Lit Cube is a YA book subscription box. Every box includes 'a readable, a wearable, and a snackable.' The March theme was 'Time Travel' and I think the box did an excellent job in keeping with the theme.
The book for this month is Loop by Karen Akins - Value $18.99; $14.25 on Amazon
"At a school where Quantum Paradox 101 is a required course and history field trips are literal, sixteen year-old time traveler Bree Bennis excels…at screwing up.
After Bree botches a solo midterm to the 21st century by accidentally taking a boy hostage (a teensy snafu), she stands to lose her scholarship. But when Bree sneaks back to talk the kid into keeping his yap shut, she doesn't go back far enough. The boy, Finn, now three years older and hot as a solar flare, is convinced he's in love with Bree, or rather, a future version of her that doesn't think he's a complete pain in the arse. To make matters worse, she inadvertently transports him back to the 23rd century with her.
Once home, Bree discovers that a recent rash of accidents at her school are anything but accidental. Someone is attacking time travelers. As Bree and her temporal tagalong uncover seemingly unconnected clues―a broken bracelet, a missing data file, the art heist of the millennium―that lead to the person responsible, she alone has the knowledge to piece the puzzle together. Knowledge only one other person has. Her future self.
But when those closest to her become the next victims, Bree realizes the attacker is willing to do anything to stop her. In the past, present, or future."
The box also included a bookmark and a card with the theme.
Doctor Who Shirt - Value $19.99
The 'wearable' item was an awesome Doctor Who t-shirt. The TARDIS sparkles, which is such a great touch!
That's It. Fruit Bar - Value $1.99
This bar was pretty good. It has 2 whole servings of fruit in the one bar and is made up of apple and coconut.
Wibbly Wobbly Timey Wimey candle by Frostbeard Studio - Value $4.99
This candle smells so good! It's such a perfect little travel size. Looking around their site, Frostbeard Studio sells larger candles and wax melts in scents like Old Books, Pemberly's Garden (which I'm totally getting!), and Headmaster's Office.
Travel Pocket Journal - Value $5.99
I love journals, but I never end up writing in all of them. They just sit around with a few quotes or recipes in them and I eventually 'rediscover' them after months, lol. This journal is the perfect little size to throw in a purse or suitcase to take on a trip.
Hermione's Time Turner - Value $8.99
I've received a Time Turner in several different geek/nerd boxes, but I always love having more. This one is really well made, with a nice weight to it, and it has the inscription from the book on the sides.
I absolutely loved this box. The value was about $56 using the Amazon price for the book, which is great. It was my first Lit Cube and I can't wait to get more. The next month's theme is 'Anniversary of the Dragon,' as it's the anniversary of Lit Cube's first year of operation!
They're also running a Kickstarter right now for these cute vinyl figures based on book characters. They're first set is Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy from Pride and Prejudice!
