I'll admit that I don't subscribe to as many book boxes as I would like. However, the two that I am subscribed to (OwlCrate and BOTM) have always treated me well. And that's enough for me.I've never seen a silicone popcorn holder before this month! It's cute, though I'm not sure I'm going to end up using it for popcorn. Instead, it'll probably be relegated towards holding bookish odds and ends in my library.I may have a slight hoard of wax seals - and I really need some good excuses to use them. However, I'm never going to complain when a new seal is added to my collection! Hence why I was so excited to find this cutie in April's OwlCrate box.Over the years I've worked hard to create a comfortable desk with a style I can enjoy. Bookish mousepads are already a nice addition!I am SO glad that I waited for OwlCrate's copy of Hotel Magnifique! This book has gotten so many amazing covers, but I legit think this one is my favorite. Plus, the hardcover glows in the dark! That's a first (for me).Look at all the lovely items that came with April's OwlCrate box. I have always been a sucker for bookish household items, and this box had not one but TWO items. Plus some coffee and other cute items. I'm thrilled!Goodreads

Review: Spider-Gwen Vol. 5: Gwenom
Spider-Gwen Vol. 5: Gwenom is almost exactly like what you’re probably picturing, thanks to that title. What is surprising is just how much I actually love this pairing. Gwen Stacy and Venom, who’d have thought? Granted, nothing is quite what it seems – or what we’re used to from Earth 616. Continue reading
