Published on by Savana - The Biblio LifeLeave a comment

Hello lovelies!
Fall is finally here, the temperature has dropped and I’ve worn a pull-over hoodie three times this week! Is anyone else super excited about this? I drank hot coffee (decaf of course) before bed last night and it was so magical ♡♡♡

Keep an eye out in the next 2 weeks for my review of The Wolf Road by Beth Lewis. I received it a couple of days ago and I have to say that it’s been hard to put down! I’m thrilled to have gotten a copy for review, can’t wait to share it with you guys!

just-fine-with-caroline-coverI’ve lined up another exciting review for September/October, this one is coming directly from author Annie England Noblin. Her upcoming novel Just Fine With Caroline (October 11 release) is an exciting novel that is sure invoke varying scales of emotion while reading! I can’t wait to snuggle down with it and a cup of hot joe :)

Amazon’s says, “From the author of Sit! Stay! Speak! comes a tender, terrific novel complete with long-buried secrets, a three-legged pot belly pig, and an irresistible dog—an unforgettable story about love, friendship, and community. Perfect for fans of Mary Kay Andrews and Mary Alice Monroe.“

In the coming weeks we will be receiving and repping some ADORABLE handmade bookmarks by Elizabeth with Artsy, Crafty, & Chic, her fantastic shop on Etsy where she sells custom and hand-made bookmarks, cards, etc.! Keep an eye out here and on my Instagram for bookish features including her work! Don’t forget to check out her shop and support a home-grown business ♥

QUESTION: Do you guys have any suggestions for new reads based on what you’ve already read, or currently have on your TBR list? I’ve been attempting to get out of my comfort zone with the varying genres of books that I’ve been reading, I’m stuck in a rut outside of my review copies. Thoughts? Suggestions? Comment below and I’ll be sure to check them out!

Book Box Trials

Published on by Savana - The Biblio Life1 Comment

Happy Thursday!
We’ve subscribed to our first “book box” and are SO excited! I’ve been nervous to do this because as great as they all seem, $30+/month is a lot for a college student on a budget and that’s just for one box. I hate to say it too but I’ve fallen in love with all the goodies that each different box has to offer, so we’ll see how long I can hold off!

Now, I’ve been researching different varieties (Owl Crate, Bookish Box, etc.) and finally decided to start small and simple with a BookCase.Club subscription trial which offers 2 books per month for $9.99 plus $5 shipping & handling making the total $14.99 if you subscribe month to month (there are discounted options for 3, 6, and 12 months). It doesn’t come with all the fun fandom merch that other boxes offer, but with 2 hardcover books it’s hard to argue the price. I’ve read reviews and it seems like most of their boxes value at over $25 consistently, although there are rarely newly published books which probably just means that they get good deals on older books and offer those to their subscribers in turn. Regardless, it seems to be a great value if you haven’t read the books.

Another box I’m dying to try, anyone care to donate? ^_^

That being said, for a newcomer to the book box scene this seems like a great way to start. I signed up for the “Teenage Dreams Case” mostly for the reason that I saw a John Green novel in a sample image and I love his style – I’m definitely hoping to get something along those lines but I am excited to see what they will curate for us. I have yet to find out if you are able to change your box preference during your automatic subscription, I’ll update you on that when I speak with a rep next month.

Would you guys be interested in an unboxing review posted here on the blog? I made my order this week and am hoping to receive it by the first week in October. The unboxing would not be in affiliation or sponsored by BookCase.Club but I’d be happy to provide one for any other book lovers curious about the value and quality of this box. Please comment below if you’re interested and if at least 5 people respond I’ll schedule this ASAP!

Have a great weekend!
XOXO
