Illumicrate June 2024 Unboxing

The digital edges! The full-color hardcover! Is this the most exclusive book I've ever gotten? Not by a long shot. But I'm SQUEALING over how stunning the redesigned features are! Plus, dragons. I'm obsessed. And super excited to read this!
Am I too excited about mechanical pencils? Probably, LOL. I just think pretty office supplies are so much fun! It's my inner child coming out ... oh well! I do love that we got such a lovely album to hold the many character prints I've accumulated over the years. Overall, I'm quite pleased with this box! I do think some people will find it underwhelming, though, so I'm curious what the majority feedback will be!
What did you think of the box and the book?

ABOUT
Book lover, librarian, and hopeful future author, I adore all things bookish! No matter where my day takes me, books are sure to be involved somehow. While I lean toward fantasy and romance, I'll read just bout any genre and have recently started in on nonfiction (thank you, audiobooks) for the first time in my life. My dogs are the absolute best and they put up with the MASSIVE amounts of coffee I drink. If you want reviews, book box comparisons, and more, be sure to check out my website!
I'm an upstart right now with all this social media and blogging stuff, but I'm loving it!

I received my package two days ago. I wish they would add some pink color to the hardcover, similar to the color on the edges. The pencils are my favorite part of the set.

That would have really tied the whole design together. It makes me wonder if the different artists communicate with one another, or if they're just given basic blueprints of what Illumicrate wants for the edition and roll with that ...

That cover reminds me of When The Moon Hatched in that color way…

I had to go refresh my mind on that cover, but yeah, they really are similar with the color scheme! The blue variants with the silver has such a beautiful effect
