January Owl Crate Box

Hey guys, how are you all doing? It is crazy to think that another month has gone by so quickly. It is also crazy that is has been a month since we started blogging and we have so much support. So thank you guys for reading our blog.

My favourite thing about the beginning of a new month, is a new owl crate box.The theme this month is classic remix and I can't complain because I love retellings of classic books. 

The first thing in the box is a mint tea by First Edition Tea Co. The tea was inspired by the classic book The Little Prince. Now, I, myself, am not a tea drinker, but it smells really good.

The next thing in the box is a soap that was inspired by The Secret Garden. The soap was made by TeaSoapBooks. I am really excited to try this soap out because it smells amazing.

Next they included a bookmark done by the talented Lexy Olivia. The bookmark has a water colour background with a quote from the book Slaughterhouse fire. "Everything was beautiful and nothing was hurt"  I think the bookmark is absolutely gorgeous and I don't want to use it incase I wreck it.

The next thing in the box is a calendar with different classic book covers for each month. Each photo has a hidden picture. For example, for the month of January the picture is of the book Peter Pan but more focuses on Captain Hook. At first glance you just see Captain Hooks hand but if you look again you see that the hook part is actually a broken tea cup and his arm is made up of spilt tea.

The last things in this box is a book, a letter from the author and a signed book plate. The book is a retelling of the classic novel The Phantom of the Opera Novel by Gaston Leroux. The book is RoseBlood by A.G Howard. Owl Crate also included a magnet of The Phantom of the Opera 

In this modern day spin on Leroux’s gothic tale of unrequited love turned to madness, seventeen-year-old Rune Germain has a mysterious affliction linked to her operatic talent, and a horrifying mistake she’s trying to hide. Hoping creative direction will help her, Rune’s mother sends her to a French arts conservatory for her senior year, located in an opera house rumored to have ties to The Phantom of the Opera.


At RoseBlood, Rune secretly befriends the masked Thorn—an elusive violinist who not only guides her musical transformation through dreams that seem more real than reality itself, but somehow knows who she is behind her own masks. As the two discover an otherworldly connection and a soul-deep romance blossoms, Thorn’s dark agenda comes to light and he’s forced to make a deadly choice: lead Rune to her destruction, or face the wrath of the phantom who has haunted the opera house for a century, and is the only father he’s ever known.

I have never read the classic novel and I would like to read it before reading this book.

Next months theme is run away with the circus which sounds interesting. *spoiler* It has been revealed that next months box will include a candle and a bookish tote.
