Moon & Stars
About the box:
We are so excited to reveal the January theme for our monthly box and it is… MOON & STARS!
The moon and the stars have been an inspiration to us for many years − they drive our imagination and provide the perfect setting for the greatest stories of all time. With this theme we believe that we found a magical way to kick start 2020!
This box is filled with a fantastic variety of items inspired by the moon and the stars that light up our night skies. Many of the items in this box are fandom neutral, but you can also expect items inspired by Oscar Wilde, Illuminae and Even The Darkest Stars!
Our featured book of the month is a lush tapestry of magic, romance and revolution, drawing inspiration from Bolivian politics and history. The edition that we are featuring will have an EXCLUSIVE COVER, ARTWORK ON THE REVERSE OF THE DUST JACKET, EMBOSSING and it will be SIGNED by the author. We absolutely adored this book!
This box is NOT available yet. We are currently open for subscriptions starting with the January box and single purchases will be available on January 7th at 1pm BST. If you already have a subscription you can sit back and relax – you will automatically get this box!

From Goodreads:
A lush tapestry of magic, romance, and revolución, drawing inspiration from Bolivian politics and history.
Ximena is the decoy Condesa, a stand-in for the last remaining Illustrian royal. Her people lost everything when the usurper, Atoc, used an ancient relic to summon ghosts and drive the Illustrians from La Ciudad. Now Ximena’s motivated by her insatiable thirst for revenge, and her rare ability to spin thread from moonlight.
When Atoc demands the real Condesa’s hand in marriage, it’s Ximena’s duty to go in her stead. She relishes the chance, as Illustrian spies have reported that Atoc’s no longer carrying his deadly relic. If Ximena can find it, she can return the true aristócrata to their rightful place.
She hunts for the relic, using her weaving ability to hide messages in tapestries for the resistance. But when a masked vigilante, a warm-hearted princess, and a thoughtful healer challenge Ximena, her mission becomes more complicated. There could be a way to overthrow the usurper without starting another war, but only if Ximena turns her back on revenge—and her Condesa.

From Goodreads:
When Amaya rescues a mysterious stranger from drowning, she fears her rash actions have earned her a longer sentence on the debtor ship where she’s been held captive for years. Instead, the man she saved offers her unimaginable riches and a new identity, setting Amaya on a perilous course through the coastal city-state of Moray, where old-world opulence and desperate gamblers collide.
Amaya wants one thing: revenge against the man who ruined her family and stole the life she once had. But the more entangled she becomes in this game of deception—and as her path intertwines with the son of the man she’s plotting to bring down—the more she uncovers about the truth of her past. And the more she realizes she must trust no one…
Packed with high-stakes adventure, romance, and dueling identities, this gender-swapped retelling of The Count of Monte Cristo is the first novel in an epic YA fantasy duology, perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas, Sabaa Tahir, and Leigh Bardugo.
If Owl Crate isn’t Scavenge the Stars? I’m gonna go looking for some kinda revenge. That book destroyed my psychological well being.

Lol! I will be deeply saddened if it isn’t. I’m looking forward to reading it. It has to be, right?!

Absolutely! That book was a complete mindbend. I blame mismarketing for the the mixed reviews. That and the structure. The structure is very divisive. It isn’t for everyone. You like it or you don’t
