December 2016 YA Chronicles Unboxing

It's only taken until the end of the year, but one of these unboxings is actually being posted within a somewhat reasonable timeframe!

The theme for December was Simply Wonderful. 

As always, the themed bookmark. 

Some festive washi tape. I do like the design, but as I've stated in a previous unboxing, the item itself is useless to me. 

This "I fell into a book" button magnet actually isn't a bad item. 

Next were these sticky tabs. I love the different colours and I especially love how they are specifically for bookworms. I don't actually tab books myself, but I know for sure that many other people do and they would love these. 

This golden snitch bracelet is definitely my favourite item in this box. I need more Harry Potter related jewellery so this item was perfect! 

Now for the book. Finding Wonders: Three Girls Who Changed Science by Jeannine Atkins. The premise sounds interesting enough, but unfortunately the book is written in verse. There's nothing I hate more than a book written in verse, so it's one that I will never read. 

Also included was a letter from the creators of the box explaining why they chose the book. It's still not going to convince me to read this book and as a side note, the font style in combination with the background made it very difficult to read! 

Overall I rate this box somewhere between a 2.5/5 & 3/5. The items were definitely cute, but not all were practical. The book was an absolute disappointment and a complete waste of money. If it hadn't been for that golden snitch bracelet, I would have rated this box even lower.

October 2016 YA Chronicles Unboxing

As usual, this unboxing is ridiculously late, but here it is anyway. The theme for this month was Against All Odds. 

The bookmark that came with this box. 

The first item was this Manon lip balm. It's not a bad item, but Manon just isn't one of my favourite characters.

Then there was this Six of Crows temporary tattoo. I do like the design, but the tattoo isn't something that I'd ever use. 

A Camp Half-Blood necklace. It's not often that I actually like the bookish jewellery that's included in subscription boxes, but I do like this one! 

Lastly, the book included in this box was Holding Up the Universe by Jennifer Niven. It is a book that I've been interested in, so hopefully I'll get around to reading it eventually! 

Overall, this was a pretty decent box. I actually liked all of the fandoms that the bookish items were from for a change so that was a bonus! My rating for this box is 4/5.
