November OwlCrate Review

Hello, all!

The theme for this month was "Growing Wild" and it had a very Hufflepuff vibe to it.

The first item was this dandelion fluff necklace with art on the box by Studio Kyra inspired by Wild Beauty. I like how OwlCrate has been leaning more towards subtly bookish items, and I while I do think this is really pretty, I'm not sure how much use I'll get out of it.

Then we had this A Darker Shade of Magic inspired wooden flower press created by Peppermint Lines. I've actually never pressed flowers before, so I thought this was a unique item to get.

Then we had these Lord of the Rings botanical prints by Rheannon Ormond which I think are so pretty. I'm actually not the biggest LOTR fan, but I really love the whole aesthetic of these prints.

Last but not least, we had the 2021 reading planner designed by Blue Star Press along with some Pipstickers planner stickers. I always enjoy their planners, but I'm not sure if I'll use it next year since I already have two other reading journals.

The book for this month was Among the Beast and Briars by Ashley Poston. Cerys lives in the kingdom of Aloriya where there is no disease, or famine, and peace is everlasting. But as Aloriya prospers, the woods around it grows darker and more cursed. Cerys knows the dangers of the woods first hand after watching it kill her mother and friends. Now, Cerys holds a part of the cursed woods within her. When a new queen is crowned, the woods begins to crowd in on the kingdom and Cerys is forced to flee, her only companions a strange fox from her garden, a powerful bear, and the magic within herself. It's up to Cerys to find the elusive Lady of Wilds and beg for a way to save her home, but the road may prove to be darker than Cerys could've imagined.

I haven't heard much about this, but I'm intrigued. I also love the edition OwlCrate created and it also has maroon sprayed edges, and we all know how much I love a sprayed edge. Let me know what you thought of this box!
