Two errors on the apron: misspelling of prediction & Henrietta is in Virginia not West Virginia

Book of the Month: Goddess in the Machine by Lora Beth Johnson

Owlcrate’s exclusive edition includes:

uniquely colored cover
surprise foil design on the naked hardback
gold foil gilded pages

Jubly Umph is the pin designer (not pictured).

The mug is obviously the best part of this box. I’ll use the woodmark & tea even though I’m not a fan of the fandoms.

I’m severly underwhelmed with the items paperbackbones collaborates on. So far they’ve been pretty lame: bamboo moon phase banner, habit tracker, paperclip set? Seriously? A nice bookstagram feed doesn’t equate to a designer.

Not to mention, TWO errors in one piece? Big money is spent on these items. Why aren’t multiple people spellchecking? I’ll be interested to see if Owlcrate will set this right.

August’s theme is Written in the Stars. You can see my prediction for August’s book boxes here.
