Review: 
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.

FairyLoot - November 2018

Theme: Battles & Galaxies

• Wooden Ornament by Catarina's Book Designs

• Galaxy Straws by FairyLoot
• Iron-on Patch by KDP Letters
• Tote Bag by Evie Bookish

Review: 

This month's theme was Battles & Galaxies. I wasn't instantly sold on this box to begin with. Thought it sounded good but I didn't know any of the books so I was going to give it a pass. However they later announced they were releasing a tote bag in the box, which convinced me to get the box. I was glad I did as it was a good box.

The first item was the Galaxy bath bomb. Due to my eczema, I can't use bath bombs so I gave this item to my sister. Before I did I could smell it straight away and it smelt really nice and strong. My sister also sent me a video of the bath bomb being used and it did look really pretty. So even though I couldn't appreciate it myself, it did seem of good quality. 


Then we had the passport cover. I don't see much point in passport covers personally, but it can be used for covers for other things like travel passes. The design wasn't themed around any book, just a FairyLoot inspired passport cover. It does look nice and I will use it.

The wooden ornament was very cute. I believe it's purpose is to be used on a Christmas tree, but I like it so I'm gonna put it on my bookcase instead so I can see it all year. The quote itself is from William Shakespeare and it says 'It is not in the Stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves'. It's very inspirational and pretty. 

One of the items I particularly loved was the space coaster set. Even though I haven't read the Lunar Chronicles, I do think the quotes are really nice and the design is very pretty. Also appreciated that there was more than just one coaster. 

I would say my favourite item however was the straws. I always use a straw but I've been using plastic ones, so I'm glad to have metal reusable straws now. Also the design of the straws are beautiful and I love the little phases on them.  I also appreciate how one straw is a bent straw and the other is straight. To make my life easier, FairyLoot also provided a straw cleaner so I can make these straws last forever. One of the straws says 'Shine Bright' and the other says 'Reach for the Stars'. Both of these straws remind me of songs.

Then we got the iron-on patch which will make another nice addition to my book cover. This one is a quote from Red Rising by Pierce Brown, again I haven't read this book but still appreciate the design and like collecting patches and badges from the boxes. I like how it's black and white, quite simply really but very pretty.

Another favourite item of the box was the tote bag, after all it was the item to convince me to buy the box. This was inspired by the Illiuminae series. It has a great colourful design, and a great quote to match. I look forward to using this as my new gym bag. The quote says 'Perhaps bravery is simply the face humanity wraps around its collective madness.'

This months book is Skyward by Brandon Sanderson. I've been told that he is quite a big american author, so it's good to see FairyLoot reaching more people. I've not read any of his stuff before but I look forward to reading it (and reviewing it). The pages were sprayed yellow, which is another colour to add to my rainbow of books from FairyLoot. It also suits the book cover really well. 

This months box also included a bonus item of a free eBook. This book is called Atlas Fallen by Jessica Pierce and I look forward to reading this too. I hope they do more free eBooks, in the future.

Overall, I did like this box. I didn't love it as much as ones I had in the past but it was still really good. I'm going to say 4 stars.
