Curate: Inspiration for an Individual Home

Product Information

BlackLIT is a group looking to empower, motivate, and reaffirm communities who have been underrepresented and misrepresented in classroom literature, acquainting them with books that feel relevant and relatable. A relatively new one, the Books That Matter box is run by a team of women whose mission is to educate and enrich readers through exciting female fiction. Of course, if you’d rather choose from an all-you-can-eat buffet of book ideas, then you can fill your plate from prompts contests past.

The stunning artwork used on the custom book covers and all the Fairyloot gifts — including cutlery sets, pillow cases, mugs, and notebooks — really brings each world to life, making this box the perfect gift for any fantasy-obsessed reader. In either case, children’s book boxes can be a terrific way to inspire kids to read, or keep reading, while also introducing new titles.Each month you receive two books, from established literary giants such as James Baldwin to up-and-coming, contemporary authors. Each month, you’ll receive a new book and up to five individually wrapped gifts, each with a different page number printed on the wrapping. Thankfully, I was able to speak with four industry experts who offered me a novel’s worth of tips (as only expected). Cannery Row is my favorite novel of all time, and Sweet Thursday, the sequel, is right on its heels.

Every six to eight weeks, they send along the new books they’re most excited about, along with some other surprises. A book subscription service with a heart, Shelter Box offers a unique and compelling opportunity to do some good and read a great book at the same time. Some people want their book subscription boxes to keep them up-to-date with the hottest new releases; others are looking for a way to discover great books that would’ve otherwise passed them by. Yet none of the them quite capture the elusive, nigh-on-to magical appeal this story brings the young.It’s hard to focus in a time that doesn’t make sense, which is why I’ve found it easier to lose myself in fantasy these days—full of characters and situations that are meant to be magical, challenging, and stuffed with characters who struggle against the odds and succeed.

Created by a young bookworm who was working through a chronic illness and on the hunt for a decent book subscription for teens, each month will include a compelling YA novel as well as a few self-care items, such as bath products, tea and sweets.This service is particularly special because you know that each book has not only been tailored to your tastes but has been sourced and hand selected for you - it’s like receiving a thoughtful gift from a friend. The subscription will also give you access to the GozenGirls community - an online forum on which to discuss the latest release. To fight the spread of anti-Asian and anti-Chinese sentiment, try these recent novels (and one very readable nonfiction history). A version of Don Quixote in which the main character travels across the United States instead of Spain. The Balloon Tree is an artfully written and richly illustrated tale of a balloon-loving princess, Leora, who must thwart a coup by her evil uncle during her father’s absence, by sending out balloon signals to the King from the castle’s tower.

Here are a few books with plots and characters that will make you temporarily escape your apartment/family/fear. If you’re like me, you need a laugh or two to distract you from the waves of bad news, grim statistics, worry about supplies, so here are a few titles to give you a few grins while you wait out the COVID19 crisis. Every thirty days, a surprise bundle of gently used books (in the genre of your choice) will arrive at your door, helping you to grow an affordable library of undiscovered gems. Their range–the way that they could make me understand a world, a whole world, in a matter of lines.
