I am very excited that I just got my first UPPERCASE box in the mail yesterday!! In case you don’t know what it is or what you get, Uppercase box is a subscription service with two levels of membership. For the first level, you get an Expert Pick – this is a hand-selected book that the YA experts love and recommend. The Personalized Recommendation box, which is what I have, comes with a book selected just for YOU based on your preference quiz. The boxes are filled with:
- A book, either chosen specifically for your preferences OR one that is generally recommended by an expert
- A gift, like bookmarks, jewelry, totes, etc. (that obviously relate to books!)
- A personal explanation of the book choice and other similar titles
- Some discount codes for popular book-buying websites
Without further ado, here’s my Personalized Recommendation Box!
I’ve gotta say, she definitely hit the nail on the head. Pivot Point by Kasie West has been on my TBR list for a while and I just hadn’t gotten around to buying it yet. The bookmarks are so cute – it’s a pad of 25 bookmarks that say “Yes I’m Actually Reading This” with areas to fill in the book, author, questions, words, etc. I loved the handwritten note that came with it! She chose Pivot Point because I like writers similar to Jenny Han and paranormal books. “It’s got it all – fantasy and romance and suspense.” Woohoo! 🙂
I’m so tempted to join this. I do Popsugar Must Have so that is holding me back, but this just looks so fun. What is better than a mystery box??? A mystery box WITH books! 🙂
And you will LOVE Pivot Point. It’s so well clever.
I really like it! Of course I splurged and got the Personal Recommendation box, but I think it’s worth them tailoring it to your interests. She did a good job since Pivot Point has definitely been on my radar for a while! I searched forever for a book subscription box and stumbled across this one so I had to do it lol. The Expert Pick box is only $29 I think so that’s not too bad.
These boxes popping up seem like so much fun! I’m glad yours was a success! Pivot Point is a great book and I hope you enjoy it.
I’m so excited to finally read it!!
What a fun idea! And Pivot Point is pretty enjoyable!
This sounds totally awesome! My aunt bought me the bookmarks for my 21st and I’m afraid to use them all up because I love them so much. They’re really useful if you’re an avid reader and like to be reminded of inspirational bits if you’re a writer too. Looks really cool!
It’s definitely a cool subscription box for avid readers! I splurged and got the personalized box so I could get some books I may not normally pick up.
How did I not know or hear about this before today!?
It’s awesome! Definitely check it out
I heard about this before it was really started and I really really want to join! I love the idea…now if I can only convince my parents to go for it too…;)
Haha it’s awesome. Definitely a fun surprise of what’s inside
