I recently received my August crate box from Cratejoy, and I'm excited to share my thoughts on this month's package with you. The box itself is plain and paper-like, but the end papers are really beautiful and the hardcover actually says "Not for Resale" - a nice touch.
The book that comes with the box is a signed copy of "Grayson Fury: We're Not Flowers, We're Concrete and Barbed Wire" by an unknown author. The book itself is about two sisters who lead separate lives but team up to start a war against the oppressive world that's determined to break them down. I'm really interested in this book because it's about women fighting back against a patriarchal society that often puts them down.
The box also comes with a little printout of the original book cover, which is very cool. The quote on the bookmark says "We're not flowers, we're concrete and barbed wire" - I love the message behind this. It's all about embracing our strength and fighting back against the world that tries to hold us down.
I'm really excited to dive into this book and read more about Grayson Fury and her sisterhood of survivors. The premise sounds thrilling and captivating, and I appreciate how it highlights the importance of women supporting each other in a world that often tries to push them down.
One thing I like about Cratejoy is their unique approach to packaging each month's box. This month's package came with a little pamphlet that told me more about the book and some fun facts about the author. The box also comes with a few extra goodies, including a signed page from the author, which is really cool.
I've been enjoying Cratejoy's boxes lately because they always seem to include something new and interesting each month. This month was no exception - I received a tin fake book that's really beautiful and would look great on my shelf. I'm also excited about the ring that comes with the box - it's not my style, but I think it would be nice to have a durable mirror in my purse.
My least favorite item in the package is actually the tea towel - it's just too long and not very practical for me. I do like the bookmarks, though - they're beautiful and would make great gifts for book lovers. However, I'm not a fan of magnetic bookmarks myself, so I'll have to pass on those.
Overall, I'm really happy with this month's Cratejoy box. There were some great items inside, including the signed copy of "Grayson Fury" and the beautiful tin fake book. I appreciate how Cratejoy always seems to be pushing themselves to come up with new and interesting things for each box. If you're a fan of bookish crates or just looking for a fun surprise in the mail, I highly recommend checking out Cratejoy.
One last thing - the giveaway is going to be for this exact copy of "Grayson Fury"! If you want a chance to win it, keep an eye on my Instagram account for more information.

got to be from the core prints probably so yes it does open and I says sharpen your blade harden your hearts oh yeah this is definitely from the cool print I really enjoy this this would be great on your bookshelf I have a big fan of putting decor on your bookshelf as you can clearly saved behind me I just I like melding books and random decor together and I feel like it just this cohesive I mean other people like all books on bookshelves some people like all decor on bookshelves I am a mixture of the two I'm Stella bookish arts like I said a quote from The Crow Prince I'm digging this miss rain unless I'm wearing it more the next thing I see is in this beautiful pink pouch Oh what could it be I'm guessing it's designed by I'll create themselves mistake jewelry probably who a Miran it says may you always find beauty this is from the bells by Danielle clay this is actually the sturdiest pocket mirror I've gotten a book box I've gotten some mirrors where it's just not an open one or just it's like an open face kind of just this one side and they're kind of flimsy this one's actually very sturdy like you could throw this in your purse and know it's gonna be okay not break that's why I don't carry on the other wears something it's not gonna last this one will last again this will be great to put on your bookshelf it's great for looking at yourself to be really really vain if you want to do that Treena book designs again very very pretty so we have three so far with the stuff in out great like I really don't know why wait that's right so much it's not my taste the next thing I see their pen they have every month such as a close-up of the actual postcards you're getting the evil at Queens or piece of cake then we have something in this little pouch royal assassin tea towel it says right here there's a tea towel these are great because I think like if you're an expert sewer witch and that you could make this into a tote bag you can put this on your pillow so yeah you could do multiple things or you can use this like as a tea towel which I rarely do so this is oh this is very pretty it says she had often wished for adventure for old spells and wicked Kings this is from her own glass by Sarah J Maas it's very very pretty not perfect for a pillow case for a tote bag this is be great for just eat out or if you want to be really creative you can just put this like on a poster frame like you know saying flatness out put a poster frame on top of it and then frame it that'd be really pretty too because I do like how there's constellations and the gradient of the black and blue very very pretty really enjoying these designs by the way and then the last thing I think we have before we get into the photo just the clothing then we have some bookmarks these are from craft event and they're magnetic bookmarks and it looks like all villains so we have three villains right here we have maleficent and on the back of her so there's maleficent on the back of her there's a dragon then we have the Queen of Hearts and then of course we have the Queen of Hearts playing cards and then we have the Evil Queen and then she's like the old lady with the Apple so these are adorable I don't use magnetic bookmarks I just they're - I'm so lazy if I'm honest with you like I don't feel like I rather throw in a frickin receipt floor I can't be the only one but you probably I'm gonna give away for a future what I do because I just think they're cute but I don't think I'll use them so I'd rather give them to somebody who does by either a definitely goes with the theme of the box the last thing we have is a little print it says I wanted freedom in the same way I wanted my next breath and then spoken but constant desire this is a quote from the book before sheet nice by Jodi meadows as you can see clearly on the back the block I still haven't read yet the book we're doing this month it's grace theory by Tracy bang heart this is an exclusive cover and its exclusive sign edition I would be more excited about this saying I actually got July's I actually got fairy elutes July box I want to say and it came with the same book so the question I could do believe this signed as well let's figure out together shall we yes it came with a signed book place so I don't need both of these copies so here's what we're gonna do we're gonna open this up and figure out which one I like more honestly right now I'm leaning more towards this one I just think it's pretty with like specks of light or like fire light it almost looks like it looks really beautiful so it looks like and this is not the original cover at all believe it's a rose and looks like it's on fire so we got the kind of fire aspect as well as the very big one that's what they have in common and it's got fire on the back and when you open it up and differences we're gonna compare the two so when you open this one up it's just kind of a plain and paper book and that's what the hardback looks like addition the end papers are really freaking beautiful and the hard covers actually says not up for anything so far so back you even have a silhouette of a girl so this one is actually signed it comes with like a signed page in it and it is signed on there for you but either way this is a very pretty design I think I just like this one more so I'll probably do a giveaway for the out great one because I mean I just don't need two copies I really don't this came with a little print right here and this is actually what the book cover looks like I believe this is the original book cover right here for you and it's we're not flowers we're concrete and barbed wire we are iron now so came with a little bookmark again with the same quote and so this is about two sisters and they kind of lead very separate lives one is like kind of stuck from royalty and things like that and the other ones on an island and she's really struggling and I think they just decide to team up together to start a war because women are often put down in this world and just push down so they decide to fight back as far as I know thrilling and captivating Grayson fury is a story a fierce sisterhood and survival in a world that's determined to break you so either way it sounds like a really great awesome wife fantasy book about chooses that lead opposite wise but are fighting for the same common thread which is women and just being more powerful and like getting up when things constantly knock you down so very very interested in it so bottom line from this is that I'm going to be giving this book away oh my gosh they're even like look how much shorter the freaking fairy loot one is that's random be on the lookout on the Instagram here's my Instagram handle in the next couple weeks for a giveaway for this exact copy so before I write everything there was also this little pamphlet that tells you arrogant and the box there you go that's the original covens the

capacity anytime soon it's the tea towel because it is very very lengthy but it's really beautiful I just don't know what practical use I will have for it but it's still beautiful then unless say the bookmarks I guess I should probably put these as number four because I don't like love them because I'm not a magnetic bookmark fan but they're beautiful and I also saw this in the giveaway with the
