NERDYPOST BOX is a monthly US based fandom subscription box. Each box contains a 8.5″ x 11″ High Quality Print,  Auto Grade Sticker,  Double Sided Velvet Bookmark and a Colour in Postcard along with a few of the following: buttons, mini prints, notebooks, sticky notes, temporary tattoos, koozies, coasters, magnets, lapel pins, and more! Each box costs roughly £10 ($13.95) plus postage. Each month you also get the option to also receive a T-shirt matching the theme through Nerdy Tee’s or you can get both with a nerdy combo! Sometimes they have special one off boxes, sometimes with a theme or sometimes just with a special feature.
This was a special bookmark box.

In this box we got 6 double sided bookmarks:

1. RED: Miguel de Cervantes
RED-ORANGE: Alfred Döblin

2.ORANGE: Thomas Jefferson
YELLOW: George R R Martin

3.GREEN: Neil Gaiman
AQUA: Cassandra Clare

4.LIGHT BLUE: C.S. Lewis
ROYAL BLUE: C.S. Lewis

5.INDIGO: Madeleine L’Engle
PURPLE: Alice Hoffman

6.VIOLET: Tehereh Mafi
MAROON: Haruki Murakami

My thoughts:

I was disappointed that no info card came with this ‘box’. We didn’t know where each quote came from or why it had been chosen. Since I took these pictures a post went up on instagram with the who said what information and the colour order, so mine are in no order at all. If you want to connect the name with the quote, here are my colour orders from left to right:

MAROON, RED, ORANGE, PURPLE, ROYAL BLUE, AQUA

RED-ORANGE, YELLOW, VIOLET, LIGHT BLUE, INDIGO, GREEN

I didn’t know most of these quotes to be honest with you. I knew the George R R Martian one and possibly the two C S Lewis ones to but I think that’s it.

Part of me wishes I’d got a second set for better showing purposes, but I’m also glad I didn’t. There was a lot less excitement in a box of just bookmarks than I ever realised. This will not stop me from buying other special boxes (unless it’s a box of mirrors or coasters) even if it’s another bookmark box! because I love the bookmarks from Alexis!
