My #Bookstock haul from today. I tried to rein it in... but you know how it goes. My Fitzgerald collection gained a few new members to the shelf today. Well worth getting up at 6am for the trip!

The Diabolic | S. J. Kincaid

Pickpick

The Diabolic is brutal and forceful. Both of these characteristics are needed though to tell the story of Nemesis. She is a violent force to be reckoned with and some of her actions are a bit gruesome but I found myself liking her. There is a lot of death 💀 and a bit more blood and gore than I normally want in my books but I can overlook it. Hopefully you can too!

My first Once Upon a Book Club box! It comes with a handful of packages that coordinate with the story, so you open each one when you get to the corresponding page! Isn't that the best idea?

Jhullie I very nearly subscribed to this one but chose the Bookish Box instead. Let me know how you go with it please 📘🎁 8y
Reviewsbylola Very nice presentation! 😍 8y
MaleficentBookDragon This club sounds so cool. I just ordered a box to try out as a birthday present for myself. I'm excited to get it! 8y

Donna_sBookMinute Oh, now I get it! What a novel ? concept. Such a cute idea. But I have read posts saying some of the contents weren't "worth it." I'm gonna still check it out, though -- because who doesn't like opening surprises? 8y
Donna_sBookMinute Okay, I'm back. I visited the website and read a blog review. Like I said before, it's a really cute idea. But when I weigh how many books (of my choosing) I can have for $34.99 💳each and every month -- I don't part 💸with my hard-earned money that easily. I already have a problem with clutter 🛡🕯📿🗝and don't need to be a part of something that will only add to it. And do members vote on upcoming titles, or does the entity select titles? 8y
BraveNewBooks @Donna_sBookMinute I hear you! I had similar concerns, so I did a one-month thing to try it rather than a subscription. What I learned was that I got a huge kick out of the items coordinating with the story, even if they aren't things I'll keep. Would you like to give it a whirl? I could rewrap the items and send this one your way if you wanted, for like $15 or so to cover shipping? That way you could see if it's enjoyable for you. 8y
Donna_sBookMinute @BraveNewBooks, it sounds like it could be fun with a title I was already planning to read and if I could opt out of books that don't appeal to me. Thanks for your generous offer, though. 😊 8y
