November FairyLoot Unboxing

*Warning: This post includes pictures of the contents of the November box*

I was sooo excited to receive my FairyLoot box today. I swear it’s gotten to the stage where every month I’m waiting for that email to tell me it’s been shipped and on it’s way before checking the tracking information every five minutes to see where it is.

For those who don’t know FairyLoot is a monthly book subscription. Every month, usually around the 15th – 20th, you receive a box with a YA book (usually fantasy) and some book related goodies. I currently have a 3 month subscription but you can sign up for 6 months or just get a single box if you prefer (although you need to get in fast for this as there are a limited number of boxes available).

FairyLoot October Unboxing

It’s FairyLoot time at last!!!

This is only my second ever FairyLoot box and it feels like I have been waiting forever for it (my last box was way back in August). The theme this month is Steampunk Rebellion so I’ve been expecting lots of lovely steampunk style goodies and a book. I have to admit that steampunk is not my favorite genre, I’m probably in the minority when I say I much prefer The Mortal Instruments to The Infernal Devices, but I do love the style and there is some incredible jewellery and clothing.

As you can tell from the picture above I had a little bit of help with unboxing. A certain black furry monster decided to get in on the fun and while there wasn’t much for him (he was quite fond of the packaging and one of the items) there was a lot for me to love.Read More »

What’s in the box?

So yep, I kept seeing all of these lovely book subscription boxes popping up all over the place and it was just too tempting so I ordered my very first box from Fairy Loot.

Fairy Loot are UK based and offer a fantasy focused monthly subscription (or single purchase) box containing  a Young Adult book and some hand selected bookish goodies. As I have a serious lack of bookish goodies and an obsession with YA fantasy it seemed like a pretty good fit.

I ordered the August box a couple of months ago so needless to say I was very excited to find out it was arriving today. After some stress over no one being home to accept the delivery and the delivery driver leaving it out in my back garden in the rain I finally got my hands on a slightly damp and dirty box.

So what did I get…..Read More »
