Indie Book Advent Calendars

 When I closed Ninja Book Box, the Indie Book Advent Calendars I made were the one thing I couldn't let go of, so they've come with me! 


Order Your Book Advent Calendar

In them, you get a preloved book (in very good condition) for each week of December, personalised to your reading tastes, and published by an independent publisher. Each week you'll also get a gift parcel, including a gift or decoration that's either made by me, or by a brilliant small business, as well as one of my favourite festive recipes (tailored to your dietary requirements) and an Advent Tradition from around the world. As well as all that, you also have the chance to open your parcels along with me and other book lovers in our weekly Cosy Advent Lives on Instagram, and will receive a weekly email with festive activities, songs, movie suggestions and more. 

And if this wasn't enough... you can also choose your preferred level of festivity, as we know that some people love the festive season, and others are buying themselves or a friend this calendar as a distraction from what can be a tough time. So you can opt in or out of festive wrapping paper, extra emails, and any extra festive excitement, while still keeping the bookish goodness of the calendar itself. 

Oh, and also we make calendars for all ages, so you can get them for friends, kids, family members... basically anyone you'd like to treat to a wonderful, bookish December. 

Finally, all of the profits from this advent calendar now go to support our events over at Bookshop Crawl UK

If you've had our calendars in the past and want to send me some lovely feedback that I can use to show people how great they are, please email ninjabookbox@gmail.com

My Book of Revelations by Iain Hood (Blog Tour Exerpt)

Today is my stop on the blog tour for My Book of Revelations by Iain Hood, published by the excellent Renard Press. As life has been manic with upcoming bookshop crawl things and I haven't finished a book in weeks, I'm going to be sharing an excerpt from the book with you today! Here is a quick synopsis of the book before you start, and because nothing is going the way it's meant to at the moment, all the lovely formatting of the excerpt has been lost in the translation to blogger, so really I just recommend you go and buy the book asap so you can read it as the author and publisher intended!  The countdown to the millennium has begun, and people are losing their heads. A so-called Y2K expert gives a presentation to Scotland’s eccentric Tech Laird T.S. Mole’s entourage in Edinburgh, and soon long hours, days, weeks and months fill with seemingly chaotic and frantic work on the ‘bug problem’. Soon enough it’ll be just minutes and seconds to go to midnight. Is the world abou...

My Persephone Reading List

Many years ago when I first started book blogging, I joined The Classics Club in order to try to read more classics. Lately I've been thinking about rejoining, but I actually don't have many classics left that I'm really keen to read, so I decided that a better use of my time would be to try to read all of the books published by Persephone! If you're not familiar, Persephone Books are an independent publisher based in Bath who publish mostly forgotten women writers mostly from the inter war period, with some exceptions. They publish books of all genres, and I've never read a Persephone I didn't love. I'll share the list of their books here, with updates on which I've read and which I own, and I'd love anyone who wants to to join in as well. * = books I own, bold is books that I've read. List of Persephone Books 1: William – an Englishman by Cicely Hamilton * 2: Mariana by Monica Dickens 3: Someone at a Distance by Dorothy Whipple 4: Fidelity by ...

Why Adults Need Advent Calendars Too!

This is a re-post from the old Ninja Book Box blog, but a subject I still feel very, very strongly about and so I thought it was worth sharing again! Everyone who wants one should feel 'allowed' to have an Indie Book Advent Calendar, for goodness sake.  Recently, I made a quick video about my thoughts on hearing a woman tell her grown up child that she was 'too old for an advent calendar now', and as I'm trying to post more regularly on this blog it seemed like a brilliant chance to expand my thoughts. Here is why you are never too old for an advent calendar... The whole festive season often gets harder as we get older, for a multitude of reasons. Personally, this year brings a whole new set of adjustments from our usual 'one year in Kent, one year in London with the grandparents' rules, as our extended family grows and includes an international contingent as well as many more grandchildren for my parents to divide their time between. A good thing of course,...
