I CANCELLED MY BOOKISH BOX SUBSCRIPTION | Damages, Shipping, and More

I had high hopes for the Bookish Box my second time around, but they disappointed me yet again. I originally subscribed in December 2022 for both the YA and Adult Box with Goodies. But after five months of crickets, I cancelled. And then, in August 2023 (I think?) the boxes started to come in and I was like: "Oh ... I actually kind of like this and I'm finally getting the orders I spent $500 on. Let's give them another shot." MISTAKE. I don't know what happened. The shipping partners have been an issue, and I get that. But the shipping partner shouldn't have any affect on the quality of the items. I've had to toss brand new merchandise because it was already ripped, or it tore almost as soon as I tugged on the frayed threads. Not to mention the design of the books was nothing compared to editions we see in FairyLoot, Illumicrate, and Owlcrate. They don't even come in the branded boxes, just regular ones. And that's not a big deal, except that the shift in container coincides with the decline in everything else. Something changed ... I just don't know what it was. Between the damages, the content, and the shipping delays, I couldn't justify the expense any longer. Which is a shame, because I've seen the Bookish Box put out some pretty books. (In fact, we just got in Assistant to the Villain and the design here is quite lovely. But I was definitely not the target audience for that book.) I can't say that I'll never resubscribe. If a box puts out beautiful editions with quality products, I'm willing to consider them. But the boxes for months in 2024 have had a drastic shift in the craftsmanship of the items and the books. Sighs.

No matter where my day takes me, books are sure to be involved somehow. While I lean toward fantasy and romance, I'll read just bout any genre and have recently started in on nonfiction (thank you, audiobooks) for the first time in my life. My dogs are the absolute best and they put up with the MASSIVE amounts of coffee I drink. If you want reviews, book box comparisons, and more, be sure to check out my website! I'm an upstart right now with all this social media and blogging stuff, but I'm loving it!
