I\’ve seen a fair few of these Book-Subscription boxes on my various social media travels and I fully confess I have been tempted – who doesn\’t like getting random books in the post? – But I\’ve always been a bit put off for the price. Because, as nice as it is to discover new authors, what happens if you\’re given a book you\’ve already read? It\’d be a waste!

So, when I saw Booxebby offering this sort of thing on Instagram, I decided to give them a try. As it\’s not a subscription based-product yet and could be ordered as a one-off to give it a go while supporting independent, small businesses. Couldn\’t say no to all that wholesome well-being stuff!

One Good Lie, the book that was sent in this box, sounds like the sort of read I\’d enjoy. I do like a good dose of drama, thriller and I\’m looking forward to reading it – always a bonus when you get a book, and, I\’ll be reviewing it individually when I get round to reading it.

It\’s somewhat hard to make out in the photograph, but I absolutely adore the little pin-badge that came in the box. \”The Book was Better\” on some pages of an open book – it\’s just so cute.

The sweets have already been eaten!

I\’d certainly order something like this again as it feels that need for a bit of a surprise in life while staying in the relative comfort of \’books.\’
