In the past, I’ve always watched people do these great unboxing posts and videos of their subscription boxes, and I’ve always wanted to do that. Both be in a position to get monthly subscription boxes, and to share the unboxings each month.

When selecting which boxes to subscribe to, it was important to me to find things that a) were things that I loved, and b) fit with my goals and values. I’m happy to say that the boxes I have chosen do just that.

In this post I’m sharing the only book box that I currently receive (I’m on the waitlist for Owl Crate, but who knows how long that will take), The Bookworm Box. I get the Young Adult version, though they also offer an Adult version of the box. The box is put together by Colleen Hoover and company. While this box isn’t going to give you a lot of the glam and big name titles with special editions, they do donate ALL profits to different charities each month, so that made it the perfect box for me. Plus I get introduced to some lesser known authors each month.

Each box comes with a book, bookmark, coordinated candle, pen, a specialty item, and assorted swag which is usually bookmarks and/or stickers from previous releases by featured authors.

Here is a look at everything that came in my April box.

This month’s candle is a glittery cinnamon vanilla scent, so yummy!

The gift this month was a double. An adorable drink sleeve plus a really cool key chain.

The bookmark for the month. And finally, this month’s book:

Forbidden by Amy Miles

Roseline Enescue didn’t ask to become an Immortal, to have all of the guests at her wedding slaughtered, or be forced into marriage with a man whose lust for blood would one day ignite the vampire legend. Willing to risk everything for a chance at a normal life, Roseline escapes to America. Terrified her husband Vladimir will find her, Roseline enrolls as a senior in Chicago’s elite Rosewood Prep school. Mingling with humans is the last place he would look for her. But her transition into the human world isn’t easy. Mortal men flock after her while cutthroat girls plot her demise. Yet Roseline remains relatively unfazed by the petty hysteria until she falters into the arms of Gabriel Marston, reluctant MVP quarterback, unwilling ladies man, and sensitive artist in hiding. Troubled by the bond that pulls her towards the mortal boy, Roseline tries to ignore him, but Gabriel is persistent. As their lives entwine, Roseline begins to realize that Gabriel is much more than he appears. His ability to toss a football the entire length of the field and grind concrete into dust pales in comparison to the glowing blue cross tattoo that mysteriously appears on his forearms. Despite the forbidden bond between them, Roseline can’t help wondering what Gabriel is: He’s not human. He’s not Immortal. So just what is he?

Each month I’ll be sharing what arrives in my Bookworm box, as well as my other subscription boxes (The Sisterhood Box,  The CatLadyBox and Nadine West).
