March 2017 Bookish Box Review

I received my March Bookish Box. This is always exciting for me because they have such awesome products every month. This month the theme was sidekicks. Here is a picture of all of my awesome loot:

My favorite items out of the box are the Sherlock socks which I am actually wearing right now and the Java Jones candle. The socks are from Out of Print and they are so comfy. While I love the socks, it would have been great to have something Watson themed to go with the theme of the box. The candle is from Cherry Pit Crafts and smells amazing. This is based on Simon from the Mortal Instruments Series. I received some butterbeer bath salts from Cherry Pit Crafts last year and they smell amazing as well. They have a lot of really neat products that I am definitely putting on a wish list.

The tote bag in the upper right of the picture is a quote from Marlee Tames of the Selection series. This box inspired me to read the series and I devoured it in a few days. I will share my review soon.

The shirt is a Samwise Gamgee quote from Lord of the Rings. I have not read Lord of the Rings and did not see it included as inspiration for this box so I was a little surprised. I will set this one to the side for a while and decide if I want to read the book so I can wear the shirt. Because I would feel weird if I couldn't explain it and someone came up and asked me about it. Maybe I'm just a little weird or paranoid.

The oh my stars picture was done by Lexy Olivia who has been doing all of the beautiful bookmarks that come with most of the boxes. This is really pretty and was inspired by the Lunar Chronicles that I also have not read. This series however is on the list to be read.

I think this was another great box. Ok, well I do feel like I am forced to read the Lord of the Rings now though and I am not sure how I feel about that but I have been told that it is great so I am sure I will cave.

Driftwood Bay

Driftwood Bay by Irene Hannon is a sweet and inspirational story. This is part of the Hope Harbor series but is the first one that I have read. I feel that this makes a good stand alone book but found myself becoming curious about the side characters in the story and would love to read the others in the series. Jeannette has created a new life for herself in the town of Hope Harbor. She owns a lavender farm and tea shop and spends most of her time alone. Her quiet world is shaken up when Logan moves in next door. Not only does he have a little girl, but also a trouble making dog that force their worlds to collide. Alongside the story of Jeannette and Logan is a beautiful and heartbreaking story of a family that has escaped persecution in Syria. Everyone in the story has their own heartbreak, but they all come together to create a new life and new relationships. I really enjoyed this book and look forward to reading more books from Irene Hannon.

Zen Camera

Photography is one of my hobbies so I always jump at the chance to check out new books on the topic. Zen Camera: Creative Awakening With a Daily Practice in Photograph y by David Ulrich uses Zen principles to teach people how to take better photographs. It also teaches an important lesson in today's busy world which is to slow down and take in our surroundings.  Zen Camera is split into six different lessons. My favorite part of these lessons is that at the end of each one is a tip that can be applied or something that the reader should go out and try. I have been interested in photography for quite a while and have read many books on the topic but I felt that this book had a fresh approach to photography.  Zen Camera is good for anyone starting out and using the camera on their phone or for more advanced photographers that are looking for inspiration. The book is full of gorgeous images and practical advice.  I received this book from Blogging for Books for this ...

February 2017 Bookish Box Review

I received my February Bookish Box today! The theme this month was galentines day so the box focused on literary friendships. Inside the box were best book friend pins from Jar of Buttons. A mug with a quote from the Raven cycle series from Drop & Give Me Nerdy. A really cute Fangirl nerd necklace from Appraising Pages.  Also, a bookmark with an Anne of Green Gables quote from Lexy Olivia . There has been a bookmark in every box I have received from this shop and they are all beautiful!  My favorite item in the box was the shirt with the quote from The Perks of Being a Wallflower from Appraising Pages. This was my favorite book in high school and I am psyched to have it on a shirt. I will wear it proudly with my nerdy necklace. I really loved all of the items this month. It all fit very well with the theme and included items from some of my favorite books. I have loved all of the boxes that I have received and have yet to be disappointed. The Marc...
