A Bookish Box from D.E. Night

I received a Bookish Surprise this week from D.E. Night.
I must say I immediately fell in love with the box.


It's a Magical box!
How exciting.


This beautiful picture was on the back of the card.


Let's see what else is in the box.


A signed ARC of D.E. Night's upcoming book The Crowns of Croswald and a pretty blue bottle.

There was also a letter from D.E. Night as well.


The packing paper was a newspaper which had some intriguing headlines.
I can't wait to start reading the book!


The bottle is a Glanagerie Bottle.
According to the card that came with it "Glanageries are the ultimate potion of the mind. Where ideas, dreams, fears, and magic simmer together for out-of-this-world experiences."


And it glows!!!


Keep an eye out on my other blog for my review of The Crowns of Croswald!


About the book:
In D.E. Night’s debut novel, The Crowns of Croswald, magic sparks around every corner in a kingdom ruled by a dark queen. Ivy, a young orphan living in the Kingdom of Croswald discovers that she has powers of her own. She enrolls at the Halls of Ivy, a school where young students learn to master their magical blood and the power that Croswald’s mysterious gems can wield. Unfortunately, Ivy’s schooling – and her life – is threatened by the evil queen and her henchmen. As Ivy tries to unearth her past and save Croswald’s future, a fantastical adventure ensues.

A Magic Tournament

Yesterday we finally went to do something fun.
We went to the station and took a bus to Assen to take part in a Magic: The Gathering Tournament.

I only play this game once a year and am always surprised by how much new rules and cards there are each year.

Of the four games I played I won only one game, so I didn't get to take home the trophy. I can dream though and hope I will win it one day.

A Magic Tournament in Assen

Yesterday evening we went to Assen by train as we were invited for a Magic Tournament.

I love travelling by train! There's so much to see.

My owner also brought her cat who can double as a bag. We had a little chat on the way.

At the tournament there were really cool prizes to win: dice! A gold one for the person who would win first pace, silver for second place and bronze for third place.

When my owner and me got our cards there was a really cool and creepy zombie card among them!

We made a deck out of the cards we got and then we were ready to play.

It was a bit too dark there to take any more pictures while we were playing sadly enough, but it was lots of fun I can tell you.

But my owner and me didn't do so well and we lost!! That did mean we won a consolation prize though: Two really beautiful 10-sided dice.
