I can't wait to start this one!
Happy Spring time! I’ve just started Dragon Springs Road, what are you reading this weekend?
I finished The Tsar of Love and Techno last night, and it was pretty damn close to perfection. And I don’t know about you guys, but when I read a book I absolutely love, choosing what to read next is almost impossible. It’s not an easy job to follow a really great book.
I actually had my boyfriend choose my next read for me since I was at such a loss last night and I knew he would choose something completely different than Tsar. I’m only a couple pages into this one, but I’m pretty excited for it.
I wish I could get ALL of these boxes every month.
We’ve all seen a great number of book subscription boxes pop up in the recent years. They are all over the place and everybody is going crazy for them. Myself included. So I thought I’d share with you some of my favorite book subscription boxes that I’ve discovered. I am obviously in no way affiliated to any of them. I wish I was though, hit me up! Also don’t forget to enter the giveaway here!
Let’s get to it, shall we?
1. Owlcrate

Price: $29.99
Shipping: USA: $6.99 ; Worldwide: $19.99
Let’s start it off easy? I know everyone and their mother has heard of this one, but this was the OG of book subscription boxes. This is the first one that popped up and got popular, and rightfully so. I think their boxes are full of really fun trinkets (which some people dislike, but I love little, silly things like that) and they always include a really, really popular YA release. And they recently launched a Owlcrate Jr. which is a Middle Grade subscriptionbox for younger people (or for yourself, who cares).
2. Fairyloot

Price: £26
Shipping: £3.95 UK ; International varies based on the country
Now Fairyloot is one of my absolute favorites. It’s a monthly subscription box that focuses on YA Fantasy, and I’ve liked every single one of their boxes. All of their stuff is somehow very aesthetically pleasing and caters to my personal tastes really well. As with Owlcrate, you get a bunch of little trinkets, except here they are all Fantasy related, which I just love, since I love Fantasy so much.
3. Muse Monthly

Price: $29.50
Shipping: Calculated by your location
This is one of the top boxes I would get for myself. Muse Monthly is a monthly (yup) book subscription box that pairs up a book and a tea to go along with it, which I think is really cool. Moreover, they focus on Adult Literary Fiction which is my second favorite genre and they have never included a book that I don’t like. Every single time it’s a book I really want to read and you get a tea which is a perfect combo if you ask me.
4. Book of the Month Club

Price: First one is $10 right now, and then $15
Shipping: FREE
This is probably my favorite on the list. Sadly, it is US only. It’s a monthly book subscription box where the only thing you get is the book itself. No extra trinkets. Each month you get to pick between five very different selections across multiple genres, and they always include spectacular books. Definitely check it out.
5. Once Upon a Book Club

Price: $34.99
Shipping: USA: $8.50 ; International: $26.00
This is probably the most unique box out there. Each month you get a book and a selection of beautifully (and I mean beautifully) wrapped items with a corresponding page number that you are meant to open once you reach that page number. I think that’s a brilliant idea and I think it really makes the reading experience special. Also, since you can’t really open the packages before you read the book (I mean you can, but why would you?), chances are that you’ll get to reading immediately. Which is great. They also started a YA box recently!
6. BONUS: Geek Gear World of Wizardry Box
Geek Gear Website
Now this isn’t an actual book subscription since you don’t get any books, but if you’re a Harry Potter fan, you’ll love this. It’s a monthly box filled with Harry Potter items, and it’s amazing. You can pick your house and then get items for your house, or you can mix and match and get everything! It’s so so much fun. In fact, I unboxed two of the boxes on the blog a while ago, so you can see how everything looks HERE and HERE .
So that’s it for this post! Let me know what are some of the boxes you’ve seen and loved, and what are some you’d like to get or have gotten in the past!

In which I babble about ALL the book boxes I want! I wish I could get ALL of these boxes every month. We've all seen a great number of book subscription boxes pop up in the recent years.
Here's the truth: Muse Monthly would not exist if it weren't for my mom. She's the reason I love tea and books in the first place. My mother read to me and my siblings every night when we were kids, she made sure we all had a strong literary foundation, she'd look up words we didn't know and help us with vocabulary, and made us all love books. We read classics like Narnia, Anne of Green Gables, and a Wrinkle in Time over and over again. When Muse Monthly started, mom was my biggest supporter. She helped me try teas, she read ARCs for me, and kept me organized. Up until recently she's been the one helping me pack all the boxes every month. We used to pack up her car and drive them all over to FedEx. Mom was always there to help, and always always there with love and support. I simply would not be here if it wasn't for my mom. Happy Mother's Day to her, and to all you other mommy Muses out there!!
“You could never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me,” C.S. Lewis is reported to have said. I like to think he would approve of Muse Monthly, a newish book subscription service that pairs one book and one tea each month for the enjoyment of its recipients.
The boxes can be bought as a customisable gift, a one-off surprise, or as a subscription. They’re shipped in the first half of the month, and the cut-off date for ordering is around 24th of the previous month. The tea is usually loose-leaf and always carefully chosen. Fun fact: Margaret Atwood picked the tea to go with Hag Seed, which was in the October box.
