Hello folks!

How are things lately? I had been indulging myself with reading these past few days.

One of the greatest pleasures I had had since I was a child was reading.It really excited me to order this as this is the first time I am doing this.

It all started with a new friend. I do wanted to give her something that would make her very happy. I have never encountered this company before. I decided to try it first- but I got so excited I ended up ordering her book after a few days.

The way this thing works is that, you answer a few questions- about your reading preferences, then get to choose if you want to receive some self care items( face masks, serums, etc), snacks( Australian made snacks/ goodies), bookish( annotation supplies, bookmarks, etc) or combination.

It was pretty fun for me as I feel that I am not in control of my book choices- a bit of a surprise! The day that I received this was one of the happiest days of my life and, so, here it is.

And, I got this in every book that I got. A book review. I love looking at it as I have never really done this before.

This was how the books looked- they were wrapped on this plastic bag to protect them.

Overall, I enjoyed reading the books( I have already read Nettle and Bones in my kindle) and, I am gonna start the others as well. I love it so much because, I am helping local businesses- the owner is based in Sydney and they are patronizing local products. That makes me feel really good about this thing.
