So I know there are thousands of subscription services out there and so many book or coffee themed ones; and though I’ve been wanting to try one for a while, I just couldn’t find the right fit. I wanted something at least a little personal and not a box in a “box” per-say 🙂 I found two that I was hopeful for, this is my unveiling of company number one Blue Spider’s Attic:
“The Magic of a Used Bookstore, Delivered.”
I am not a big fan of the name but I loved the concept of the company; used books, customized to you by taking a little questionnaire (about both coffee and books) choice of 1 or 3 books, fun themes! It feels personal and made me really excited for my box to come.
I was a little sad at first because my package was left in the rain and a few things got wet, but it did not ruin the overall excitement.
I do wish they would double package them though 😦
I love this quaint little sugar spoon!
“I have measured my life with coffee spoons” T.S. Eliot
A sample from this fun company that does soup themed from books and tea, great combo! This ones

I had not heard of this book so I was excited to have this book be my first unveiled. Had some water damage 😦 but it will survive!

I love that there was a science fiction/ fantasy book, it shows that they really were catering the order to me.

Yay another treasure!
A cute little teacup necklace, LOVE it!
Well I must say that even despite the less than desirable name (I hate spiders,) and my first package arriving soaked and therefore getting one wet book, I still loved the experience. I thought the trinkety treasures were fun and relevant. I was also impressed with the books choices. Based on what I said I enjoyed it was spot on, general/historical fiction, Classic Literature, and Science Fiction/ Fantasy. It was also nice that the prices were really reasonable. Good Job Blue Spider Attic I will be giving you another try.
Have you every tried any relative subscription boxes? If so please
share about your experience!
NICE subscription box! (But that name! I hate spiders too! 😄)

This sounds like a super cool idea! I love the idea of a box that combines tea and coffee with books.

A nice experience Abbie Lu. Sorry about the rains in the West…
I had a subscription years and years ago when we lived in Africa, with virtually no bookstore close by. No box then though. 🙂
The Amber wizard sounds good. I’ve been re-reading Michael Moorcock. 🙂
Be good. (Or bad!) 😉

Once I originally commented I clicked the -Notify me when new feedback are added- checkbox and now each time a remark is added I get four emails with the same comment. Is there any manner you possibly can take away me from that service? Thanks!

I’m so sorry to hear that. This is something to contact WordPress about, because it’s there service and I don’t know how it works. Please let me know if it does not get resolved!
