Fantasy and Sci-Fi Books Box March 2016 Review

Fantasy and Sci-Fi Books box is a monthly subscription box that sends 'a carefully selected new release' fantasy or sci-fi novel every month along with 3 or more bookish items. A month to month plan is $27.99 + shipping or you can get a 3 month plan for $80.97 + shipping. I purchased the March box. I don't believe they release the themes ahead of time, but the theme for this month was Aliens, Aliens, Aliens!

Dark Energy by Robison Wells, along with a signed bookplate

The novel for this box is Dark Energy by Robison Wells. The book was published by HarperTeen and came out on March 29, 2016. 

(Note: there are no prices on their info card that came in the box and a lot of the things I couldn't find online, so I don't know how to price it. Also, the info card lists the author's name as Robinson Wells, when the book clearly shows Robison. Just an observation, but it's an easy mistake to make.)

From Amazon:

"We are not alone. They are here. And there’s no going back. Perfect for fans of The Fifth Wave and the I Am Number Four series, Dark Energy is a thrilling stand-alone science fiction adventure from Robison Wells, critically acclaimed author of Variant and Blackout.

Five days ago, a massive UFO crashed in the Midwest. Since then, nothing—or no one—has come out.

If it were up to Alice, she’d be watching the fallout on the news. But her dad is director of special projects at NASA, so she’s been forced to enroll in a boarding school not far from the crash site. Alice is right in the middle of the action, but even she isn’t sure what to expect when the aliens finally emerge. Only one thing is clear: everything has changed."

2 Star Wars felt coasters

These coasters are such a fun item. They're entirely made of felt, so they aren't very heavy. I'd imagine the felt wouldn't move easily on a table with a drink on top, so these seem pretty practical.

Guardians of the Galaxy paper clips

How cute! I love the little Groot and Rocket. These are a good size too, so they can be used as bookmarks if you don't want to run the risk of losing them at the office!

Superman/Supergirl Change Purse

You can't really tell from the picture, but the purse is navy in color with the Superman logo. It has a slick inner lining and seems to be well made. My niece actually stole it after I took pictures, lol.

The box also included a promotional bookmark for B. Brumley's newest book Woe for a Fairie which is coming out this month.

Like I said, this is my first box and I think they did an excellent job in keeping with the theme.

Let me know what you think!
