ABOUT THE FOX & WIT YOUNG ADULT BOOK:
Rosalinda is trapped on Sinner’s Isle, an island filled with young women like her—Majestics, beautiful witches loathed by society for their dangerous magic yet revered by powerful men who want to use them.
For years, she has been kept under the watchful, calculating eye of Doña Lucia. Now eighteen, Rosa will be the prized commodity at this year’s Offering, a fiesta for the wealthy to engage in drink, damsels, and debauchery. That is why she must flee—before someone forces the vicious phantoms within her to destroy everything she touches.
Handsome, swashbuckling Mariano has long sailed the high seas as the Prince of Pirates. Then the king’s fleet attacks his father’s infamous ship, leaving him marooned on Sinner’s Isle with only an enchanted chain meant to lead him to his heart’s desire. Instead, he falls into the hands of a brazen (although) bewitching headache—Rosa.
Together they must outwit each other and their enemies before the Offering ends and it’s too late to escape the perils of Sinner’s Isle.

This month's book is for fans of Howl's Moving Castle.
It was a day for finding things . . .
On the morning Twain, a lonely boy with a knack for danger, discovers a strand of starlight on the cliffs outside Severon, a mysterious curiosity shop appears in town. Meanwhile, Quinta, the ordinary daughter of an extraordinary circus performer, chases rumors of the shop, The Vermilion Emporium, desperate for a way to live up to her mother’s magical legacy.
When Quinta meets Twain outside the Emporium, two things happen: One, Quinta starts to fall for this starlight boy, who uses his charm to hide his scars. Two, they enter the store and discover a book that teaches them how to weave starlight into lace.
Soon, their lace catches the eye of the Casorina, the ruler of Severon. She commissions Quinta and Twain to make her a starlight dress and will reward them handsomely enough to make their dreams come true. However, they can’t sew a dress without more material, and the secret to starlight’s origins has been lost for centuries. As Quinta and Twain search the Emporium for answers, though, they discover the secret might not have been lost—but destroyed. And likely, for good reason.

ABOUT THE BOOK:
This is not your typical witch book. Witches in this novel are bound by seasonal magic. Every witch's powers is tied directly to the season which determines what magical elements they can control. Together, they work together to keep the planet safe for inhabitants. However, with global warming getting out of control and the non-magic people refusing to do their part, witches are dying or losing control of their magic entirely in efforts to keep environmental effects at bay.
A rare witch, one who controls all four seasons, can help save them all. The problem is her magic is so erratic. Every time she uses her powers, people close to her are killed. So she has plans to strip herself of magic entirely during the next eclipse. But she must choose: the ability to care for people freely without risk of her magic killing them or to use her powers to help save the planet and its people.

ABOUT THE BOOK:
A family is shaken up by an incredibly traumatic event. The youngest sister is wracked with guilt and anger over not being able to make anything better. So she channels her feelings into writing a story about a historical medieval French figure who takes up a sword and storms into battle.
Told as interweaving stories between present day and medieval period, this is a story of females coming together to find strength when the world takes away everything from them. It’s filled with whimsical illustrations to bring the medieval story to life. The non-binary representation is particularly thoughtful and the mixed culture diversity of the family well done.
The story tackles a heavy subject with the right touch of humor and light heartedness to bring a story that is both realistic but one filled with hope.

ABOUT THE BOOK:
Faith, destiny, and swordfighting mingle with a healthy dose of enemies-to-lovers in this month’s thrilling read. A sprawling epic about a world divided by faith and founded on a secret worth killing for, the story begins with the destruction of our heroine’s entire world—and worldview. Lost, betrayed, and hunted, she must leave her home and her familiar, if ill-fitted life with a deadly new ally who promises to keep her safe; but can she trust in a stranger when she’s lost her faith in the world as she knows it?
This book is an empowering, spiritual coming-of-age tale that reads like the epic poems and hymns it contains. Effortless world-building, mythology, and plot intertwine seamlessly in each chapter, and the characters are both larger-than-life and endearingly human. Our heroine is young, uncertain, and super relatable, but she is also strong; she knows who she is and she trusts herself, even and especially when those she has put her faith in fail her. Patriarchy, organized religion, and the power of a well-told lie versus a hard truth are strong themes that add depth and relevance to the story. And plenty of gripping action, humorous banter, and surprise twists lighten the heavy thematic load and ensure this read is an engaging one.
The mark of a strong story is that it lingers, and you will definitely be thinking about this month’s book long after you finish it. It encourages readers to think, to challenge established narratives—especially if they require you to make yourself smaller—and to trust in your own voice. It empowers us to live our own stories; in this way, the book says, we become the legends we seek.

