Hello Lovelies! I’m back with an unboxing from one of my favorite companies, Dreamy & Co. Unlike most book boxes, Dreamy doesn’t include a book, but instead has a item only box centered around one fandom. In the case of this month, the box was centered around Throne of Glass, which naturally was a much have box for me.
Overall, I enjoyed this box! The pin banner is the most beautiful one I have ever seen and the pin is gorgeous! I’m not gonna lie, the Rowan face on the print is kind of weird, but I enjoyed this box besides that. Dreamy & Co. blew me away, as usual!
Hello Lovelies! I’m here today with a new box that I’ve never gotten from before, Book Gizmo. As soon as I saw this theme, I knew it was for me and that I HAD to try it! Morally grey characters are my favorites in books and I was SO excited for this box!
The Items:
Throne of Glass Candle by @california_candlecompany
Six of Crows Mouse Pad
Crescent City Lens Cloth
Illuminae Files Mini Book Sleeve
Three Dark Crowns Ribbon Bookmark
Nevernight Bookmark
The Cruel Prince Door Hanger
Kingdom of the Wicked XL Book Sleeve by @witchlingsart
Overall, I really liked this box! I probably won’t start a monthly subscription with them, but for a one-off box, this was worth the money. The items were on the less unique side, but the artwork/designs on them were pretty and they were all useful in their own ways. My favorite items were probably the mouse pad and KOTW book sleeve, with my least favorite being the mini book sleeve (I like the design but it’s just too small to be practical).
Hello Lovelies! I’m back with another Bookish Box unboxing! This month’s box was quite late due to the book’s release date, but it ended up being a great box so I was happy to wait!
The Book:
Exclusive Cover
Exclusive Endpapers
Artwork inside the book
Reverse Dust Jacket
I LOVED THE BOOK PICK THIS MONTH!!! I literally cannot say that enough! I was so sad when no other boxes decided to include this book, so I’m so happy that Bookish Box did! Add on all their beautiful customizations, and I could not love this edition more if I tried!
The Items:
Crown Bangle Bracelet
From Blood and Ash Book Sleeve by @merwildandco
Art Print of May Theme Art by @morlev_art
Throne of Glass Pillow Case by @letterpiece
Monthly Collectable Pin: Lord of the Rings Pin by @pinsbyarisamon
This items were pretty great this month! Even though it’s not my fandom, the book sleeve is absolutely stunning and the pin is one of my favorites that they have done!
I said it last month, but I feel like it’s worth mentioning again: I don’t really like the fact that one of the items included is the future theme art for the next month? It feels like a waste of an item and it’s not a choice that I would make, personally.
Next Month’s Box (May):
As far as next month’s box goes, I am so incredibly excited, it’s unreal!!! The book will be Realm Breaker which is one of my most anticipated releases for this year and the customizations sound amazing! The fandoms sound mildly intriguing, but none are my top fandoms so we’ll see. I do find it very peculiar that they are including FBAA two months in a row? I guess we’ll see!
Overall, I enjoyed this month’s box. The book makes it all worth it to me, but the pin and book sleeve made it doubly worth it! I can’t wait for next (this? lol) month’s box!
Hello Lovelies! Recently, I came across this tag when I was scrolling through Octavia @ Mythical Reads’s blog. For those that don’t know, Sarah J. Maas is my favorite author of all time and I just couldn’t resist! I am SO excited! People always ask me which of her series is my favorite and I’m like I CAN’T CHOOSE!! Maybe this will help me decide…
I’m going to have to go with Aelin for this one! She is my favorite female character EVER and, I’m sorry, buy Feyre doesn’t even hold a candle to her. Aelin’s snarky personality grabbed me from the very first chapter in Throne of Glass, but it took me a while (probably towards the end of ACOTAR) to warm up to Feyre.
LOOK… I love Rowan… but is this even really a competition? Rhysand is and always will be my favorite male character. They are both great guys and I really love them both, but I would pick Rhys in a heart beat!
This question is really hard for me because I care about them both. I think I’ll have to go with A Court of Thorns and Roses though. When I read Throne of Glass for the first time, I wasn’t absolutely crazy over it and didn’t read the next one until about three weeks after that. When I read ACOTAR for the first time though, I was dying for the next book and payed Amazon A LOT of money to get it to my house as fast as possible. I needed to know what happened next like I needed air.
However, whenever I reread either book, I definitely enjoy Throne of Glass more. The only reason I didn’t pick it for that reason is because I don’t enjoyย my rereads of ACOTAR anymore for the ships, not for the writing. In my opinion, ACOTAR is written better.
I really like Nesta, don’t get me wrong. But how could I possibly pick anyone other than Manon for this question? SHE’S MANON BLACKBEAK! She is arguably my second favorite female character ever, the complexity and development of her character is phenomenally written, and she is the creme de la creme of morally grey characters! She’s got it all!!!
I HATE questions like these because they just rip my heart in two! I love all of these characters SOOO much and it sucks to choose between them. With that being said, I think I’m gonna go with The Court of Dreams for this one. I would just give anything to meet them and hanging out with them (even for a couple minutes) would be a dream come true! Plus, to be honest, I’m scared of most of Aelin’s court. I love Manon, I do. But I would freak OUT if I met her!
This is another really though question… Maybe it’s because I haven’t read ACOTAR in a while, but I’m gonna have to go with Aelin and Lysandra. I just feel like their relationship went through so much development and Lysandra’s undying loyalty to Aelin brings me to tears. Mor and Feyre are still ๐ though.
I definitely have to go with Prythian for this one! I just love the idea of all the different courts and the dynamics between them all! I even plan on going a poster of the map on my wall some day!
How is this even up for debate? I might not be Chaol’s biggest fan, but I’d take him over Tamlin in a heart beat! Tamlin did not redeem himself in ACOWAR to me and I still hate him.
I am going to have to go with The Assassin’s Blade on this one. I really liked ACOFAS,ย don’t get me wrong. I just likedย The Assassin’s Blade more. I enjoyed getting to see into Aelin’s past and I loved each of the different stories in it.
Before we get to the results, I’m going to go ahead and tag:
HA!! What do you know, the score was tied! ๐ This embodies me as a person when people ask which series I prefer. I guess this won’t be deciding if I like Throne of Glass or ACOTAR more after all!
I highly enjoyed doing this tag and I am sad that it is over! I hope I will get to do it again in the future, maybe with the addition of Crescent City, things won’t be as tied.
… On second thought, I’m conflicted now, I can’t imagine how I’m gonna be after that series comes out and I have three fighting for my heart!
Thank you for joining me today! Please tell me your answers in the comments or feel free to leave a link to your post if you do/have done this tag!
