Uppercase Box - June

Monday, July 3, 2017



I've been a subscriber to Uppercase Box for about 2 years now, and I'm just as excited and surprised by the content I receive each month to this day. What exactly is Uppercase Box you ask? Well it's an amazing monthly YA book subscription box featuring a new released signed book, and fun bookish items all picked out by Uppercase founder Lisa Parkin. The genres vary from month to month so it's definitely a great way to broaden the types of YA you read, which is something I've been trying to do myself. My very first fantasy (Truthwitch) and sci-fi novel (Starflight) were read because they were an Uppercase pick. From that point on it's hard for me not to picture my "Your Uppercase Has Been Shipped" email appearing every month around the 15th, and you know I'm that girl who refreshes the tracking every hour. So with that being said here I have to show you another great months's box, June's Uppercase. Included inside was Song of the Current by Sarah Tolcser and a map to go along with the book. A tote bag designed by Allison Cole, and a Book Nerd lapel pin by Jubly Umph.



I haven't had a chance to start Song of the Current but I was very familiar with the book prior to release date because I was following the author, Sarah, on my social media. I was so excited to finally have it in my hands!
Here's the summary:
Caroline Oresteia is destined for the river. For generations, her family has been called by the river god, who has guided their wherries on countless voyages throughout the Riverlands. At seventeen, Caro has spent years listening to the water, ready to meet her fate. But the river god hasn’t spoken her name yet—and if he hasn’t by now, there’s a chance he never will. Caro decides to take her future into her own hands when her father is arrested for refusing to transport a mysterious crate. By agreeing to deliver it in exchange for his release, Caro finds herself caught in a web of politics and lies, with dangerous pirates after the cargo—an arrogant courier with a secret—and without the river god to help her. With so much at stake, Caro must choose between the life she always wanted and the one she never could have imagined for herself.

Please stay tuned for my review once I get around to reading this awesome book and be sure to check out Uppercase Box if you haven't already! I know there a few other YA book subscription boxes out there but so far Uppercase is the only one I've tried, but I know you will not regret buying this box if your a huge YA fiction fan! Take care and happy reading!
