Unplugged Book Box Review August 2020
Unplugged Book Box is a monthly book subscription box featuring one hardcover new release Young Adult or new release hardcover or paperback Adult Fiction book (published within 2 months of shipment) + 4 to 6 bookish self-care goodies that help you focus on you. They kindly sent us this box for review.
I recently started reviewing Unplugged Book Box again after taking a bit of a break and I’m so glad to be receiving it again. Last month’s box was amazing. It included one of my favorite reads of the year. The July Unplugged Book Box included a thriller – The Swap – and it was SO good that I finished it in 3 days. I’m hoping to see more book choices like that in future boxes.

Here’s a closer look at the August Adult Unplugged Book Box….
The August 2020 Unplugged Book Box theme is Adventure.
The back of the product card lists all the items in the box. The products tie in with different fandoms, TV shows, and books.
Four Seasons at Angelino’s
Charlotte’s vow to replace her devious boyfriend with Mr. Right should be easy for the ambitious restaurant publicist with access to men all over the world. But stir in nefarious colleagues, work romances, and a frenemy, with escapades around the globe, and you’ll get a recipe for disaster.
During a downward spiral of calamities in Japan, India, France, Russia, and stateside, the hopeful romantic believes she’ll finally savor the sweet taste of victory—and perhaps Wyatt, the elusive teetotaler environmentalist who always rises to the top like a perfect soufflé, is the man to put out her fires and set the butterflies in her stomach free. Yet something is holding him back as he keeps Charlotte in the friendship zone. Will she mature in time to uncover his secrets, or leave him behind as she falls for a new man every season?
Four Seasons at Angelino’s is a modern relationship story about women’s empowerment, timing, communication, prioritizing, undeniable chemistry, and all the other ingredients that comprise a delicious dish called love.
Game of Thrones Book Sleeve
Take an adventure through Westeros, and don’t forget your exclusive book sleeve to protect your books. This game of Thrones book sleeve was designed by Azura Arts just for Unplugged.
Yes! This is one of my all-time favorite TV shows. I am so excited to see one of the items themed after such an awesome show. And what a great product for a book subscription. I don’t have a book sleeve so this is something I very much appreciate.
Book Dragon Reusable Straw
Don’t forget to stay hydrated while going on adventures at the end of your Summer. This reusable straw is an Unplugged exclusive.
I am loving all the eco-friendly goodies featured in subscription boxes as of late. This reusable straw, complete with carrying case and cleaning brush, is perfect for my purse….or book bag.
Jurassic Park Bug Repellant
Protect yourself from prehistoric mosquitos as you explore the jungles of jurassic Park. Keep your eyes peeled for dinosaurs hiding in the trees. This Unplugged exclusive inspired by Michael Crichton’s book by Scrub It LLC.
Love the Jurassic Park theme and love this product! It might be one of my favorite Unplugged exclusives to date. Not only do I love essential oil roll-ons but I love the usefulness of the product itself. I like to walk or hike every day and being able to bring this handy little bug repellant roll-on with me is pretty darn awesome.
Dune Charcoal Cleansing Bar
Cleanse your skin after exploring the dry, dessert planet of Arrakis. This exclusive charcoal cleanser is inspired by Dune by Frank Hebert and was cerated by Es(scents)s Bath & Body for Unplugged.
This charcoal cleansing bar is formulated for your face and made with Kaolin Clay and Activated Charcoal. It has a subtle peppermint scent and peppermint just happens to be a favorite.
Lord of the Rings Mug
After your adventures through Middle-Earth, enjoy a relaxing tea or coffee in this exclusive mug. It was designed by Nathanna Erica for Unplugged. It is the first in a series of favorite fantasy fandoms mugs designed by Nathanna! Expect additional collectible mugs with her artwork in future boxes.
Eeek! How exciting is this?! Coffee cups and books go together like peanut butter and jam. I can’t read a book without a cup of coffee or tea beside me. And……there’s mention of more mugs being featured in future boxes. I can’t wait!
Unplugged Book Box Review August 2020 – Final Thoughts
The August Unplugged Book Box features a fun new release, and even though it’s a book I wouldn’t have picked out on my own it still sounds like a good read, it gets great reviews and I do love the idea of a modern relationship story. In addition to that we received a wonderful selection of bookish goodies. All of which are exclusives to Unplugged Book Box making them that much more exciting to receive. My favorite item is the bug repellant roll-on, and I’m very excited about the fact that we can expect to see more coffee mugs in future boxes. Now who’s looking forward to the September Anniversary box? I know I am!
