Looking for the latest spoiler for this box? Find it here:
On the plus side, both boxes have great (and different) items in addition to the book, and This Savage Song is getting rave reviews - I can't wait to read it!

Unfortunately this is the third month in a row that I’ve gotten the same book in both OwlCrate and Uppercase (2months) or LitJoy(1month) – and I’ve only gotten OwlCrate for 3months total so I’m really not happy with their record! Actually, I’m vastly disappointed. Something’s going to have to give and it’s likely to be OwlCrate, but I’m going to have to go check. I think I may have signed up for a six month subscription and if I’ve already paid for it, if may mean a temporary hiatus on Uppercase until my Owlcrate runs out and then back to Uppercase and cancel Owlcrate. But no more paying for books twice. To add insult to injury, I have ARCs from these last three months worth of books from Y’allWest – so not only did I pay for each of these books twice, I already owned them before either bookclub sent them! Arrgghh!

Hey there! If anyone wanted to swap their OwlCrate box, I’d be more than willing! I was hoping for a ‘good,’ but sadly got an ‘evil’ 🙁
If you’re in the opposite position, I’d love to swap with you! 😀

I love the Uppercase this month. Saturday, I was going to head out to look for this book. Today, I realized I needed more post-it’s, so I was delighted to open the mailbox and find the vintage stickies. Sadly, I missed the deadline to buy this month’s OwlCrate. I hope everyone enjoys whichever box they receive (Good, Evil or Uppercase.)

My Uppercase book for the month was A Darker Side of Magic – but I get the personalized option. Did you get to pick if you wanted to get Good or Evil for OwlCrate?

What is the personalized option and how do you get it? I’ve had uppercase for about 2 years and never heard of this.

With the personalized option you get a book based on a preferences survey (and your good reads profile if you have one). There’s an option on your account page, but I’m sure you could also email them. It is more expensive, but I think it’s worth it! I’ve had it for about a year now and there’s only been 1 book (the 2nd one I was sent I think) that I didn’t like. And you still get all the bookish goodies 🙂

Good and Evil were randomly assigned.

My daughter and I were just discussing how much she wants owl crate but that the books could be the same! Btw, her book came today from Uppercase and it is not signed?

I didn’t think my Uppercase book was signed but it is. Check right before the title page, there’s a page that looks like the cover but has a silver signature near the bottom and an Uppercase stamp at the top.

The signature is there, Anna! Thank you for pointing that out. My daughter was restored to her grateful self. lol
Jennifer
I will take a look tomorrow, daughter is asleep like I should be. Thanks Anna!

I’m super bummed! This is a $65.98 mistake that I can’t afford to happen again. I like Uppercase better, the books are signed by the author. I’ll have to say goodbye to Owlcrate for now. ????

The book looks good and I liked the extras in the Uppercase box (my OwlCrate hasn’t shipped yet). If this happens a third time I will have to cancel one of the two. I love them both but they are too expensive to keep both if they keep having the same book.

Thank you for the clarification- D. Lynn. I hope that I do not get a repeat. You posted your note as I was posting mine.

The book is the same.
But the Funko figure will be Dobby. (Evil – Draco)
The necklace will be the Millennium Falcon. (Evil – Death Star)
The magnetic bookmark will be Alice. (Evil – The Red Queen.)

There are four possible POPs:
Evil: Draco Malfoy or Dementor
Good: Luna Lovegood or Dobby
The only one I don’t already have is Luna, so of course I got Draco.

I got the Good box and got Luna Lovegood. Good boxes got that one or Dobby. Evil also has 2 possibilities.
Danielle Lynn
I’m torn. I love the Dobby Funko but I think I’d prefer the evil box…. What about you? Which are you hoping for?
Melissa
Unfortunately, the book will be the same regardless of which box (good or evil) that you get. From the very very few variations I’ve seen between boxes, the coloring book and the necklace are the same in every box.

I love both of these subscription boxes, but if this happens again- I have to say good bye to one of the subscriptions. The last subscription I gave my duplicate copy to my mom. I hope that this does not happen again! I hope that these two boxes are not using the same vendor or- where they get their books. I would hate to cancel one!

These aren’t the OwlCrate full spoilers ..? This is just one box. You have the chance of getting either a “Good” or an “Evil” box. This is just one of the possible boxes you can get.

Kayla
But unfortunately Owl Crate did say it’s the same book for both boxes, good or evil so those who subscribe to both Owl Crate and Uppercase will definitely be receiving duplicate books.
Reply
Danielle Lynn
Yes. The items will be different. Just OWLCRATE is the one that does not actually contain the FULL spoilers.
Jen
Yikes!!!!! What are the chances of that 2 months in a row? Especially when it’s never happened before. I hated to see it go, but cancelled Uppercase after last month and kept Owl Crate….guess I made a good decision…
