Fairyloot_ Unboxing January 2018

If you don't guess already i will tell you that i love books! 

I have always wanted to receive a subscription box based on books but i have the problem with the shipping costs (usually they are more expensive than the boxes itself) so when i found Fairyloot i was so so so happy. 

For those of you that do not know about this company, Fairyloot is a UK’s popular book subscription service that gives to you monthly a box filled with bookish goodies and a recent release book. They have a montlhy theme and you could expect a young adult book related to that theme. 
If you want to know more about it here go the Fairyloot Site
For me the box cost 29,34 € (26.00£) and the shipping is 8,35 € (7.13£). 


Without further ado let's get right to the unboxing. 

The January theme was " Talk Faerie to Me"



Let's start with the book of the month, it was The Cruel Prince by Holly Black and i was so happy since this book was in my wish list and i will end up buying it at some point. 
One thing i have to refer is that the book in these boxes comes always in a booksleeve with the fairy design you could see on the box itself, i just love this detail because it shows how much they care for the books and how much effort the put in the details and making sure the costumer received good items. 
Joining the book we have every  month a letter from the author and a signed bookplate, i just love these little touches and they make me sure i will continue to subscribe this for a very long time. 

Also every month we received a bookmark with the theme of the month, i have a collection of bookmarks and omg these designs from the themes are just gorgeous, so i'm so happy they make this a recurrent thing in the boxes. Especially this month we get a set of magnetic bookmarks from ACOTAR that presents Rhys and Feyre in theiIllyrian fighting clothes, i was absolutely in love with those and i'm now considering to buy more and start also a magnetic bookmark collection. 

The biggest thing we get this month is a pillowcase from ACOTAR with the sentence "Only you can decide what breaks you". the design was magnificent, i love the colors and the sentence and this will be living in my bed for sure. 

One of the things i like most (besides books) are candles, so when i receive bookish candles i just went mad =D this box brings a candle featuring a character from the book we received (the cruel prince) and it just smells amazing.  Also related to the book we get a lip balm, you could have received two different kinds (Seelie or Unseelie) and i got the Seelie one, i'm not sure it i will use it or if it will sit in my bookshelf. 

Another thing you could expect, if not every month almost every month, are book prints. As the bookmark we received one from the month theme with the same design, and these month we get more 3 book print. One from the same character that the candle feature, and two from ToG series featuring Rowan and Aelin. The backside of these prints have sentence related so you could use it the way you like best. 

Last we get a coloring book with fairy themes, i like very much to color when i'm listening to audiobooks but i do not know if i will use this one because the designs are so beautiful in black and with. 

I gave this box 4.5 out of 5* i just love it. My favorite item (i will not consider the book) was the magnetic bookmark and the less favorite one was the lip balm. 

The next month theme is "Twisted Tales" and i was so anxious and excited to receive it. I just have a guess what the book will going to be, and let's hope i'm right.  
Do you receive this box? if so tell me what did you think of these month.

January Wrap Up & February TBR

January is over and we already start the second month of the year (time really flies) so i will talk a little about my January Wrap Up and my future TBR pile for February. 


In the first month of 2018 i read a total of 9 books divided between physical books (7), ebooks(1) and audiobooks(1), with a total page count of 3154. My reading list was the following:
Trone of Glass by Sarah J. Maas 
Physical book, read during 5 days
The Crown by  Kiera Cass
Physical books, read during 1 day
A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J. Maas 
Physical book, read during 10 days
Fairest by Marissa Meyer
Audiobook, listen during 7 days
Sinful in Satin by Madeline Hunter 
Physical book, read during 6 days
The Sinner by Tess Geritsen 
Physical book, read during 4 days
Everless by Sara Holland 
Physical book, read during 4 days
The Assassin and the Pirate Lord by Sarah J. Maas 
Ebook (Short Story), read during 1 day
SunKissed by Sarah J. Maas 
Physical book, read during 4 days

I really had a good reading month and in general i like all the books i read. 
My favorite one was A court of Mist and Fury, i end up giving it 4.9 out of 5* and it was a book that make me think of the plot and the characters for day's after i finish it. The less favorite book of January was Sinful in Satin, i like it but it was the book that makes me less anxious to finish and the plot was not super exciting. 
This month i have two favorite covers: Everless and The Crown. OMG did you guy's saw this gorgeous and breathtaking covers? If not go see them ASAP and i'm sure you will fall in love with them. 

