The Bookish Box Subscription Box Review – June 2015

I tried really hard to read the first twilight book, twice. The first time I tried I did so cause everyone was talking about how great it was, I read the first chapter, could not get into it, and put it back. After telling people I just couldn’t get into it people told me “it doesn’t get good till about 100 pages in” or “It doesn’t get good till chapter 3”. So I picked it back up, read 150 pages, still didn’t like the story and now I had also started to get annoyed with grammar/sentence structure issues. So, I put it back down and never tried again.

Personally, I loved this. From the box to the inside packaging to the items included, it was apparent that they put a lot of thought into the curation and presentation. It may not be for everybody, but it is a great collection of book-themed items, so it was a perfect hit for me.

I found this by searching a while on google but there does not seem to be a link to get to it. So was just wondering if you were going to add this one? As i have to wait a while and will then need to search again. 😀

Where can I purchase that post card?!

Hey!
Thanks for reviewing our box, just a quick FYI, the post cards are 2$, and when I estimate the value per box, I’m included shipping if you were to purchase the items, from the shops. So you wouldn’t pay 4.50 for shipping, you would look at an additional 1-5$ in shipping per item:) love seeing the feedback from your review and all these comments! Certainly ideas to keep in mind:)

Well, I tried it. Not worth the money to me for basically a t-shirt. Cancelled.

My box is currently locked somewhere in my mailbox. We have the neighborhood boxes at the end of the street and the mailman must have stuck the key for the big box for packages in someone else’s box. My tracking says it was delivered but I haven’t gotten it yet.

I really like the idea but I wish the curation and value were better. I like the Alice card and the other little items look ok but nothing special. The main item is the shirt and if you get one you don’t like or won’t wear that’s kind of a bummer. For the cost of the box or less I could pick out and order a literary tee I want from an etsy shop or online vendor.

I love the idea but I wish there was one for men or unisex. I probably wouldn’t pay this price with every box containing feminine hygiene products. Cool idea though.

I liked the shirt but not enough to keep this subscription. I don’t have much use for temporary tattoos and tea leaves don’t excite me. As for the candle..I wouldn’t be able to describe the scent either except to say it’s kind of..disgusting. It doesn’t really smell when it burns though so that’s a win!

What does the “old books” candle smell like?
