#BookHookedBox

[booksandtea]

It should be no surprise after my announcement post that I eventually posted a Book Hooked Box unboxing. I had planned to do January’s but by the time I finished photographing and editing it I was in a cast and honestly this is just an excuse you’re going to see for a lot of upcoming posts.

So I had Januarys and I loved it but opted to skip Februarys as I’m not hugely into Dystopians lately but after figuring out what March’s book would be I just knew I needed it.

For those who don’t know though, Book Hooked Box is a UK book subscription box with a focus on providing you a hardback book and items you’ll love and use that month too. The items will help to create a relaxing and indulgent experience for you so you can live your best bookish life tbh.

M A G I C A L  H E A L I N G

The main goodie of this box is a signed bookplate + deckled edged edition of The Antidote by Shelley Sackier, with a letter from the author.

Whilst I actually got this book earlier this year from Harper I’ve yet to finish reading it – sorry guys! Again I can blame breaking my wrist for this because I started consuming a lot and then got overwhelmed with being behind on reviews so yay.

However, what I have read I do like and I’m very ready to put some time aside with a hot choclate and finish reading it.

Synopsis: Magic is not allowed, under any circumstances — even if it could save someone’s life. Instead, there are herbal remedies and traditional techniques that have been painstakingly recorded in lieu of using the mystical arts. Fee knows this, so she keeps her magic a secret.

Except her best friend, Xavi, is deathly ill. He’s also the crown prince. Saving him is important, not only for her, but for the entire kingdom.

Fee’s desperation to save her friend means she can barely contain the magic inside her. And after the tiniest of slips, Fee is thrust into a dark and secretive world that is as alluring as it is dangerous.

If she gives in, it could mean she can save Xavi. But it also means that those who wish to snuff out magic might just snuff her out in the process.

As I’ve mentioned in my first post Book Hooked Box’s main aim is for the box to be affordable and to provide a relaxing experience foryou whilst cosying up with your new book. Its safe to say I definitely think they’ve achieved this.

Full Item List: – Myosotis Sylvatica Botanical Bath Oil from Hearth & Heritage – A four piece luxury chocolate bos from Whitakers Chocolates – Marshmallows & Milk Chocolate Hot Chocolate Stirrer from Pendragon Drinks – Themed Artwork from R.N. Merle – Hocus Pocus themed bookmark from Felfira Moon Designs – Mandrake pin from Spellwork Studio (extra item) – one of four Autumn Witch prints from Oktoberdots (extra item) & the back of the spoiler card was designed by Tecsielity

I had a nice late night reading session where I enjoyed my chocolates – which really helped because it was one of those nights where you stay up so late you start to feel hungry but dont want to wake the whole house up.

I actually used some of the bath oil earlier tonight too and omg I am in love. My skin is so soft and it didn’t make my hair feel gross so that’s awesome.

Anyway I’m really pleased with this box and unfortuantely I think they’re sold out of Aprils so you’ll have to keep your eye out for Mays which I am very excited for too.

Stain was from their January box!

Have you read The Antidote yet?

Love this! Posted @withregram • @thorn_n_thistle_reads So I have decided to create a public bookstagram. I got back into reading at the end of 2019 (I will share the author who sparked my joy again) and in January 2020 this was my first book box. Bi-Monthly YA books with some self care via @bookhookedbox who has now made me obsessed with @gardnerscookies cookies (I have sent several to family members). Shamelessly 🙈 I haven't read the book yet BUT I have read a few pages and I will be reading it soon @brmyerswriter. Instead I have accumulated a small TBR and been plugging away at them all. #bookhookedbox #fantasyreads #fantasybooks #yafantasy #yafantasyreads #books https://www.instagram.com/p/CH6DwcYAJZ3/?igshid=1smowdk4g865b

📚 i finished reading THE FURIES by @fatgirlphd and it was really something! It blurred the lines perfectly between real life and witchcraft whilst exploring some much heavier themes and topics. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ i desperately want to pick up WICKED SAINTS by @glitzandshadows but i think i need to focus on my YALC tbr, 6 book tbr, and prep for a readathon i want to do next month too... so many books and so little time. ____ QOTD: what books have u been reading this month? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ { #bookstagrammer #bookcommunity #bookaesthetic #bookaddict #booksforlife #bookishlife #bookishphotography #readersofinstsgram #wickedsaints #thefuries #katielowe #emilyaduncan #incense #birdskull #witchbook #witchcraft #witchesdoitbetter #owlcrate #bookhookedbox } http://bit.ly/2WEAK8P

⭐ // decided to hop into a rep search because its all about believing in yourself. the rep search is for @ashandquillcandles who's work i love. her strawberry daiquiri wax sampler is currently melting in our hallway and its PERFECT. i have a cold at the moment (thank u yalc) and i can smell it!! i also have one of her candles from @bookhookedbox which ive been burning for the past two months ans honestly witchcraft i tell u!! it never disappears. so because her work blows my mind i 100% need to enter this. but a little about me i guess: im lauren, 25, and from the uk. im rly passionate about books and video games. i collect candles and actually use them, but still have a drawer full. also i rly like tea!! ive been blogging v consistantly this year, and made a huge focus to improve my instagame too. https://ift.tt/2LSKqqt

📚 // having a look at some older photos and wanted to share these lovely naked spines of THE ANTIDOTE by @shelleysackier and STAIN by @aghoward_writes which were my first two boxes from @bookhookedbox and just happen to match each other really well. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ the theme reveal for NOVEMBER'S box will be happening soon and i cant wait to see what its going to be. remember this is a great box for a small cost and every item is always useable and focused on a relaxing experience. ive only recently finished burning a @ashandquillcandles they included because it lasted so long and smelt great. ____ QOTD: have you read either of these books? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ { #bookhookedbox #subscriptionbox #bookishbox #unboxing #bookbox #bookishbath #booklovingfeatures #theantidote #shelleysackier #stain #aghoward #theprincessandthepea #retelling #fairytaleretelling #healingmagic #bookstagrammer #bookcommunity #bookaesthetic #bookaddict #booksforlife #bookishlife #bookishphotography #readersofinstagram } https://ift.tt/2IcMqpN
