Uppercase – A YA Book Subscription Box for Readers on a Budget – August Unboxing

If you’re looking for a simple and fun young adult subscription box for book lovers, Uppercase might be for you.

What Is Uppercase?

Each month you get a signed book with themed items you’ll use and love. Some of the items will be themed to the book while others are just useful book themed items that the curators of Uppercase thought you might like. They strive for quality over quantity, which is a quality I admire in a subscription service.

In addition to the fun physical items you receive, each box gets you some digital freebies that add to the reading experience and connect you to readers across the fandom through discussions, quizzes, and other exclusive activities.

This Month’s Box

August’s box takes us on a journey into the world of Dance of Thieves by Mary E. Pearson.

The items included in this box were:

  • A signed copy of Dance of Thieves
  • (2) “You Are a Rare Edition” notecards
  • A sword necklace
  • A Harry Potter Platform 9 and 3/4 travel journal (see what I mean about quality over quantity here?)
  • Bookmark with page and code that tell you when to log in and check out special discussions and digital freebies that go along with your reading experience!

This is the first of three Uppercase boxes I’ll be receiving for GeekMom, so stay tuned for my next review in September and follow along to see if next month is as awesome as this month.
