 As 2023 comes to a close, I really wanted to talk about one of my most favorite subscription boxes.  I have to admit, as a mom, I tend to spend all of my money on my kids... and other loved ones... and rarely on me.  Every now and then I take a chance and order a subscription box for myself.  It ends up being a fun treat, since I don't know what is in there and it is like little surprises for me!   To be honest, several of them were major let downs.

So more about Once Upon a Book Club -  You get an awesome box in the mail and open up to a world of wonderful gifts!  Like I said, I was able to get The Lost Tickey by Freya Sampson.  To be honest, I was worried it would be one that had me in tears-  London (bucket list for me), a love story ...

Okay y'all, let me just tell you...  If you know me, you KNOW I very rarely spend money on myself.  I am not one to go and buy myself new clothes / shoes or items just because.  I spend my money on my kiddos!  Especially when it comes to the holidays!  I have had my eye on ONCE UPON A BOOKCLUB since the first time it crossed my feed, but I knew I would not be trying it, since that would mean spending money on ME instead of THEM.   I was so excited when I got the opportunity to review one and let me just say... I have told everyone I cross paths with about this, so now it is time to tell you guys!   FTC Compliant Review Policy:    The product(s) featured in this review were provided free of cost to me by the manufacturer or representing PR agency for the sole purpose of product testing.
