Wow, what a week it’s been! Book Box Club HQ has seen a whirlwind of researching, reading, planning, (boring important paperwork) and most importantly preparing your November boxes to go out in the post!
Now though, it’s time to share with you all of the gorgeous goodies that we included in our October box! We were so excited to be able to create a FANTASY LANDS theme because we both have a weakness for a good old-fashioned fantastical adventure story and the the featured read at the centre of this box, is so much more than that! As soon as we heard those magical words “Narnia Vibes” – we were both sold and we knew we had to share this brilliant book with our unashamedly bookish members.
So without further ado… bring on the unboxing!

Our December boxes will celebrate some of our favourite cosmic explorers of the YA universe – if you are a fan of Illuminae or The Lunar Chronicles you will love our Rule the Stars theme! Here’s a brief recap of just a few of the out-of-this-world goodies that our members will find inside our December box:

This book has it all; nail biting action, mystery and swoon-worthy romance! Think One of Is Lying crossed with Agatha Christie… set in space!

- December boxes will also contain our Exclusive Book Box Club Illustrated Calendar 2019, which will feature the winners of our illustration competition! (If you’re arty make sure you enter to have your art featured too!).
