Past Boxes

January 2025

Our January 2025 box featured three signed books, with two of them being personalized to the subscriber's name! Subscribers received Shadowed Moonlight by K.C. Harper, The Starlight Heir by Amalie Howard, and Virch by Laura Resau. This box also included a facemask, four fantasy themed coasters, and a candle.
Virch art was created in Canva by Sarah (co-founder of Fantasy Bookly) as was The Starlight Heir art which featured AI, and collage techniques in Canva. While we always want to support artisits first, we recognize the significant sensory opportunity to receive a visual of characters and scenes and loved being able to provide that.
Shadowed Moonlight Art was comissioned by K.C. Harper from Zane M. Fannin @zanemichaelfannin on Instagram. K.C. Harper gave us permission to include in our box. The candle featured 'It's Not Smut It's Cliterature' text. Subscribers even got to choose the scent they wanted, including unscented for those with sensitivities!

Our October 2024 box included three signed books, two of which were personalized, thank you Donna and R.L. Perez! The books in this box were The Stars Are Dying by C.C. Penaranda, The Bastard King by Donna Grant, and Crown of Slumber by R.L. Perez.
Custom dust cover created by Camila Câmara Instagram @smillallart. We are so lucky to work with incredible publishers, authors, and artists to bring you incredible boxes each quarter.
For October 2024, we leaned into the Halloween theme with a black and gold witch cup, a ghost library sweatshirt, and a skull skincare facemask. The Stars Are Dying also featured sprayed edges!

Our July 2024 box included three signed books (two of which were personalized with the subscriber's name). Hannah Levin, author of The Treasured One also included book art, a bookmark, and a sticker (all shown below) for our subscribers along with a personalized signature - thanks Hannah!
Custom art for this box was a dust cover for Forgotten Shadow by Taylor Patterson. Art created by Nicole Bustamante. We love the attention to detail she included on the main couple! And special thanks to Taylor, who also personalized her signatures in the books.
Tier 3 always receives bookly goodies, and this time around we included a Morally Grey tote, a customized bookmark with the letter of their first name, a black cup for them to personalize, and book tabs! Shout out to our final author, Alexandra Ivy, who wrote Wild Magic, and wrote different messages on her signed bookplates.

Our three books for April were all signed by the authors! We had A Feather So Black by Lyra Selene, The Bride of Death by F.M. Aden and Heartless Hunter by Kristen Ciccarelli.
Our April box was spring themed. We included a ceramic book vase and leaf bookmark as a couple of the goodies in our Tier 3 box.
Our Tier 2 and 3 subscribers enjoyed the custom dust cover for Heartless Hunter and Tier 3 also received the "Reading is Self-Care" tee.

Our January box was Valentine's themed and included a heart shaped tea infuser, loose leaf tea, a skeleton valentine's mug, assorted chocolate, love connection cards, soap scented to smell like the lead from one of the books, and a special candle inspired by a top contender for this box.
Our books for January were City of Stardust by Georgia Summers - a special thank you for the signed book plates for our subscribers, Georgia! Blood Queen by Caitlin Denman - another special thank you, Caitlin for signing the books and including stickers for our subscribers! And lastly Courting War by Hazel St. Lewis.
A huge thank you to Hazel who made the Courting War books extra special for our subscribers. She hand painted the edges, she signed the insides, she included an author letter, and book art, both printed in the pages and then additional colored pieces outside of the book.

Our October Tier 3 box featured lots of goodies, including an iridescent skull cup, Halloween mug, fall teas, Halloween candle, bookish stickers, vampire face mask, two anatomically correct heart shape soaps, and three incredible books: The Atonement of the Spine Cleaver, The Unmaking of Them, and Fall of Ruin and Wrath! Tier 2 received all three books, and Tier 1 got to pick 2 out of the 3 books
Two of our books for October came signed! We are thankful to F.E. Bryce for signing copies of Atonement of the Spine Cleaver for our Subscribers and to H.A. Watson for sending bookplates, stickers, and custom book art to include with their book, The Unmaking of Them! We advocate for signatures to make our boxes special, but that wouldn't be possible without incredible authors such as these!
The custom dust cover option was for Fall of Ruin And Wrath by Jennifer L. Armentrout. We designed it with the book themes in mind. There are embossed designs all over the book along with gold in front and back to highlight the text. A huge thank you to Jennifer and her team for approving this dust cover for our subscribers!

For our launch, we had to go big with our packaging. Our favorite touch is the "Caution: Only Open If You're Ready To Explore Other Worlds" message on the lip of the box.
Our launch box included Garden of the Cursed by Katy Rose Pool. A big thank you to Katy for sending signed bookplates for each book and to artist Wavy Hues for designing the custom dust cover! We also included Claire Legrand's A Crown of Ivy and Glass and Laura Thalassa's Bewitched, which included a letter to our readers from Laura herself!
We worked with small businesses on Etsy to curate goodies that are fun and useful and support other small business owners such as ourselves. Tier 3 received a bookish tee, wooden bookmark, and stickers.
