Book subscription boxes

This book was from my first ever book box, @bookboxclub last year! The reason I got this box was because one of my favourite artists @TeaCakeArt did some artwork for one of the items in this box which ended up being my first ever book sleeve.
I was so excited with this box! All the items were gorgeous, and this book was one of the first signed books I ever owned. This is still one of my favourite boxes I have ever recieved, and it really opened my eyes to new kinds of bookish merchandise. Everything in the box has been well used and loved!
I had been wanting to try a book box for a really long time, and had seen a few about – mainly Fairyloot, but every time I remembered them and tried to subscribe, their subscriptions were closed! At the time I was getting two different subscription boxes (one Harry potter merchandise and the other witchcraft related), so I cancelled my Harry Potter one and decided to give Book Box Club and Fairyloot a go! I cancelled Book Box Club a few months later, as I preferred the Fairyloot book choices because I prefer fantasy, and the book choices for BBC were leaning a little more into contemporary. However I really do think Book Box Club are fantastic, their items are lovely and I may try them again in the future, but I couldn’t justify having two book boxes, and now the only box I get at all is Fairyloot.
Which boxes do you get? Do you think subscription boxes are worth it?
