THE BIG BOOK BOX : ESPRESSO EDITION

I recently purchased a subscription box called The Big Book Box. I got one for January,2018.
Every month there is a new theme so for January it was,"Tale as old as time."
If you are a bibliophile who loves bookish merchandise, then subscription boxes are meant for you.

How to get one for yourself : To get one for yourself you can visit their website and place order for a specific month's box or quarterly or half-yearly boxes. You can place order till 21st of each month, for example if you want to place an order for January box then you can order it till January 21st, after that bookings for February(next month) begins.
So, they have different names for boxes with different price range-

• The Frappe Box- Priced at INR 999, with 1 book and few goodies.
• The Espresso Box- Priced at INR 1599, with 2 books and goodies.
• The Cappuccino Box- Priced at INR 2199, with 3 books and more goodies.
• Caffe Mocha Box- Priced at INR 2999, with 4 books and exclusive goodies.

What I received in my box- 
                                       

                                       

• Two hardcover books

• Tea packet (Beauty & the Beast themed)
• A bookmark (HP candies themed)

The Books-

Surprisingly, both the books were hardcover this time, usually it's one paperback and one hardcover. 

Goodreads Synopsis-

Orphaned and cast out as a witch by her village, Vasya’s options are few: resign herself to life in a convent, or allow her older sister to make her a match with a Moscovite prince. Both doom her to life in a tower, cut off from the vast world she longs to explore. So instead she chooses adventure, disguising herself as a boy and riding her horse into the woods. When a battle with some bandits who have been terrorizing the countryside earns her the admiration of the Grand Prince of Moscow, she must carefully guard the secret of her gender,even as she realizes his kingdom is under threat from mysterious forces only she will be able to stop.

Goodreads Synopsis-

A love story across the ages - and for the ages - about a man lost in time, the woman who could save him, and the lifetimes it can take to learn how to live

Tom Hazard has a dangerous secret. He may look like an ordinary 41-year-old, but owing to a rare condition, he's been alive for centuries. Tom has lived history--performing with Shakespeare, exploring the high seas with Captain Cook, and sharing cocktails with Fitzgerald. Now, he just wants an ordinary life.

My Review-

          I personally have researched a lot about subscription boxes before investing my money in them. To the best of my knowledge I found The Big Book Box the best till now(there might be more good subscription boxes coming up now).

          The books were in such a good condition when I received them that it felt like they had just got published and sent to me directly. 

          Coming to the merchandise, I was very happy with everything that I received. I know I didn't need the pocket watch but it was just one thing in the box and I can surely make use of it. Everything else was what I needed and who doesn't want Harry Potter themed merchandise!

          All the things are so pretty and collectable. They do reveal the books and merchandise going into each month's box so you can buy it accordingly. The only problem I faced was the waiting period, since the books are imported it takes time for them to send the box, so I received my January box at the end of February. It was tough to wait(being a first timer) but when I received the box it was so worth the wait.
