Here is a list of 5 great book subscription boxes (UK) for you try out this year! With Christmas over and the start of a new year, it’s nice to treat ourselves to a little something with the gifted money!
I am not sponsored by any of the book subscription boxes below, they just look fab and I wanted to share them on The Fantasy Review.
Queer Book Box
The Queer Book Box have three book subscription boxes to choose from:
- Original Box – From £15.00
- Super Box – From £30.00
- All Out Box – From £45.00
They source their books from Gay’s the Word bookshop in London, an independent, lesbian and gay bookshop established in 1979. I often buy books through their online store and they are fantastic!
Illumicrate
Illumicrate subscription boxes include a recently released hardback edition of a book, specially made and exclusive to this company.
You can pay for a box that comes with the book and lots of other goodies, or just purchase the book on it’s own for a lower price.
There is also the Afterlight Bi-Monthly Subscription which comes with a romance book and items to help you chill out and look after yourself.
The prices for the different subscriptions are:
- Illumicrate Book Only – £17.00
- Illumicrate Box – £27.00
- Afterlight Romance – £20.00

Additonally, you can give these to family or friends with personalised gift subscriptions.
FairyLoot
Fairyloot is the number 1 fantasy book subscription box in the UK, so it’s no surprise they have a waitlist to join up! So, you probably won’t be able to start straight away, but there’s no reason not to get on the list if you’re interested.
The book box and book-only plans offer a hardback edition of an anticipated YA or Adult fantasy book. Subscriptions start at £23.95 per month.

The Hand Me Down Club sounds so cool!
