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.

The Beacon Book Box theme for May is A Fight for the Throne. And I think the book is House if Dragons by Jessica Cluess (the book blurb is the same). Awesome blog as always! Thank you!

Spearcraft just posted a theme for May : Royalty. What do you think it is? https://spearcraft-book-box.cratejoy.com/shop/product/2853318218
Thank you

Hmm. The description isn’t much to go on. My first guess would be The Betrothed by Kiera Cass.

I agree with you, now I want to order this box. Have you ordered from them before? I haven’t but I’ve seen some bad reviews online, so I’m hesitant.

Beacon is one of the few boxes I haven’t tried yet. Special edition boxes look pretty nice but monthly boxes/items appear to be more on the ‘blah’ side than the ‘awesome’ side.
