I’m sure that many of you have monthly subscription craze that has started booming in the blogosphere and beyond. I, after hearing about it and reading Jamie’s post thought that I should give it a try. I shopped around for a bit, deciding that I would try out Owlcrate
Owlcrate is a monthly subscription box that brings you a new YA release and some goodies to go along with it! I thought that the concept was so cute and loved the idea of themed boxes. I anxiously awaited my April box to arrive, and it did!
April’s Theme was “All The Feels”
Inside my box I received:
-One pendant necklace from Forever Always Designs. Mine is TFIOS themed, with the “Okay? Okay.” clouds.
-A cotton tote from Bookworm Boutique. I’m a huge fan of canvas totes because they are great for carrying books around and they are washable! Mine was printed with this lovely ditty:
-A soy candle by From the Page. Literary themed, I might add.
-A hardback copy of Moriah McStay’s debut Everything That Makes You. I’ve been dying to get my hands on this after seeing the beautiful cover and reading the blurb!
One girl. Two stories. Meet Fiona Doyle. The thick ridges of scar tissue on her face are from an accident twelve years ago. Fiona has notebooks full of songs she’s written about her frustrations, her dreams, and about her massive crush on beautiful uber-jock Trent McKinnon. If she can’t even find the courage to look Trent straight in his beautiful blue eyes, she sure isn’t brave enough to play or sing any of her songs in public. But something’s changing in Fiona. She can’t be defined by her scars anymore.
And what if there hadn’t been an accident? Meet Fi Doyle. Fi is the top-rated female high school lacrosse player in the state, heading straight to Northwestern on a full ride. She’s got more important things to deal with than her best friend Trent McKinnon, who’s been different ever since the kiss. When her luck goes south, even lacrosse can’t define her anymore. When you’ve always been the best at something, one dumb move can screw everything up. Can Fi fight back?
-To go along with Everything that Makes You, I also received some bookish swag: a bookmark, sticker, and signed bookplate!
I’m so excited about my April Owlcrate box and can’t wait for the May box to arrive.
Have you subscribed to a book subscription?

OMG this is awesome! I have heard so much about this box and I really must check it out to see if they ship to New Zealand… *fingers crossed*

I’m pretty sure that they do international stuff, but don’t quote me on that. And I’m pretty sure it’s expensive?!? 🙁
