If we are talking about supporting bookstores, one webshop I have been supporting for a while is Anderwereld. I follow them on social media, I buy a book here and there, I’ve been active in their events in the past etc. Back in 2019 I even met one of the owners, Nine.
Anderwereld is a fantasy based book webshop with second-hand and new books. They also have some goodies and they are incredibly interactive with their customers. Recently they also opened a real life store! One thing they also offer is Book Boxes. And for my birthday I ordered one of the October boxes.
I haven’t bought any in the past because the books in the boxes (with any subsription in general) can be a bit of a miss for me. But Anderwereld works with a lot of creators who hand make things, and unlike bigger book boxes, rarely add in merch that has to do with other (popular) books.
The October box I ordered was the Fairytale box. I had a good idea of what the book was going to be at some point and, really, can you go wrong with fairtales?
Overall I’m pretty happy with the box. The book doesn’t quite fit in the sleeve though and I think that is a shame. On the other hand plenty of books will fit the sleeve and it is super pretty!

Oh my! That box was full of wonders!! So beautiful! I’ll be checking them out for sure

Jammer dat het boek niet in de sleeve past maar wel leuk dat de items verder zo mooi op elkaar zijn afgestemd.

That’s such a cute book box! I haven’t signed up for any subscriptions either, because I also think they’re hit or miss, but this looks like it was a great one.

This looks amazing! I agree book boxes can get a bit ‘all the same’ but this one is so lovely
