May Wrap-Up

Guys I suck. Seriously.

I never got my monthly giveaway up, so I really suck. This means that this month, I will be doing two giveaways. One will be for USA people, one will be for international people. Gotta make up for it, right? Honestly, my sister just moved to the area a couple weeks ago, and we've been doing a lot of work, getting her moved, cleaning and fixing up her house to sell... It's been a process. So I truly just haven't had much time to do anything.

Well, I may as well get into the month.

Witches and Matchmakers May Box

This is a brand new box. May was the first month for it, and I was so excited to get it from the very start. I subscribed using a single-time purchase, and I couldn't have been happier.

Review and Unboxing: To the Stars Who Listen Box

Greetings! I just got in my first subscription box from Book and Nook. I've ordered candles from them before, but this was their first monthly box. And because of what the theme was for May, I absolutely had to order!

If you hadn't guessed by the title of the post, it was ACOTAR/ACOMAF themed, all because of the release of ACOMAF!

So if you've ordered this and it hasn't arrived yet, ye have been forewarned.
