Two Days Only!

My Autumn Book box is now on sale for $20.00 for the next two days! I need to make room for my Christmas supplies, and want to get these moving! There are things to read, eat, drink, and wear, as well as a couple other handmade gifts!

Thanks for taking the time to look! Autumn Book Box!

Your Thanksgiving Themed Book!

The cozy-mystery paperback I’ve included in my Autumn book box is “The Turkey Day Murder” by Leslie Meier.

This is book #7 in the Lucy Stone mysteries, but is also a stand-alone book. So never fear, if you haven’t read any of the other books in this series, you will not be lost or confused! I have read several of the books in this series, and none of them in order 🙂 Each was a great read, and I was not questioning what I may have missed from a previous book that seems tied to the one I was reading.

This is just one of several fantastic items included! Everything is wrapped and packaged for a gift recipient, or you can indulge in this book box for yourself as we all get prepared for the upcoming Holiday Seasons!

One of the Items in Your Autumn Book Box!

I don’t know about you, but I love fun socks! These socks are not only fun, but soft and warm and comfy! These are just one of the many items in your Autumn book box! Check out my Etsy store for more information on ordering yours today!

My Autumn Book Box is Done!

It took me forever, and I am losing money by sending it to anyone, but I do not care!

I am so happy with the products in this box: there are books and magazines to read, yummy stuff to eat, drink, and things to wear!

My Christmas box is lined up, so think ahead to your bookish friends, and I guarantee they will not be disappointed!

 

My October Book Box…

…Has now become my Autumn book box!

I did not know planning a wedding would take up so much of my time! Especially when my daughter and son-in-law did the majority of the work 🙂

I do not want to rush putting the boxes together so I can ship them out this week and have them received well before Halloween. I have a bit of tweaking to do and want to add a couple other items. I do not see any reason why they will not be shipping before the end of October, and they will still be filled with Fall goodies!

I am so glad now that I did not buy Halloween-specific books, and focused on mystery books instead!

And I don’t know what the weather is like where you are, but here in West Michigan, it is sunny and mid-seventies all week. Which does not make me a happy girl…I am ready for 50 degree days, scarves, and crisp air!

 

 

A Quick Survey About Subscription Boxes!

If you have not completed a survey on subscription boxes for me, and can spare a couple minutes (It really is only a couple minutes!) I would greatly appreciate it!

Thanks! More bookish things coming tomorrow!

Coming Soon; Your October Book Box!

So, I have had this idea bouncing around in my head for the last month or so, of starting a Subscription Box Business. Featuring, of course…books.

And I searched all of the available ones already out there, and there are a bunch! One to never be deterred, I kept the idea in the back of my mind, still bouncing around on a daily basis.

I researched custom boxes, personalized shipping tape, printed tissue paper, what to call this business, how to start a subscription box business, what platform to use, etc. etc. etc.

Trust me, the list goes on, and on.

Do I use my already licensed business name of Books and Opinions, which I have trademarked, paid for, and created a logo for? Probably not. Enter more licensing and trademark fees, creating a new website, and giving myself one more thing to manage.

I have reached out to various authors for buying bulk quantities of their books for a specific month (I have a theme going on here!), and the response has been fantastic!

It is nearly September; school starts again in a minute, my weekly church activities start back up at the same time, and my oldest daughter is getting married the first weekend of October. Never one to give up, here is what I am going to do…

…I love Autumn, Fall, Halloween, October, November, I think you get the idea. So I have to have a box for October. And I do!

I just bought some great mystery books, and mystery magazines (think Alfred Hitchcock and Ellery Queen!). Add some Autumn Spiced tea, gourmet cookies or chocolate, and a handmade gift or two, all in the Spirit of Spookiness! I am still “building” this box, so some more items may be tossed in!

So I have some questions. If you could be so kind as to complete the attached 8 question survey, I would greatly appreciate it! You can find the survey here: Subscription Box Survey