The contents this box is meant to capture the essence of the book, which heavily revolves around nature. We’ll include useful items that will bring the beauty of the outdoors into your home. The collectable comic strip will feature a scene (with our beloved Mr. Kindly) from Nevernight illustrated by Angela Animates
ABOUT THE BOOK:
Dynamic female characters, plenty of action and gore, and an intriguing world shrouded in mystery (and blood) are the beating heart of this month’s delightfully grotesque read. Our heroine is an ambitious and cunning young woman at the top of her small, insular society. Or so she thinks. When her carefully-constructed scheming is foiled and her power is stripped from her, our young heroine does what any person would do: breaks out of jail, murders the powerful leader and provider of her city, and goes on the run with her loyal, submissive best friend.
This book’s characters—especially it’s women—are refreshingly, unapologetically unlikable. They scheme and plot, they’re quick to violence and demand to be in control, and they aspire to domination and seek admiration above all. It’s easy to root for characters you adore; this read challenges us to invest in a young woman who makes terrible decisions for all the wrong reasons, and refuses to apologize or back down from them. She has her vulnerabilities and soft spots, as well, and this dichotomy creates an authentically original, complex anti-heroine.
The world-building in this book is a strong selling point and a major mystery for both readers and our characters. As we learn about the history, power, culture, and even geography in this world, so does our heroine. Her universe expands as quickly as the plot develops, and every new corner explored brings a fresh revelation and more questions left to answer. Even more exciting is our heroine’s active role in breaking down her old society and boldly inserting herself into a new one; no matter how this world unfolds before her, we know our heroine is going to be at the center of it.
Fans of Rory Power, unlikable main characters, and gore, this one is definitely for you!

This month our merch will be a Dark Academia bookstagram prop box.This is a late release book so boxes will ship October 20th to the 27th
ABOUT THE BOOK:
This month’s contemporary read is just So. Stinking. Cute. Fans of coming-of-age stories, romances filled with witty dialogue, and humor will fall in love with this funny, down-to-earth story of the pressures, struggles, and hustle of a first-generation.
This #inownvoices narrative follows a popular senior at an elite high school who’s family, home, and life are drastically different from those of his wealthy, affluent peers. And yet the same grand expectations of academic success, an Ivy League college education, and a promising future are still placed on our hero’s shoulders—by his school, his loving family, and, most of all, himself. He uses his winning personality to hide his ambition and his fear of failure. But when a classmate threatens to expose his less-than-legitimate side hustle, our main character learns that some people see his most authentic self—the boy behind The Smile—and love him for it.
The heart of this book is its characters. Each one is quirky and alive, with their own unique voice. They’re also relatable, insanely human and vulnerable. They make assumptions and mistakes, they stumble and sometimes they crash and burn. But more than anything, they will charm the pants off you.
MERCH IN THE BOX:
This month we're working with Black small businesses and artists to bring you a selection of merch to celebrate books and diversity. Our fandom item will be from Lord of The Rings.Please note: this box will have fewer items than usual because the cost will be more to work with US based, small businesses whose items are not produced in China. Fewer items does not mean lower value. Rather, we are putting money directly into the hands of Black Americans creators and artist and are supporting their small business venture rather than a mass factory overseas. We will NOT have a collectable comic strip for the month of September so we can allocate that budget to the Black vendors in our boxes.
We will include a full bio for each of our vendors so that you may learn more about them.
DELAY NOTICE! We have to delay our September YA shipment. We received notice from the publishers that the book on sale date got pushed back on their end due to a printing issue so we’ll be shipping our books 1 week later than advertised. Our new ship date for our October YA book and book parcel will be October 5th through the 9th.
This is a late release book so boxes will ship September 29th through October 7th
