I’ve been a subscriber to the ‘Books that Matter‘ feminist subscription box for about 6 months. I have to admit, a couple of other subscriptions have caught my eye recently (namely Bert’s Books and The Capital Crime Club), so I was keen to weigh up the options!
This month’s box arrived slightly less squashed than usual – always a bonus as the packaging box can be a bit flimsy (although the contents are usually just fine).
The theme of the box is ‘Season of the Witch’.
This month’s contents were:
- ‘Frankissstein’ by Jeanette Winterson
- A self-heating eye mask from spacemasks.com
- A set of 3 no-snag fabric hairbands from Cabello Bands
- A bookmark with a Mary Shelley quotation on
- A Wellness Planner pad
- A ‘Season of the Witch’ booklet with information about the box contributors
My Review
This is another great box from ‘Books that Matter’!
I absolutely love the book choice – I have actually read this book on NetGalley and adored it (you can read my review here) but it is great to have a proper copy. And it is beautiful – look at that pink cover!
Hairbands, bookmark and eye mask gratefully received – I will use them all and I am impressed with the quality of all these items.
The ‘Season of the Witch’ booklet is interesting and will be worth a browse.
The only item I’m not that excited about is the Wellness Planner as I can’t imagine I’ll use it. It is pretty and good quality, but just not for me.
My Verdict
Another excellent subscription box – my subscription is safe for another month and the others will just have to wait…
My only observation is that £20 (including postage) feels a bit expensive if there is one of the main items that I won’t use. Still, ‘Frankissstein’ has won me over this month.
