Wolf by Wolf by Ryan Graudin - Retail Value $18 (On Amazon for $9.90)
Book Summary from Amazon:
The year is 1956, and the Axis powers of the Third Reich and Imperial Japan rule. To commemorate their Great Victory, they host the Axis Tour: an annual motorcycle race across their conjoined continents. The prize? An audience with the highly reclusive Adolf Hitler at the Victor's ball in Tokyo.
Yael, a former death camp prisoner, has witnessed too much suffering, and the five wolves tattooed on her arm are a constant reminder of the loved ones she lost. The resistance has given Yael one goal: Win the race and kill Hitler. A survivor of painful human experimentation, Yael has the power to skinshift and must complete her mission by impersonating last year's only female racer, Adele Wolfe. This deception becomes more difficult when Felix, Adele's twin brother, and Luka, her former love interest, enter the race and watch Yael's every move.
But as Yael grows closer to the other competitors, can she be as ruthless as she needs to be to avoid discovery and stay true to her mission?From the author of The Walled City comes a fast-paced and innovative novel that will leave you breathless.

This book also came with a signed bookplate sticker.
Icey Designs Notebook - Value $6?
(I couldn't find this exact notebook on their site, so I'm estimating the value)
UPDATE - Not all subscribers received this item, so I'm going to remove it from the value estimate/verdict.
Peachy Apricot Certified Book Addict Keychain - Value $8
This is an Uppercase exclusive design! Also - if you are a Parks and Rec fan I recommend checking the Peachy Apricot etsy shop!
Oscar Wilde Print by Risa Rodil - Value $10?
This is another exclusive design for Uppercase subscribers! (There have been a few Risa Rodil designed items in past boxes, so subscribers will probably have a little Risa Rodil collection by now!)
Verdict: This box has a value of about $28 (that's using the discounted Amazon price of the book). I'm happy with that value for a book box. Plus I'm excited to read Wolf by Wolf. It gets excellent reviews, and this alternative history theme seems to be popular right now. (I've heard good things about The Man in the High Castle too).
What do you think of the November Uppercase box?
