Like many writers, I absolutely love to read. And when I start a book, I will devour it as energetically as I do a piece of cheesecake. In fact, devouring a book AND a piece of cheesecake is pretty close to paradise in my opinion.
So, when I heard that my friend Kerri had started a subscription box service especially for those that love a good book, I couldn’t wait to learn more. And when I found out that every box also came with a tasty treat and a hot drink to savour, I was in heaven.
The Sweet Reads Box is a reader’s dream come true, featuring a carefully curated novel, a specialty coffee or tea, a sweet treat and an item or two specially chosen to fit the theme of the book. I received the September box to review and I couldn’t wait to dig into everything inside.
The book? Fierce Kingdom by Gin Phillips. This story of how a mother and son’s trip to the zoo turns into a terrifying three-hour race for survival had me turning the pages as fast as I could. And of course, as the mother of three boys, it tugged at my heart with every word too.
To compliment my reading experience, the box also contained a package of A Mother’s Love tea from Tea-Gram, a very fitting elephant-shaped Big Brew tea infuser to brew up my cup of tea and a beautiful and delicious cookie from Edible Cakes.
The crowing jewel to the box was a beautiful charm necklace from Foxy Originals containing a very fitting quote by e.e. cummings: “You are my sun, my moon and all of my stars.” This sentiment is one that echoes the main character’s fierce love for her son, and is perfect for any mother.
My experience with the Sweet Reads Box was exactly what I hoped it would be. It let me sit back, relax and enjoy indulgent time to myself with all my favourite things. If you love a good book, this is one subscription box you’ll want to check out.
And don’t forget that with the holidays coming, a subscription makes a great gift too! Visit the site to learn more about the boxes and the subscription options, then spoil yourself, surprise your favourite reader with the perfect gift, or both! The carefully curated novel and complimentary items are sure to be loved by any bookworm.
I’d love to win this subscription box because I love book subscription boxes. I’ve found sound awesome books this way and I will read just about anything! I’ve had some extra time to read lately and I’m just about done the books i have at home.
I love books, and I love reading especially before bed, so I would love to win this.
I enjoy reading, even though I don’t have as much time to read now as I did before. Early to bed, early to rise. And a full work day too. But I do love books and sweets too.
wow this would be fantastic and fun to receive.
I would love to win this for my mom. She is retired, but never takes time for herself. She loves to read but is not the kind to go out and buy herself a book. This would be fantastic and would sort of be a ritual, a book, tea and cookies – who wouldn’t love it :)
I like to read a lot and it’s fun to find things to go with that.
I would love to discover a new read that was curated.
I’m an avid reader so this is just up my street, thanks so much for the chance to win :-)
I would love to win this for my son who would love this-because I love him!
I would love to win the sweet reads subscription box because I have never had a subscription box that interested me as much as this one does. I am an avid reader and would love to enjoy a great book and sip on a cup of tea. There is nothing more relaxing than this for me.
