September/October 2026 Theme: Shadows & Soil

As America reflects on its 250-year legacy, Black America reflects on the secrets within the shadows of the soil—carried through generations by the ghosts of Civil War ancestors and the sacred fight for land built upon the struggle to fulfill broken promises of forty acres and a mule.

This October 2026, treat yourself to a beautifully curated book box highlighting the Black experience. Our debut book box celebrates and eviscerates the United States’ semiquincentennial. Arriving at your doorstep every February, April, June, August, October, and December, each box contains two handpicked books paired with thoughtfully themed bookish extras to elevate your reading rituals and bookshelves.

Hurry! Spots for our highly anticipated debut book box in October 2026, “Soil & Shadows,” are open for pre-order! Subscribe by October 15 at midnight EST. Secure your box today before they sell out completely!

Cover Artist

GARZA MORENAA is a young, queer, Afro-Latina illustrator and graphic designer based in France since 2019. She’s been drawing since she was little, but she’s recently decided to pursue illustration professionally! Garza’s visual style is colorful, vibrant, and sometimes fantastical and comforting, with a semi-realistic aesthetic. She is proud to highlight Black and non-white individuals as well as the LGBTQ+ community, because growing up, Garza didn’t even know it was possible to be gay in Nicaragua. She wants to be the representation that her younger self wished she had. Commission Garza through Ko-fi, V-GEN, or directly through her DMs on Instagram!
