Welcome to this unboxing of a the My Bookie Box book subscription box for April 2021.

I have found some wonderful boxes. My YouTube channel is full of video unboxings if you are interested. I also share my unboxings on my sister website for those boxes that are not books.

By far, my favorite boxes are the ones with the books in them. And those unboxings I share on this website.

I order this subscription through Cratejoy (affiliate link). The box that I subscribed to is the monthly box which includes a book, two full sized cookies, book swag and a bookie gift. I was drawn to this service because all of the books are clean reads and are indie or small press published. Members are also invited to virtual book clubs.

What did I get in my box this month? I am going to share the contents with you here. My review is not for the book or the items I received because I haven’t read/used them yet, but instead will be for the content and subscription experience.

Unboxing

  • The box arrived in good shape and well labeled.
  • Right on top was a list of what items were in the box along with the book.
  • There was also a card letting the subscriber know details for the upcoming virtual book chats.
  • The first item in the box was a Pastel M&M Cookie from The Local Cookie Co in South Jordan, UT.
  • The second item in the box was a Salted Caramel Chocolate Chip Cookie from The Local Cookie Co in South Jordan, UT.
  • The third and fourth items in the box was a Planet sticker designed by Big Moods and a Lip Balm Holder from Lippy Clip.
  • The fifth item in the box was a bookmark designed by the author and a QR Code for a short story by the author.
  • And the fifth item in the box was the book… Becoming Human by Amy Michelle Carpenter. It is a YA Sci-Fi/Fantasy.

Here is everything I received in the box.

Review

What I liked:

  • The book selections are clean reads
  • The books are indie or small press published
  • The cookies are huge and there are two of them!
  • There were small gifts
  • There was a bookmark and a free short story (e-book)
  • Everything was packaged well
  • Members have access to virtual book clubs

What I didn’t like:

  • The genre was not one I usually read

Overall Opinion

I’m impressed with this subscription box. This is my first one and my mouth is watering over those huge cookies. While the genre is not one I typically read, it is offset by the fact that the book is a clean read. I will read this book and who knows? Perhaps I will find a new love. Sometimes we need to get out of our comfort zones.

This subscription service is $48.99 and includes shipping.
