Tomorrow is the last day to order/subscribe and get a box from this round. I know I’m biased, but I think you’re really going to like these books and what I’ve picked to go with them. Remember, we have both full size and mini boxes so you can pick whatever option best fits your budget. You can also
How about some super vague hints at some of my inspiration for the goodies for this round. Anything pique your interest?
I am so bad at keeping secrets like this. I’ve had so much fun picking out & designing goodies for this round & I just want to tell people so they can be excited too.

This round’s boxes have our first custom designed goodies. I’m still working out the design for the romance box. But I am OBSESSED with the design I have planned for the fantasy version. I might just have to order an extra one for myself.
Order by Jan 10 to get this month’s box!

Book spoilers ahead! Scroll at your own risk! Don't say we didn't warn you.
Subscriptions are now open! Order by Jan 10th to get the first box of 2025
Oops I forgot I have an account here 🙈
We had some technical difficulties that delayed the shop opening but they’re all fixed now. You still have a few more days to get the first boxes of 2025! More details on this month’s boxes below.
www.novelcratebox.com
We have mini and full size boxes to try and meet every budget. And we are committed to featuring BIPoC, LGBTQIA+, or neurodivergent or disabled authors in at least 50% of our boxes.
If you’re finding us for the first time, we’re a slightly different book box. Instead of a special edition, we include an ebook copy of the featured book with exclusive bonus content. So whether you already have a physical copy or just prefer ebooks, you can still get all the fun of a book box.
🧵
Anyone who subscribes starting on Jan 11 will get the March box.
If you were here for our last round, you may notice that Dark Romance & YA are not listed. There just wasn’t enough interest to be able to meet minimum quantities for the goodies. They’re not gone forever, just for a bit as we grow.

It’s time to announce the featured authors for our first boxes of 2025! It has been so hard to keep this secret for the last couple weeks. Narrowing down the list was tough but I think these are the perfect books to start 2025!

The polio vaccine worked so well, humans forgot polio existed — and somehow that’s the problem.
Here we go, this is what “leave it up to the states” looks like in practice (but we already knew that)
I am literally BEGGING people to not forget about those of us with disabilities right now. I have seen post after post full of concern for every kind of marginalized people (listed out) that say nothing about the disabled community. It really effing hurts.
Also, please wear a mask in public.
