Our September theme is: TO THE BITTER END! This month we’re celebrating those ride or dies, the teams that will not be separated, that strive for a common goal…no matter the cost
Our featured book this month is Empire of the Vampire by Jay Kristoff! Our edition has all exclusive: cover, embossing on the hardback, and digitally printed edges! It is also signed by the author. This is absolutely one of our most stunning books this year, and we cannot wait for you all to see it! As always, both the full box and book only subscriptions will come with a matching pin designed by Stacey McEvoy-Caunt
Our featured fandoms are Percy Jackson, Throne of Glass, Strange the Dreamer, These Violent Delights and An Ember in the Ashes! There’s no @rosiethorns88 mug this month (instead it will be in October’s box) but we have replaced it with a suuuuuuper exciting item. We wont be doing a reveal for this item, but lets just say if you’re a Percy Jackson fan, you will not want to skip this box
