OwlCrate July 2017

          I'm a little late showing off July's OwlCrate, but better late than never. The theme of the crate for July 2017 is Wanderlust.



          The box seemed to be really full of goodies and at least two things caught my eye the moment I opened it.


A Lord of the Rings inspired backpack, it was created exclusively by the OwlCrate team for this box.


This cute little thing is a Funko keychain of Newt Scamander.


I have a lot of travel bags and this bag tag by mudpuppy is going to make at least one of them stand out!


"As Travars" means to travel. This mirror was inspired by A Darker Shade of Magic and was designed exclusively for OwlCrate by Miss Phi.


A pocket journal from Ooly; there were eight different styles sent out. This is the one I got, what did you guys get?



This art print was designed by Shailey Ann Designs. It has a quote by Francois Rabelais and was also inspired by the novel Looking for Alaska. It is another OwlCrate exclusive.


Finally we have the reason for the box. The book for the month of July is The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue by Mackenzi Lee. It has an OwlCrate exclusive cover.  From GoodReads.com:"Henry “Monty” Montague was born and bred to be a gentleman, but he was never one to be tamed. The finest boarding schools in England and the constant disapproval of his father haven’t been able to curb any of his roguish passions—not for gambling halls, late nights spent with a bottle of spirits, or waking up in the arms of women or men.

But as Monty embarks on his Grand Tour of Europe, his quest for a life filled with pleasure and vice is in danger of coming to an end. Not only does his father expect him to take over the family’s estate upon his return, but Monty is also nursing an impossible crush on his best friend and traveling companion, Percy. 

 Still it isn’t in Monty’s nature to give up. Even with his younger sister, Felicity, in tow, he vows to make this yearlong escapade one last hedonistic hurrah and flirt with Percy from Paris to Rome. But when one of Monty’s reckless decisions turns their trip abroad into a harrowing manhunt that spans across Europe, it calls into question everything he knows, including his relationship with the boy he adores."


The book came with a cute letter from the author.


A signed bookplate.


And a cute art print map.

All in all, I loved the items in the box as usual, and I can't wait to read the book as I heard a lot about it on BookTube both good and bad.
