Each box also includes exclusive content from authors and publishers too. Available for one-time box, three or six-month subscriptions.
Everything shipped in a cardboard box.

Jessica S. Olson A Forgery of Roses
Each book comes wrapped in plastic with a note from the author on the back. Each book is hand signed by the author.
I love that each book is hand signed.
About this month's book:
Myra has a gift many would kidnap, blackmail, and worse to control: she’s a portrait artist whose paintings alter people’s bodies. Guarding that secret is the only way to keep her younger sister safe now that their parents are gone. But one frigid night, the governor’s wife discovers the truth and threatens to expose Myra if she does not complete a special portrait that would resurrect the governor's dead son.
Once she arrives at the legendary stone mansion, however, it becomes clear the boy’s death was no accident. A killer stalks these halls–one disturbingly obsessed with portrait magic. Desperate to get out of the manor as quickly as possible, Myra turns to the governor’s older son for help completing the painting before the secret she spent her life concealing makes her the killer’s next victim.
Tiara L'Hommedieu Book Sleeve
Tiara created this book sleeve from her inspiration by Daughter of Smole and Bone! The book sleeve is padded, so the book stays protected. The front of the sleeve features a woman with blue hair. The back of the sleeve has the quote “Hope makes its own magic”.
This looks like a book, but it's an album to store photos or artwork in each box. The front of the album has the phrase “You are a living rose among wax flowers”. I like the antique look of the book.
Four Seasons Fox Night Court Embroidery Kit
This embroidery kit was created by Four Seasons Fox and was inspired by A Court of Throns & Roses. There is a QR code included that gives you link to the full instructions on how to create the finished piece.
Isabel Ibanez Sticker Sheet
The stickers are made of a thicker material, so they won't rip when you remove one. They are filled with quotes from Wintersong, The Kingdom of Back, Woven in Moonlight, and Henry Matisse. My favorite is the stcker on music.
Fiction Bath Co Dorian Gray Face Mask
This face mask is made with combining 1-2 tablespoons of distilled water with 1-2 tablespoons of the mask. Mix for 25-30 seconds until it's clump free.Apply to you face, leave on 10-15 min, then rinse off.
Hey Atlas Creative Literary Luggage enamel pin
There was a pink included in the box that is of a library. The pin from Hey Atlas Creative and is of Great Linrary of Summershall, from the book A Socery of Thorns.
Final Thought: Owl Crate is a fantastic subscription box for people who love young adult literature. The box included several items that coordinate with the featured book. My favorite items are the book, and padded book sleeve. If you want to try Owl Crate, use this link.
