It's a continuation of the events of the end of the TMI series, I think.<br /><br />I have the Dystopian box from Owlcrate ordered! I hope that I like it! I wish I would have ordered the Sci-Fi box. I thought about it, but I was worried I wouldn't like the book, but I wanted that book and I'm sad I didn't do it! <br /><br />I think that I might like to try Fandom of the Month, I should give that one a try next maybe!<br /><br />A box with personalization options would be so fantastic! I think that there are some boxes with the option that the person doing it will look into your interests and stuff and pick a book out for you. Maybe it's Uppercase? I don't remember. I go into it thinking I want the surprise and then getting the box and not liking the surprise anymore.<br /><br />But I would so sign up for a box with personalized books and goodies. I love the goodies in the boxes for the most part, they look so fun!RattleThePageshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00384685788016281486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5478447915672497112.post-45675451887142520212016-04-08T17:00:16.707-05:002016-04-08T17:00:16.707-05:00Thanks for the review!

I guess if you could set preferences somehow, so you'd be more likely to get something you actually want. Plus, isn't Lady Midnight the latest in a series?? It seems backward to me, to send a novel that isn't a standalone or first in a series, for a subscription box. :/<br /><br />I tried OwlCrate and I was surprised in a good way...I'm waiting to see how I feel about the Dystopian box for April before I decide whether it's up my alley. I have a subscription to Fandom of the Month Box, which I love even when it's not my fandom, because it's affordable enough to just gift everything from it. <br /><br />Give we three commenter's experiences, maybe there's a market for a subscription box service of a geek/book nature that allows for personalization each month. I wish FotM had that, at least, since I can't wear bracelets. :/Beth Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01898921671895123053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5478447915672497112.post-33091836737581413832016-04-07T17:26:39.281-05:002016-04-07T17:26:39.281-05:00This was the second subscription box that I have t...This was the second subscription box that I have tried out and I definitely agree that the anticipation is the best part. The first one I tried was Owlcrate and the theme I got was Myths and Legends and that was something that SPOKE to me, but I was SO disappointed in basically everything in the box. It came with a neat tin of fancy tea, but I don't like tea and I don't even remember what else came in it. That being said, I have ordered the Dystopian themed Owlcrate for April so I will probs review that box next! But I look at all the pictures of people doing unboxings and I LOVE what I see and then when I finally go in and order, I hate what I get! I'm gonna give a few more a try just for the sake of seeing which one I might like the best, but I probably won't really subscribe to one. Just pick and choose which themes I might want to try out. I have seen one box (for like $43 so lol no) where they let you know ahead of time what book will come in the box, but I don't remember what it was called.RattleThePageshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00384685788016281486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5478447915672497112.post-7422732247515998522016-04-07T12:38:09.084-05:002016-04-07T12:38:09.084-05:00I'd never heard of this box service either so ...I'd never heard of this box service either so thanks for the review Cyra. After trying a few subscription services (Julep for nail polish, Little Black Bag for accessories, Fandom of the Month Club for costume fandom jewelry, Le Tote for clothes and Owlcrate for books and things) I've realized that the anticipation is always more fun than the actual package. Of the services I mentioned above I've only kept a handful of items (2 shirts from Le Tote, some Julep polish, three fandom jewelry pieces--two of which turn my skin green, a handbag from Little Black Bag that probably is past its prime), everything else I received was quickly given away or discarded. I guess it's not the point of the service but I think what I'd like more is a subscription box where I can opt in or out easily (no monthly commitment) and see exactly what I get beforehand. It always feels like a bit too much of a gamble otherwise.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
