HOW DID I NOT SIGN UP FOR THIS PRECIOUS THING SOONER! Someone should have knocked some sense into me.

In case you don’t know what the glorious OwlCrate is, it’s just like Fandom of the Month only.. better? I don’t know, I love them both. OwlCrate gives you a new release in the Young Adult world and a bunch of bookish stuff centered around a specific theme. It’s a subscription box that is worth every little penny – count on that. (You guys can sign up here)

This is my first time getting an OwlCrate box, so I really had no idea what to expect besides sheer awesomeness. I am so glad I did this guys! I mean.. an adorable box full of bookish things and a book? Hell yes.

Look at the pretty little box! (Actually, the box is a pretty decent size)

Isn’t it cute? The entire thing is actually decorated. There are footprints and all sorts of stuff throughout – it was so freaken adorable.

In case you were wondering, the theme of this month’s box was writer’s block! So fitting, right? (Shh.. don’t judge me and my nonexistent Wattpad updates)

 

Isn’t that awesome? I mean, not only is the postcard extremely detailed and fitting – there is an amazing note on the back and all sorts of little surprises thrown in.

The first thing I grabbed out of the box, besides the themed card, was this sweet little collection of buttons which now reside upon my bookshelf.

After that came a quill pen and an idea-generating notebook. I love them, I really, really do. They might be my favorite part of the box besides the book that came with it.

There are some seriously hilarious prompts in here guys, and I mean HI-LAR-I-OUS!

• Boil down Hamlet to a tweet
• You live in a cloud. Give three tips for how not to fall off
• You’ve just heard your favorite potato chip flavor will no longer be available. Write an indignant letter to the manufacturer

That’s just some of them… there are over six-hundred.

Next came banned book socks. Squee!

This gorgeous pair made me unreasonably happy.

And finally… the book!

The book included in this month’s box is The Serpent King by Jeff Zentner.

It came with a handwritten note from the author and a really cute bookplate that has a profound quote.

Summary from Goodreads:

Dill has had to wrestle with vipers his whole life—at home, as the only son of a Pentecostal minister who urges him to handle poisonous rattlesnakes, and at school, where he faces down bullies who target him for his father’s extreme faith and very public fall from grace.

He and his fellow outcast friends must try to make it through their senior year of high school without letting the small-town culture destroy their creative spirits and sense of self. Graduation will lead to new beginnings for Lydia, whose edgy fashion blog is her ticket out of their rural Tennessee town. And Travis is content where he is thanks to his obsession with an epic book series and the fangirl turning his reality into real-life fantasy.

Their diverging paths could mean the end of their friendship. But not before Dill confronts his dark legacy to attempt to find a way into the light of a future worth living.

Doesn’t it sound amazing? I can’t wait to dive head first into this book!

So yea, that’s pretty much it. Amazing, huh? These have become my new favorite thing guys. I just found out next month’s box is going to be Dystopian themed and now I’m already squealing and I have to wait a month.

I would write something witty to sum this whole thing up, but I think the owl in the box is much better suited to this than I ever will be.
