ILLUMICRATE is a quarterly, UK based book subscription box. Each crate contains a newly released book, no more than 30 days before shipping, from different genres and a variety of between 3 and 6 fun things. Examples are bookmarks, candles, stationery, tote bags, prints, and other small items that book lovers are sure to enjoy. Check out their Past Boxes for an example of what to expect. Sometimes the books are sent out before the release date and periodically the box features a variety of extras – sometimes including an ARC! Boxes cost £29.99 – free postage to the UK, international postage ranges from £4.99 – £13.99. Unlike other book boxes this box does not have a theme.
In this box we got:
1. Exclusive edition of Artemis by Andy Weir
2. Exclusive bookish tea towel by @evannaveillustration
3. Exclusive “The Right Book” JK Rowling print by @nutmegandarlo
4. Exclusive unicorn journal by @prismofstarlings
5. Exclusive reading in bed candle by @merakicandles
6. Exclusive Moon and stars necklace by @ohpandaeyes
EXTRAS:
samples of This Mortal Coil and Iron Gold as well as an exclusive ARC edition of The City of Brass by SA Chakraborty
My thoughts:
Aww this was such an exciting box! I’ve been wanting to read Artemis for a while now, I really enjoyed The martian and I hope this has a similar presence about it. Also, there’s a Meraki candle in the box! It smells so good, like hot chocolate.
AND an ARC of The City of Brass. I’m yet to read the Golom and the Jinni but it sounds quite interesting and a tiny bit like A Crown of Wishes by Roshani Chokshi.
The print has some pretty wise JK Rowling words on it and the planner is quite pretty and well laid out. Unfortunately I bullet journal so I’ll be seeing if my friend would be interested in using it. And another tea towel! Might start taking them to work as we have plenty at home.
Last but not least, there’s a beautiful necklace! I love moon things so this is perfect. I look forward to wearing it!
