Wow, another month has sped past us. We simply can’t keep up with…time. 2017 came… a few more months and we’re entering 2018… a… moment…a philosophical one. Let’s get talking about ‘The Book Case’ is in the house once again! Constant progress updates on their social media tabs… CHECK. Delivery time AMAZING… CHECK. Awesome bookish goodies… CHECK. This case was truly filled with Legendary Ladies. We had Hermione; Katniss; Feyre; A House Targaryen and then Mariko. What a powerhouse! I love the scented, natural soy candle. Hermione’s Enchantment was the theme of the candle. I loved the small 100g tin. It’s a fusion of marshmallow and caramelized pear – very nice smell and color. Not sure out of which cave I crawled, but this is my very first tinned scented candle I own. The hype over all the beautiful scented soy candles has certainly taken its rounds. I’m one of them fans! However, I would’ve loved it if the label had some colour…something was just missing. C’MON – give me some color!! Let’s talk about another cave dwelling moment… I’ve until this day not yet read any of the ‘Game of Thrones series’ books, nor have I watched the TV series either. Yes, Yes...okay. I’m only waiting for the next GOT novel instalment to arrive! Thank you for my ‘A House Targaryen’ coaster. Now I’ll go and buy me some Game of Thrones books to add to the collection. Who doesn’t want a Mockinjay key ring?? I really like the key ring, but it does have a very plastic feel to it. Something that can break easily. I do realize these kinds of merchandise can be quite expensive. I’m kind of 50/50 on this one. However, in the end…my son gave me those puppy googly eyes and begged me for it…how can a mother possibly say no? ME!! IT’S MINE! (okay, okay..sonny boy did receive it 😉) Continuing to the next item. I do own the ACOTAR trilogy…which is still on my TBR pile. Yes, I’m dragging it out as long as possible. I really like the ACOTAR Night Court sterling silver pendant necklace by Bee-autifully Yours. However, hubby already claimed the necklace. But it has inspired me even more to dive into the ACOTAR series. We received a ‘Flame in the Mist’ art print from Jonathan Ball publishers. Stunning art print! Gorgeous. It’s tucked safely into my book…which we’ll soon discuss. ‘Make a Wish’ bracelet by Bee-autifully Yours. I thoroughly enjoy these bracelets. They’re so pretty. I’ve actually been collecting these wish bracelets for my daughter. She’s 9-years-old. Last night this excitement over-flowed within me. I asked myself, why wait till she’s a bit older. Time truly never awaits anybody. Sooo…ding ding…And the wish bracelet goes to…Baby Feet! And now, for the goodie we’ve all been waiting for…WHAT’S THE BOOK ASHLEIGH…you would ask? ‘Flame in the Mist’ by Renee Ahdieh. I shamefully have to admit, I’ve never heard of this author or read any of her books for that matter. Immediately I ran to the laptop and googled her. I’m really intrigued by this story. Never have I read something like this. What makes this story even more special is the author’s personal letter we received with the book. She explains why she wrote this story and how the protagonist resembles herself. The cover is absolutely stunningly beautiful. Definitely a hard cover goody to be added to my book case. We received the soft cover which is also absolutely gorgeous…but yes…this one I want in hard cover format as well. Thank You The Book Case for delivering another AWESOME book case box!
