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

Bout of Books Wrap Up (August 2023)

Well hello 2012! This is a throwback to the very old days of book blogging and to be quite honest, I absolutely love it. I just want to talk about books on the internet, you guys. This week I've been taking part in the Bout of Books readathon and sharing reading updates and some of my best book recs with people over on Instagram, but I thought it would be nice to do a little wrap up here, old school style. Books finished: 2 ( The Picts and the Martyrs by Arthur Ransome and Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins) Books started: Friendaholic by Elizabeth Day, Storyland by Amy Jeffs, 52 Ways to Walk by Annabel Abbs, Lola and the Boy Next Door by Stephanie Perkins Books continued (started before the start of the readathon and not finished by the end): The Greengage Summer by Rumer Godden, The Board Game Family by Ellie Dix, One Year's Time by Angela Milne Last week was a big, emotional week for me, with closing a business and doing all of the logistics involved in that, an
