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.

A List of Cages

I was inspired by the February Bookish Box to read A List Of Cages by Robin Roe. There is an option to receive a book with the box and this was the book that was chosen for the month of February. While I did not receive a book with my box, the title was included with everything else that I received. I have not cried this much over a book in a long time. It is so heartbreaking. I think this story fit very well with the theme of friendship. Julian lost his parents when he was 8 or 9 and was put into foster care with Adam and his mother for 8 months. After that he was taken to a long lost uncle by marriage who was very abusive. Adam and Julian reconnect after Adam is asked by the school psychologist to hang out with him and find out why he is missing class. They end up building a beautiful friendship. Julian who does not feel worthy of anything finds a place among Adam's group. I feel like there were still a lot of loose ends at the ending but it ends on a hopeful note. The story end...

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.

Shift Your Thinking For Success

I read a lot of self-help/self-improvement books and often find myself disappointed when a book has the same message that I have read time and time again. Shift Your Thinking For Success: 77 Ways to Win at Work and in Life by Dean Del Sesto is a self-help book that stands out from the crowd . As the title implies, this book is split up into the 77 different tidbits of advice. These ideas range from healthy living to being successful in all parts of our life. What I love about this book is that the author gets personal with his message and is honest in the lessons that he has learned and how they have helped him. I found myself wanting to highlight multiple sections to check back on them when I am needing inspiration. One of the sections that really stood out to me was on the topic of integrity. In this section the author has a list of 25 different ways in which we can show integrity in our daily lives. Some of these ideas, such as showing respect to the clerk at the store, seem so ...
