It’s no secret that I’m a book box lover. Part of the fun is trying to guess the upcoming month’s books (even if I don’t subscribe). Here’s a round up of what I think will be in the upcoming month’s boxes. I’ll update this post as new themes are revealed.

If you’d like to play along, drop your guesses in the comments and I’ll add them to the post! If you think I’m wrong. please leave a comment as to which book is a better fit.

Let me know if I’m missing a box you think should be added to the list.

I STRONGLY urge you to research a box before buying or subscribing. There’s been some shady behavior lately and you don’t want to get caught up in it.

Moonlight Crate: Night Spinner

View this post on Instagram

BE CAREFUL OF… UNCONTROLLED POWER! February crate is inspired by strong protagonists with uncontrolled power and abilities that cause a lot of chaos around them. You can definitely expect items from Carry On, Throne of Glass, Shadow And Bone, and everyone's beloved The Witcher! The book of the month tells a story about a once worshipped protagonist that now is called a monster and murderer for the things she have done when she lost her control over her own chaos. Given a second chance, she takes it, but it turns out that while she was locked away, the world around her changed and everything is not as it has once been. It's a story about a girl who has an uncontrolled power inside her and is looking for a way to get back the control of her life. It's an exciting HARDBACK that comes with a SIGNED BOOKPLATE. The time has come for an item we know you are going to love! We've been working hard to be able to include it into one of the crates and we can reveal that February crate will have… A BOOKSLEEVE! The reveal of the artist and fandom is coming soon! UNCONTROLLED POWER crate is available for pre-order now. It will have a hardback new release, as well as 5-6 additional items, and the quantity of boxes, once again, is very limited, so if you wish to snatch one for yourself, you should be quick!
