JANUARY OWLCRATE : MONTHLY YA SUBSCRIPTION BOX AND GIVEAWAY?

Hello, everyone! I finally bought my very first Owlcrate Subscription Box, and it was a lot of fun! I have been wanting to purchase a subscription box for a while, but I just hadn't gotten around because it is quite pricey, to be honest. So, just in case if you are not familiar with it, Owlcrate is a Monthly Young Adult subscription box, where you get a new released YA book that has to do with the theme and theme changes every month. You will get other bookish goodies along with the book, which is a really fun way to get a book every month. So, without further ado, let's get into it. 

January's theme was Classic Remix! Here are the items that were in it:

When I first open the box, this was the first thing I saw. The back of the card has what everything is inside the box, but I tend not to look at it because I don't want to be spoiled until after I open the entire box.

The next item in the box was this gorgeous 'Everything was Beautiful and Nothing Hurt' bookmark designed by LexyOlivia, and it is a quote from Slaughterhouse Five. It is made of firm, durable material, and the watercolor artwork is beautiful. Each side of the bookmark contains half of one quote, which I liked! And I love, love and love bookmark!

First Edition Tea Co. created this tea inspired by classic literary characters, The Little Prince. The tea is a mint and rose herbal tea. This little fridge magnet which is The Phantom of the Opera. It was designed by Sweet Sequels and used the original French title with the author of the opera included, Gaston Leroux. Next, we have a lovely little pin that says 'The Owlcrate Theater'

A small bar of soap shaped like an open book from TeaSoapBooks and was inspired by The Secret Garden. Its smells amazing and nope, I'm not going to use it lol. I'm going to keep it as long as I can xD

Since it's the first month of the year, Owlcrate included this calendar designed by Obvious State. Each month has a different quote from a different "Children's Classic",  like Peter Pan, Alice Adventures in Wonderland and etc., with a modern illustration.

A little teaser poster of Wire and Nerve book by Marrisa Meyer. I believe it's her new released graphic novel that is part of The Lunar Chronicles series.

Finally, the book for this month is RoseBlood by A.G Howard, a Phantom of the Opera retelling. It Includes an author letter and a signed bookplate. I absolutely love the cover and can't resist keeping touching it lol. I never read or watch the phantom of the opera, but I can't wait to dive in it.

ABOUT ROSEBLOOD:

In this modern day spin on Leroux's gothic tale of unrequited love turned to madness, seventeen-year-old Rune Germain has a mysterious affliction linked to her operatic talent, and a horrifying mistake she's trying to hide. Hoping creative direction will help her; RUne's mother sends her to a French arts conservatory for her senior year; located in an opera house rumored to have ties to The Phantom of the Opera.
At RoseBlood, Rune secretly befriends the masked Thorn-an elusive violinist who not only guides her musical transformation through dreams that seem more real than reality itself but somehow knows who she is behind her own masks. As the two discover an otherworldly connection and a soul-deep romance blossoms, Thorn's dark agenda comes to light, and he's forced to make a deadly choice; lead Rune to her destruction, or face the wrath of the phantom of the opera who has haunted the opera house for a century, and is the only father he's ever known.

Their next box is going to be Run Away with the Circus theme.

I was a little bit disappointed by some of the items for the theme. There's just wasn't much here I was over the moon about. Maybe I was expecting more than this. I've thought whether to continue or cancel the subscription's box for days. Then, I give a second chance for it. In fact, I signed up for the Uppercase box so for February, I will have two unboxing subscription's box for y'all. Both boxes will starts shipping tomorrow, 15th February. I am looking forward to the boxes and can't wait to see what kind of goodies will be included next!

PS: I know some of my blogger friends wanted to try this subscriptions box but due to the price of the box itself is expensive. So, I have this thought, to throw a giveaway to my blogger friends so we can experience the excitement feeling while unboxing the box together.
