Illumicrate - October 2020

About Illumicrate and my journey as a subscriber...

Illumicrate are a monthly subscription box based in the UK. They are dedicated to bringing you the best new releases and each month you'll receive a carefully curated monthly box with a newly released book and around 4-6 bookish goodies.


I've only been subscribed to Illumicrate for just over half a year and I can honestly say that the customer service provided by Illumicrate and their team is amazing. They are so on the ball with it all and are quick to update you about any little changes/delays. They are incredibly swift at replying and even getting the boxes shipped out!


The theme for June was Life & Death So let's have a look at what was inside!

Please be aware that from here there may be spoilers if you have not yet received your box!


Items included in this box...

  • Addie Larue print and Seven star acrylic photo frame with artwork by @rosiethorns88 and is inspired by the book of the month

  • Journey to the afterlife room spray which was created by @awildtaleshop and is inspired by Acient Egyptian myth

  • A sun and moon chain pin set which was designed by @novemberandmay.shop

  • Hades and Persephone wooden tarot cards with artwork by @elithienart

  • The Jade Crown skeleton tin which has been designed by @crimsonpins and @chattynora

  • This month's book is The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V. E. Schwab. This edition has an exclusive cover, hidden cover, endpapers and sprayed edges. We also recieved our pin of the month insipired by the book which was designed by @stacey.mcevoy.caunt Synopsis France, 1714: in a moment of desperation, a young woman makes a Faustian bargain to live forever-and is cursed to be forgotten by everyone she meets. Thus begins the extraordinary life of Addie LaRue, and a dazzling adventure that will play out across centuries and continents, across history and art, as a young woman learns how far she will go to leave her mark on the world. But everything changes when, after nearly 300 years, Addie stumbles across a young man in a hidden bookstore, and he remembers her name.

My thoughts on this month's box...

This has to be one of my all time favourite Illumicrate boxes!


I was lucky enough to read an e-arc of Addie LaRue and absolutely adored it. It's one of my all time favourite books and you can read my review here. I'm so happy to have this exclusive and beautiful edition of the book!


The art print and acrylic frame is stunning and I cannot wait to display this on my shelves! I love the pins this month and cannot wait to add them to my already growing collection!


Honestly, I love every item in this box and it's all such good quality. So much thought has gone into this box and it really shows!
