September 2015 Owlcrate Review!

  

Hello my Avid Readers,

I hope you enjoy this review and be sure to check out Owlcrate and those

that contributed to this box as they have some great products!

I have listed all their Instagram accounts at the end of the post.

I was in no way asked by Owlcrate or any of the contributors to review this.
It is simply my first ever subscription box and I loved it so wanted to share!

I loved the theme for the September box and so I eagerly signed up when I saw they had places to fill.
It took 16 days to arrive due to me living so far away from Canada, but it was worth the wait.
The downside to this is that I did see a post revealing what was inside, but I don't feel as though it spoiled it for me at all. I think it may have made me more excited for it to get here!

THEME: Leading Ladies.

 

AND HERE'S WHAT WAS INSIDE!

 

Divergent-inspired TOTE BAG by Whoviandrea
I fell in love with the Divergent series when I first read it
(I'm a huge fan of dystopian fiction), and like so many others, Dauntless is my favourite faction.
So of course, I can't wait to carry my books and Surface (laptop) around in this tote.
Owlcrate says to "use it whenever you need a little help being brave!" I love it!




Hermione Granger PHOTO PRINT from Megan Lara
This delightful print is such high quality that it supposedly will not fade for up to 200 years! I love the rich colours and I also love the way the Gryffindor scarf flows down around Hermione.
I'm not too sure what I will be doing with my print just yet. I have seen that quite a few people are framing it. This gave me an idea to find more prints of strong female characters to create a photo wall with in my (someday) reading room.



ARROW NECKLACE by Crystal Compass.
This necklace was what I was most excited to receive! It was included in the box as a reference to Katniss, however I love so many other things regarding arrows and archery too. The Hunger Games, Arrow (based off of Green Arrow), Lord of the Rings etc..
Any game that allows me to be an archer, that's what I'll pick. I also own a bow for archery. I think you get the picture!
This is a more casual necklace so I will be wearing this a lot!

And like Owlcrate suggests, this will be the perfect accessory to wear to see Mockingjay: Part Two!

 

Daenerys KEY CHAIN from Funko
This is just so cute! I was definitely hoping that Daenerys Targaryen would be included in some way for the Leading Ladies box. I was not disappointed!
My last key chain broke so this came just at the right time. The split ring and the attachments look like they are good quality, so hopefully this one will last me a long time. The perfect addition to my car keys.



And of course, the book!

Dumplin' by Julie Murphy.
I honestly don't know a great deal about this book. I think partly because I didn't want to look into it too much and spoil the book.
I know that everyone is talking about it.
I know that it is a book about accepting and loving yourself as you are, and so with this being all I know, I am very excited to get stuck into this one. It sounds like it sends such a beautiful message.
I will be reviewing this book towards the end of October, it's next on my TBR!

EXTRAS:

Divergent Factions Bookmark from Whoviandrea.
You can never have too many! I love the simplicity of the design.
It also includes $5 towards a purchase from Whoviandrea.

Hermione & Crookshanks w/ discount for Meowbox.

 

My cats will appreciate this one!

Such a great inclusion.
Thanks Owlcrate and Meowbox!

 

 

 

 

Dumplin' Sticker
"IF YOU GOT IT, FLAUNT IT"
I have no idea where to put this as I am not big on putting stickers on things, but it's super cute. I will have to think long and hard about what to do with it.
This was included with the book, and also included was a very sweet letter from Julie Murphy to Owlcate readers.




There was also a card advertising HCCFrenzy on Social Media.
They are a team from Harper Collins CA that focus on YA books and it's a good way to keep up with the latest books in YA literature. I didn't know about them before, so that was a great bit of information to include.
