I don’t have a subscription for OwlCrate, but I like to keep an eye out for special boxes to pick up or specific bookish items in their shop. They do a great job filling their boxes with bookish items to match their books.
I was excited when they announced a 10th Anniversary Collector’s Edition Box of The Scorpio Races. It’s been almost 10 years since I read this one, but I still remember what an impact it made on me. It was the first of Maggie Stiefvater’s books I read, and when I finished it, I immediately started picking up everything else she had published so far. She’s still one of my favorite authors. I’m planning to start a reread with my new collector’s edition copy in the next few days.
This box was full of Thisby-themed items lovingly created by many gifted artists, and after checking out their shops, I have plenty of new ideas for Christmas presents. 🙂 I was happy to discover a card with a scan code for a Spotify playlist, as well! I’m excited to show you what I found inside.
Let’s wander in!
The Book
The 10th Anniversary Collector’s Edition of The Scorpio Races includes an exclusive cover, reversible dust jacket with stunning artwork by Maggie Stiefvater, an exclusive foil design on the hardcover case designed by @paperbackbones, a letter from Maggie bound into the book, and an exclusive bonus chapter. And best of all, it’s signed!
Synopsis:
It happens at the start of every November: the Scorpio Races. Riders attempt to keep hold of their water horses long enough to make it to the finish line. Some riders live. Others die.
At age nineteen, Sean Kendrick is the returning champion. He is a young man of few words, and if he has any fears, he keeps them buried deep, where no one else can see them.
Puck Connolly is different. She never meant to ride in the Scorpio Races. But fate hasn’t given her much of a chance. So she enters the competition — the first girl ever to do so. She is in no way prepared for what is going to happen.
