Fairy Loot Unboxing | February 2020

Fairy Loot Unboxing | February 2020

Welcome back to ANOTHER Fairy Loot unboxing! So, for this month the theme was ‘Rulebreakers’ and when the theme was announced last month, I knew exactly what the book was, and to make things even better, I had an ARC of the book and I had already read most of it, and thought it was amazing.

Side note: excuse the chipped nail polish. I haven’t been bothered to take it off!

Let’s get on with the unboxing…

Things I Wish Book Boxes Would Change | Discussion

Listen, we all love book subscription boxes. They’re like getting a birthday present every month and you get loads of brilliant surprises plus an amazing book for a reasonable(ish) price.

HOWEVER.

I do have my problems with them. For those regular readers of my blog, you will know that I only subscribe to one subscription box, and I get it every month. But, this post isn’t just me spilling the tea on this particular box, it’s boxes in general.

I also know that because I get a box every month, there’s bound to be repetition because companies have to cater for people who want to get one-off boxes,

But, like I said before, this post is talking about book subscription boxes as a whole!

Welcome back to ANOTHER Fairy Loot unboxing! If you don’t already know, I now also have a YouTube channel where I have also filmed an unboxing as well as writing this blog post. So, for this month the theme was ‘Favourites’ and when the theme was announced last month, I genuinely had no idea what the book was going to be. I scoured Goodreads for even a little clue, but I couldn’t find anything!

Welcome back to ANOTHER Fairy Loot unboxing! If you don’t already know, I now also have a YouTube channel where I have also filmed an unboxing as well as writing this blog post. So, for this month the theme was ‘Mutinous Pirates’ and when the theme was announced last month, I knew EXACTLY what the book of the month was going to be – so I had to cancel my pre-order. But even though I knew what the book was going to be, I was still so excited to get a pirate themed box!

Another Fairy Loot box means another month of gorgeous artwork which is designed by Taratjah! The artwork for this month is absolutely amazing and sums up the book and theme perfectly. On the back of this card is all of the information about each item, but I never look at this as it contains spoilers as to what is in the box, and I WANT TO BE SURPRISED!

The first item that I saw when I opened up the Fairy Loot box WAS ANOTHER BOX! I knew that it would be a mug because it was the item that Fairy Loot revealed to us when advertising this months box. What’s so amazing about this mug is that it is one of those heat changeable mugs. So at the moment (when it’s cool), it’s black… But when you put the hot water in the mug, it turns into this:

The quote says “you must continue to believe with all your heart. Sometimes, belief is all it takes to make something real”, and this is a quote from Falling Kingdoms by Morgan Rhodes!

RRP: £13.29

The next item that I saw in the box was this room spray bought to us by Geeky Clean. I love their items and I can’t wait to go and see their stall at YALC! This room spray is inspired by Snow Like Ashes by Sara Raasch and is called Theron’s Study and smells like lavender, which is amazing because I LOVE THE SMELL OF LAVENDER!!

RRP: £7.00

Then I saw THIS BRILLIANT QUIDDITCH PEN that in inspired by Harry Potter and was bought to us exclusively by Fairy Loot. The pen even has a quote on the side, and mine says “don’t chase the Quaffle if you see the Snitch”.

Next was a promotional item that advertised Sweet Black Waved by Kristina Pérez

Two proud kingdoms stand on opposite shores, with only a bloody history between them.

As best friend and lady-in-waiting to the princess, Branwen is guided by two principles: devotion to her homeland and hatred for the raiders who killed her parents. When she unknowingly saves the life of her enemy, he awakens her ancient healing magic and opens her heart. Branwen begins to dream of peace, but the princess she serves is not so easily convinced. Fighting for what’s right, even as her powers grow beyond her control, will set Branwen against both her best friend and the only man she’s ever loved.

Inspired by the star-crossed tale of Tristan and Eseult, this is the story of the legend’s true heroine: Branwen. For fans of Graceling and The Mists of Avalon, this is the first book of a lush fantasy trilogy about warring countries, family secrets, and forbidden romance.

Next up was a tea towel that was designed by KDP letters. Unfortunately, the design came out backwards which is a massive shame, but Fairy Loot did email everyone who had bought the July box explaining that they had realised the design wasn’t right and they are going to send a replacement tea towel in a couple of months. The tea towel includes the quote “her spine was steel, her heart was armour and her eyes were fire”, and this is taken from And I Darken by Kiersten White.

And finally, the last item (apart from the book of the month) that was in the Fairy Loot box was THIS GORGEOUS art print designed by Diana Worak, and the art print depicts Zélie from Children of Blood and Bone by Tomi Adeyemi. This is an amazing piece of art and I’ll definitely be sticking this up on my bedroom wall!

AAANNNNNNDDDDD THE BOOK OF THE MONTH IS….

Heart of Thorns by Bree Barton! This is an EXCLUSIVE Fairy Loot edition as it had red spray-painted pages, and it’s also physically signed by the author. So that means NO BOOKPLATE that you need to stick in, it’s ACTUALLY signed. Also included in the Fairy Loot punch was a letter from the author which also acts as a piece of character artwork. I’ve also just looked on Amazon so that I can include the link for you to buy it, and it says that it doesn’t come out until 6th September in the U.K! But it’s out 31st July in the U.S. So technically, I’m getting it 2 months early which is AMAZING!

In the ancient river kingdom, touch is a battlefield, bodies the instruments of war. Seventeen-year-old Mia Rose has pledged her life to hunting Gwyrach: women who can manipulate flesh, bones, breath, and blood.

Not women. Demons. The same demons who killed her mother without a single scratch.

But when Mia’s father suddenly announces her marriage to the prince, she is forced to trade in her knives and trousers for a sumptuous silk gown. Only after the wedding goes disastrously wrong does she discover she has dark, forbidden magic—the very magic she has sworn to destroy.

As always, Fairy Loot included the Fairyscoop newsletter which includes an interview with the author and also the information for next months box (which sounds A-MAZ-ING!), and then they also include a bookmark that has the artwork of the month printed on the front and then ‘Fairy Loot / July 2018 / ‘The Power Within’ printed on the back!

Thank you to Fairy Loot for another month of bookish goodness. I can’t wait for next months box which is themed Mutinous Pirates! I know exactly what the book is for next month, and again, it was one that I had pre-ordered, so I had to cancel my pre-order! But the book sounds absolutely amazing and I can’t wait to own it and read it! There has also been a supplier reveal already, and it’s an exclusive sampler of King of Scars by Leigh Bardugo!!! I CAN’T WAIT!  Don’t forget to check out the Fairy Loot website to see pictures and details of their past book boxes and to also see their price plans for subscriptions.
