NO SPOILERS* This story is a tale full of woe and cosplay. Fans of the iconic Princess Cinderella and sci-fi geeks alike will turn into romantics after reading this fun and semi-tragic love story. Although, if you aren’t a fan of fairy-tale spin-offs or damsels in distress, then this book isn’t for you. I had some major issues with this book, from the slow pacing to the characteristic flaws in Elle. I know this is a Cinderella retelling, but I had a hard time getting over the whole ‘helpless princess’ trope. I was okay with her unwillingness to stand up for herself in the beginning, hoping we would see a grand reveal of the fighter underneath. But I was disappointed when Elle continued to give up on herself and her beliefs. Maybe it is just the feminist in me or the fact that I’m surrounded (and constantly inspired) by strong women, but it frustrated me when Elle wouldn’t stand up for herself. Obviously, her character didn’t have that support like I do and
