Book Of The Month- August 2018

Book Of The Month- August 2018

My apologies for my delay on this one! Things have been so crazy busy with the wedding quickly approaching but with all of the packages that have arrived on our doorstep recently, seeing the BOTM blue box was a very welcomed change of pace from all the wedding-related items!

Let’s dive in!

Book Of The Month Box- August 2018

I loved the quote on the bookmark in this box! What a great message.

And of course I picked the thriller option again; Sweet Little Lies by Caz Frear! And how awesome is that cover?! Click here to check out my review of the book!

Thanks for reading!

    I have yet to get into the book boxes craze. What made you choose this one?

      I like this one because it's JUST a book and a bookmark. I don't have room for a bunch of extra bookish things, so I'm VERY picky about the bookish items that I do bring into the house. I also really like that you can choose from a selection of books or skip a month if you aren't interested in the options. I think it's also wonderfully priced, and you can aways select an additional book (or books!) for an additional low cost. It's a bargain! 🙂

      Oh good to know! Yes, I am a small apartment and we are looking to move soon and I have way too many books, so definitely don't need extra bookish things.

      Oh my gosh, same. We're in a townhouse…but it's far too small for us now. When we moved in it was fine! We didn't have much furniture and I only had 80 books… but now? We have all the key furniture that we could fit and the books are EVERYWHERE haha

    That cover is BEAUTIFUL, and it would definitely make me pick this up and give it a good look. I haven't become a BOTM member because I am trying to avoid adding to my massive book collection, but I will live vicariously through you.

    I’ve been on the fence with this book box! I’ve down Bookworm Box, OwlCrate, LitCube, Uppercase Box, and Bubbles & Books. I love book boxes!

      Oooh! I haven't tried any of those yet! I did try PageHabit, but I didn't like it at all… 🙁

    I have not heard of this book box or the book. It looks interesting and I am glad you are liking it. That is an awesome quote too.

    I like the idea of these book boxes but they are way too expensive for my budget!

      I hear ya… If this wasn't a gift, I probably wouldn't have splurged. But this one isn't priced too high! 🙂 It's basically $10 a book!

    I have thought of joining a BOTM club in the past, I'm hesitant… what if I get a book I don't like. I'm happy to see with this one you're able to pick the genre you want and it doesn't come with a bunch of little extras. Happy to hear that you are enjoying it.

      Yeah, that's always a struggle for me too! That's why I mainly only buy books that I've already read from the library 🙂 I do really like that you get to choose from a pretty great selection for this one, so it's not like you're forced to take the ONE book the choose for the month. And you can always skip a month if you're not interested! 🙂

    Looks like a good choice. I think because Fall is setting in, I'm in the mood for a good thriller. I'll keep my eyes posted for your review of this one!
