My Book Moment Unboxing – February 2019
Such a great blog post about #MyBookMoment!
Make sure you don’t miss you on this fantastic book box subscription
I’m thrilled to be sharing the contents of the first My Book Moment box which I received last week. You can find out more about My Book Moment at their website mybookmoment.com, but this is a new monthly box where you can choose between popular fiction or crime and thriller. Whichever option you choose, the book will be a new paperback release and the box will also come with a hot drink and snack plus a third, mystery item. At £12 per box, I think that this makes a great gift for the book lover in your life, or for when you fancy a little treat for yourself! 😉
I love that the slim design of My Book Moment fits through the letter box, helping to avoid a trip to the local sorting office. And the packaging is all recyclable too, using card and paper to protect the goodies…
