And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever--the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him.
The September theme is "Invisible Truths". The box looked really full at first glance, but it was mostly blanket.
The featured book is "If I Have to be Haunted" by Miranda Sun. When I first read the spoiler description the book sounded really interesting, but the Waterstones description sounds god awful. It sounds like it's a promising idea poorly executed. The dust jacket is really similar to the original cover, and there's a reversible cover that's quite similar looking but... worse. It has an artwork hardcase, which is a feature I normally love, but this one isn't particularly nice. The sprayed edges and pattern endpapers are gorgeous, though. They both have a leaf/butterfly design which matches the jacket.
The first item is a blanket, inspired by "A Darker Shade of Magic". I love a blanket! I have so, so many blankets, I don't know what to do with them all. But it's a nice blanket. It'll go away in my drawer full of other blankets I keep in case they're needed one day.
The next item is a set of travel bottles, based on "Fourth Wing". This isn't a particularly inspiring item to get in a book box, it's just like, a drugstore item with a logo stamped on. Honestly, I don't know why this idea even crossed their minds. Now, this item will work for me, personally - because I go to spend a weekend with Henry about four to six times a year, and always take my mouthwash in a little throw-away travel bottle. So, it'll save me about £3.20, I guess.
Next is an enamel pin. This is my favourite item in the box - it's inspired by "The Raven Cycle", and I love it!! It doesn't quite go with my jacket, but close enough that I'll make it work.
And next we have a book light. IMO, this is a really lazy, sloppy item. It's a really clever booklight, it fits over a page, and the light is distributed really evenly. But, firstly - if you're going to have a light that ridiculously bright, you'd do as well to just turn a light on. And secondly, this is just a mass market book light, with a quote printed on the grip as an afterthought.
The last item is a set of foiled bookmarks, based on "Red Rising". I don't really like card bookmarks, I prefer metal or wood. And I don't see the point in sets of bookmarks - you can't use them all at the same time! It would be far better to get a single bookmark of nicer quality.
This month's tarot cards are Addie and Luc from "The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue".
I can't say I'm at all impressed with this month's box - the items just don't feel that exclusive.
