So this book box seemed quite fitting for me as I do like to read quite a lot of sci-fi, I also have the majority of the series on my TBR so I thought I'd get it as I should like the items.
I received this box the same time as I got October's so I was generally quite excited to open it to see how it compared, when I first got the box though I did think that something was broken as it rattled. I'll now get onto actually reviewing the items.
The first item on the spoiler card is the galaxy bath bomb, this was quite a powerful smell and I didn't have to open the box to smell it. The smell is nice though and I think I will enjoy it, but I sadly don't have a bath in this current house so when I move in February I will try it out.
The next item was a passport cover, this was something different that I really wasn't expecting to have been included in a box. The design was quite snazzy really and I did like how it was like a girl thinking with the planets, moon and stars around her head. Well that's how I interpreted it anyways, someone else may have a different opinion.
The wooden ornament I didn't really like, it was just too plain, I wish it had some colour in it or didn't look so tatty. The quote was quite fitting though for the box, so I wouldn't really put the box down for this one item.
Space coaster set was really good, I loved the colours, and I loved the quotes. I can't wait to use them in my new house. The designs and art work on them are really cool too. It is nice to actually have more than one coaster too like other past boxes.
The galaxy straws were the item that made me think that one of the items were broken as they rattled when the box was moved. It was nice to have 2 different style straws so you could use them for different types of drinks, it was also really good to include a straw cleaner which were all in a nice little velvet bag. I didn't notice the quotes until I actually read the spoiler card. So I went hunting for them.
The red rising iron on patch was good too, but I just found that most the items were mainly black and white with no colour so I wasn't really that attracted to it. I did like the quote on it though as I have with most items within this box.
The tote bag was really colourful and a weird material, but it was quite handy. It's a nice size and you can fit quite a lot of stuff in it, especially books. The only thing that I'd really like to change about the tote bags that have been included in past boxes is to have some sort of fastening so you can close it and don't see what's inside the bag, but that may be just how I feel.
The book was Skyward by Brandon Sanderson. I loved the sprayed edges as it was my favourite colour. I also really like the cover compared to the US one, I wasn't so bothered that it wasn't signed as a friend offered me a signed bookplate that she ordered. I have finished this book and the review will be up shortly.