Now for my February TBR! In most part i'm a mood reader but i usually can stick to a monthly TBR because when i decide it i choose books that i'm in a mood to read. This month i intend to go through 12 books, but i have to confess that 4 of them are short stories, so without further ado here is my list: 

.  Winter by Marissa Meyer
 The Assassin and the Healer by Sarah J. Maas
 The Assassin and the Desert by Sarah J. Maas
 The Assassin and the Underworld by Sarah J. Maas
 The Assassin and the Empire by Sarah J. Maas
 A Court of Wings and Ruin by Sarah J. Maas
 Crown of Midnight by Sarah J. Maas
 The Cruel Prince by Holly Black 
 Dreamer's Pool by Juliet Marillier
 Body Double by Tess Geritsen
 Midnight's Captive by Donna Grant
 Vision in Silver by Anne Bishop

Tell me what do you thought of my TBR list, did you have one yourself? share it with me in the comments. 
Have a wonderful month and many great reads! =D

Geekgear box_ World of Wizardry September 2017

Unboxing WoW September 2017



Hi guys, i'm back for another unboxing, this one is the geek gear box for September 2017. I know this is rater late this month, but i only received my book the previous week. 


For those of you who do not know this box, it is a monthly subscription one with a price of 19.99 £ (about 22.68 €) and a shipping cost outside UK of 5.99£ (about 6.69 €). It always brings a t shirt and more 5 or 6 items all related to the wizarding world of Harry Potter.  

Every month we received clues about what the box will going to contain, and the clues for September were: 
1- Niffler
2- Newt Scamander
3- Hogwarts Express

So without further ado let's start with this month goodies =D 

This month box brings a pair of socks with your hogwarts house colors and since i'm a Ranvenclaw mine are blue and bronze. 
I have to admite i really like that geek gear do stuff in Ravenclaw real colors, it is one thing that gets me really pissed out when Ravenclaw merchandise are in colors from the movie.

The next item we have this month is a rubber key-chain, mine is the dark mark symbol however i know that there are 4 different designs. (Snitch, Deathly Hallows, Dark Mark and Hogwarts crest). I'm not found of the dark arts but i tend to like the dark mark design, so i'm happy i received this one.



This box also include a collective figure of Harry Potter himself and i was curious to see if this is a isolated item or if there will be others like the collectible pins. 
I like the material and the design of the figure, i have to be honest i would prefer a funko pop but this one is also good, it is more serious if you know what i mean. 

This moth shirt is a vibrant blue one with a niffler in it. There are a lot of stuff like coins and diamonds all around and the sentence " Every Day i'm Nifflin". 
This is my favourite fantastic beast so i'm quite happy with this design and i will definitly be using it a lot. 
This shirt are the answer to one of the clues and i was not expecting it to be on the shirt, i think i expected it to be a niffler pin or a niffler figure. 

After we have a wand =D and OMG i was so happy with this! For those of you that do not know i'm doing a wand collection so i really love when i received wands.

This one is also related to a clue and of course it's Newts wand, it is the first one i have from Fantastic beasts but i do not mind a little and i really like it. 

The last thing in this month box is a print of the hogwarts express. Again it is related to the last clue we got and again i was not expecting it to be the print. 
It is fine but i do not love it and in my opinion we have received better pints that this one. 

If i have to rate this box i will give it 3 out of 5*, there are items i love but in general they are not great. 
The thing i like most is of course the wand and the one i could dismiss more easly is the print. 

I will not received the October box but i hope i will be back in November with the Christmas one =D
