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.

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…
