POPSUGAR Must Have Box November 2017 Box Spoiler #1

Spoilers posted on the forum. Glad I saved my $40 this month. Hoping for a 50% off Black Friday deal…

Oh my! I cancelled all my subs but boxycharm and Ellie. I had 18 other ones but with product overload and the holidays I opted to cancel all but 2. I am sure suffering FOMO like crazy and I wonder how good my will power will be as spoilers start popping up for November boxes.

You think Lisa chose this book cause it’s blue , we know it’s her fave color and all
but I don’t need anymore books either

I read on my kindle, I think that a gift card from amazon to let us choose our own book or download would be awesome !!

Anyway I’m not subscribing until I see more spoilers

It’s hilarious & sad how many of these books were listed on the swap board the day of this spoiler.

So glad I pick & choose which months I want of PS!

My box shipped and this is the only spoiler? This is the final box of my subscription and I’m not tempted to resub. Come on popsugar. Give me a reason to want more

I’ve been a subscriber for roughly three years, most things I use or gift. It’s shopping I don’t have time to do.

Would really wish they would stop with the books. Something more sustainable like a download option, would be a better solution.

I really can’t see any of the books over the last few years being in any danger of rampant copyright infringement. They aren’t horrible but not exactly blockbuster releases either.

I cannot wait for this! I actually signed up when I saw with subscription comes with books from time to time! I generally like true crime/thrillers/essays but I love a good celebrity memoir from time to time! Great choice, got me hooked!

Wow. This is the spoiler they think is just the thing to tempt me to buy the box? Wow. I went to amazon to read the description and saw there was a kirkus review (one of the sources I use regularly to purchase for the library), and it seemed positive. Then I read the actual review the blurb came from. Here’s the final line: “A mildly compelling celebrity memoir primarily for fans of the author’s podcast.” Definitely not my reading style, especially since I don’t read celeb bios anyway. I hope the rest of the box is a better match!

I was very excited to open the spoiler email and then when saw that it was a book, I was hugely disappointed. I love to read, but what I like even more is not storing books at home. That’s why I have a library card. Read, return, repeat. I hope the rest of the box is better.

I hope they have a good black Friday sale. I would read this book. I would also like cook books as a self help alternative. Maybe next time!

OH EM GEE… ANOTHER book from Popsugar? At this rate if I stay subscribed to PS for another five years I’ll have what, 12 books? OH The HUMANITY.

No!! Not another book!! So sad about this!

It’s as if the curators at PopSugar know me! I’m home on maternity leave through November and between October’s box full of sleep aiding comfiness and amazing coffee coupons and November’s book from Anna Faris who’s podcast I love they’re making my time home with the LO even better. Thank you, PopSugar!

I think this book is very on-brand for pop sugar. New release, celebrity, she’s making the talk show rounds… it’s timely and fits their likely “core demographic” based on their website. Most of their books do, in my opinion. That said- it’s not for me.
They sent a survey awhile back asking for feedback… and they probably got the feedback that 1-2 books a year works for the majority. Seems in line with the comments here.
When my dad was in the hospital someone had left a few books in the waiting room and it was a godsend. There are many ways to spread joy around and light reading like this is pretty easy to re-home!

Please no more books! I will take a repeat of something from the past boxes anything but a book.

I think all the comments about “we don’t want relationship advice from someone mid-divorce” are extremely ignorant. We don’t know what happened in their relationship. Perhaps staying and “making it work” would have been the wrong thing to do. Just because someone is married doesn’t mean they are in a good relationship or that they are good at relationships. Perhaps she can offer some advice about knowing yourself and knowing what is better and healthier for yourself, your partner and your child. Maybe she made a wise choice.

All the judging and assuming being married equals being “good at relationships” is ridiculous.

I read 7-10 books a month but an advice book from a D list actress is not what I call good reading! How boring! Popsugar sends the worst books in the world! How about some psychological thrillers or new releases from well known authors! Who the hell cares what some nobody like Anna Farris has to say about life!

As a person who is just starting the process of divorce, this book would be golden for me. I don’t subscribe to Pop but, hey, I’m going to be broke during the process so if anyone if willing to give a soon-to-be-broke divorcee a free book, I’ll take you up on it!

FYI, this is actually her “second” divorce. I’m no relationship expert but I read where she said she won’t move on unless she has someone else waiting in the wings. She met Pratt and divorced her first husband. I don’t find much compelling about her and to spend my time reading about a person who isn’t very admirable or interesting beyond their personal drama seems like a waste. Lastly, most of these books aren’t even “written” by these celebs. They dictate the book to a ghostwriter who does all the work.

Not too excited for the book as I am a graduate student who doesn’t even have enough time to read things assigned. But it bothers me people are saying she’s unfit to give relationship advice cause she’s going through a divorce. Her relationship gave her experience and advice that can be both good things she’s learned and bad things she’s learned. There’s married people who would be far less helpful in relationship advice. Don’t discount her advice because of a divorce-thats very disappointing and very judgementful.

Am I remembering correctly that the Black Friday deal last year started with us getting the November box (which meant you got 2 of the same box if you were already subscribed)?

Hoping the rest of the items fit in with the entertaining theme.

After reading some of these comments, it wouldn’t hurt some of you to read a book.

No more books in lifestyle boxes, PLEASE! Reading taste is too subjective for them to ever be universal. Plus, I exclusively read on my tablets now. Paper books and magazines are just clutter I don’t need. And not to be cruel, but relationship advice from someone mid-divorce? No.

I’m sure there will be a lot of awesome items in this box… but for me this is a total miss particularly in November?

Book for pool season, maybe.
Book for spring break flights, okay.
Book For the cold nights in January, sure.
Book during the holidays… ummm regift?

No one has time to read in mid November. Not. One. Person. Like even on a plane I’m too busy, and let’s be honest I don’t really want my airport convo starter to be “unqualified.”

Is Popsugar getting paid to include a book? Bc if that means we get more goodies…. bring on the bookssss!

If anyone wants my book I will send it out to you when it gets here. Don’t want anything in return.
