Rebel Mechanics by Shanna Swendson - Retail Value $17.99 (On Amazon for $11.48)
Book Summary from Amazon:
It's 1888, and seventeen-year-old Verity Newton lands a job in New York as a governess to a wealthy leading family--but she quickly learns that the family has big secrets. Magisters have always ruled the colonies, but now an underground society of mechanics and engineers are developing non-magical sources of power via steam engines that they hope will help them gain freedom from British rule. The family Verity works for is magister--but it seems like the children's young guardian uncle is sympathetic to the rebel cause. As Verity falls for a charming rebel inventor and agrees to become a spy, she also becomes more and more enmeshed in the magister family's life. She soon realizes she's uniquely positioned to advance the cause--but to do so, she'll have to reveal her own dangerous secret.
Compass Rose Design Bookmark - Value $10?
I love how this bookmark matches the cover!
Winter pin - bonus item
I normally don't get excited for pins in any box - but I can't wait for Winter to come out! (If you haven't read this series yet, I recommend reading Cinder asap!)
Litographs Temporary Tattoo - Value $2.50
From browsing Instagram, it looks like there is some variation in which type of tattoo you may receive.
Signed Bookplate Sticker
Almost every month Uppercase box includes a signed bookplate to go with the book - I love this extra!
Rose Gold Ampersand Necklace - Value $15?
Not sure yet if this has anything to do with the book, but it looks like a good bookish goodie to me!
Verdict: I'm a big fan of this subscription - I love getting a new hand-picked hardcover YA book each month, and so far I've enjoyed every book Lisa has picked. Plus I think the bookish goodies are always thoughtfully chosen. If you value those things, I would recommend this subscription.
