Our Spring box is back with new prints, bookmarks, treats and scents!!

The perfect gift for yourself or a bookish friend, this box has a beautiful selection of treats and a book to help you spend some time reading during the lighter evenings coming our way.

Delicious tasty treats, beautiful beverages, gorgeous scents and of course bookish accompaniments fill this box to the brim because you deserve it!

A feel-good, heart-warming romance for anyone desperate to break out of their shell and find their true self.

Dumped by Instagram post. Not a whiff of a social life. Can it get any worse?

After a string of failed relationships – romantic and platonic – Lea’s had enough of watching life happen without her. When she bumps into Shep, a comedian at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in need of accommodation, it feels like destiny. And voilá – Lea now has a lodger and some company.

Filled with danger, spirit and tenderness, this is a book about human connection and the human condition; about how we survive — not just at sea, but in life.

Maurice and Maralyn couldn’t be more different. He is as cautious and awkward as she is charismatic and forceful. It seems an unlikely romance, but it works.

Shipwrecked at sea caused by a whale, and stuck on a tiny raft, their love is put to the test.

We often read and review books ahead of publication thanks to the generosity of many authors and publishers that we are connected with which helps us to know what’s coming and what we should be putting in our boxes.

Sarah Crossan can say so much with so few words, and that is the incredible power of her writing. She conveys a thousand emotions through a few lines of prose, words that you could dissect over and over again in multiple different ways. Her books are […]
This isn’t a ‘Friends’ tell-all. It’s the life before, the bits during and what came after. It has a respectful amount of references to Friends, the struggles, the best bits, the friendships… but it’s not insightful into the series. It’s not meant to be. It’s candid, […]
My only complaint is that this book ended! I could have read chapters and chapters more of Loretta’s life and happenings. It is both heart-breaking and heart-warming all at the same time. Moments that are so emotional and poignant whipped around within a few pages to […]
