There are no teachers, no holidays, and no friendships, save strategic ones.

I’m going to start with the item that was announced as a supplier reveal, and that is this Uprooted mug from rosiethorns88.Ī Deadly Education is set at Scholomance, a school for the magically gifted where failure means certain death (for real) - until one girl, El, begins to unlock its many secrets. It helps me get more excited for the items included. Not gonna lie, I love it when book box companies give us a heads up with what book will be included in a box. We will continue the waitlist system if more spots open up throughout August, and subscription spots for October will also be offered to our waitlist first.Īre you all excited about this theme?! Thanks as ever to for yet another stunning theme graphic Our waitlist is still open and you can join it here: Subscriptions will be offered exclusively to our waitlist, and people will be contacted in the order they joined our list. Our featured fandoms for September are Caraval, Uprooted, Red Rising, Kingdom of Souls, and an officially licensed Ninth House item! We’re also excited to announce our next Rosiethorns88 mug is in this box, and it is stunning Both the full box and book only options will come with yet another incredible pin designed by the one and only Stacey McEvoy-Caunt (FKA Fable & Black)! Our Illumicrate edition will have all exclusive: cover, hidden cover including a quote on the spine, sprayed edges, and a bound author letter with Naomi Novik’s signature (she has an injured hand and cannot hand-sign as a result). Our featured book this month is…look we’re just gonna tell you, okay? It’s A DEADLY EDUCATION by Naomi Novik! We loved the deadly Scholomance, our reluctant protagonist El, and all her classmates so much! We’re thrilled to be bringing you a special edition of what is one of our favourite books of 2020!

Our September 2020 theme is SINISTER SURROUNDINGS! This box is dedicated to stories with dangerous settings or situations, and crucially, have characters with the nous to get out of them (mostly) unscathed! Let’s have a look at what Illumicrate had to say in the announcement:

I’m a huge fan of some of the author’s other books. As soon as Illumicrate teased what book was going to be included in this box, I was excited.
