Frankenstein Personal Book Box 2.0 with Giveaway & Discount Code

If you have poked around on my blog for any amount of time, you will come across some mention of my all time favorite book Frankenstein.  I usually re-read it this time of year because it is such an atmospheric book and definitely suits the autumn/Halloween vibe. However, since I re-read the book earlier this year in a readalong, I decided not to read it again now, I did enjoy putting together my own little book box at the end of that readalong and decided to do it again, only with higher end items that I have been drooling over for ages.

This also kicks off a full week of Frankenstein, so I hope you enjoy it as much as I do, I have a lot of great adaptations and re-tellings to share with all of you!

So I have for you a fantastic Frankenstein Book Box, full of high end merchandise items and as part of this post I also have a discount code and a giveaway to share my love of all things Frankenstein!

So on with my selections . . .


So included in my box I have

The Parade Special Collector's Edition celebrating the 200th Anniversary of Frankenstein I found at my local Barnes and Noble.
I also found a Frankenstein's Monster Cookie at my local grocery store.
Of course I had to add another edition to my collection, and this time I picked the Knickerbocker Classics edition

I am absolutely in love with this long sleeve tshirt from Thornfield Hall Co. on Etsy, I even wore it to the Boston Teen Author Festival. It is super soft and comfy and I wear it as often as possible!

and for those wondering the quote because it isn't super legible
“My heart was fashioned to be susceptible of love and sympathy, and when wrenched by misery to vice and hatred, it did not endure the violence of the change without torture such as you cannot image.” — Frankenstein's Monster

Then I have this pillow that looks like the book (and even opens up to the first page of text) from Brassington Hollow on Etsy. I had actually ordered this for the original book box but it took a very long time coming. But it was totally worth the wait!

Now I am always cold, while at work on the computer and while reading my hands get especially cold because they aren't always under a warm blanket. So I finally used this as an excuse to pick up these fingerless gloves from Storiarts, they are not super thick and bulky so they are perfect for just keeping that chill away while still allowing you to turn the pages.

And of course finally I need a way to carry all of my Frankenstein goodies! I have been drooling over this tote bag from LiteraryBookGifts for a few months now. I love the classic novel style of art and the font style.  I ordered a large tote, and it is HUGE! It is also a nice thick canvas so it can definitely hold up to those big book shopping sprees or large library visits!

So what do you think? Which is your favorite item? Is there any book you wish had more fan merchandise or is there any one particular item you have been drooling over?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So I can't get all the good stuff and leave you guys hanging, so I have a few goodies for you too!


First Melissa at Literary Book Gifts so kindly contacted me regarding her site and products and offered a discount code for my followers. So you can use the code EASTERNSUNSET20 for 20% off your purchase of anything in the story, and you can use it unlimited times, no minimum purchase. When I ordered my tote, I also ordered the moonlight Sonata shirt and it is so soft and the image beautiful! It is also not like a lot of the shirts you get that have a clear silk screened image that seem a little shiny and start to peel after a few washes, this one really seems a part of the shirt, it is very well made and super comfy and soft.  So head over to LiteraryBookGifts.com and start your Christmas shopping for those bookish loved ones or yourself ;)

    1. I have only come across a few people who are as passionate about Frankenstein as we are, but there should be more!

  2. I need to read this again. It is such a hauntingly beautiful book. I looked for that shirt you have, but it said the page I was looking for wasn't found.

    1. That would be great, and not the cutesy or TV/Movie based.

  6. It does seem like adult books get left behind when it comes to merchandise, except of course Jane Austen.
