When I found out about the lovely etsy shop, Darling Dear, I knew I had to share it with you! The shop owner Zie had the absolutely brilliant idea to put together a monthly subscription box for paper goods. I mean, this is like a stationery lover’s dream come true! For the reasonable price of $20/month, you can sign up to receive a surprise box of paper goodies or you can can get a bit of a discount by choosing the 3-month option for $54. In addition, my fellow blogger friend Kaitlyn (who has her own amazing stationery shop on Etsy) has contributed some of her products to the subscription boxes. If that doesn’t convince you of how awesome these boxes are, you can see some of the items received in the picture above or take a look at the general components of the boxes below!

This subscription service would be perfect for all my Correspondence Club members out there! Speaking of which, if you’d like to participate in the Correspondence Club for August, just send me your information anytime between now and July 31st!
![BOOKS I WANT TO READ BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There's a couple weeks left in 2022 and here's a few books that are on the top of my TBR this month (thank you @seekingdystopia for tagging me and thank you to the publishers tagged below for the free copies)! Check out the books on my list below:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
KISS HER ONCE FOR ME (via @atriabooks): This one I've actually finished already (✔️ for me!). I was in the mood for a holiday romance and this book was first up on my list.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
FIVE SURVIVE (via @getunderlined): I also finished this a couple days ago and this book kept me on my toes. So nice to read a thriller that was actually thrilling!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
PEOPLE PERSON: I freaking loved QUEENIE, so I was very excited when I heard that Candice Carty-Williams was coming out with a new book. And I love the UK edition of this book, which I picked up when I was in Australia a few months ago.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
AGE OF VICE (via @riverheadbooks, out 1/3): I was lucky enough to attend an event for this book a couple months ago and I finally started reading it this week. I'm not very far in, but I'm already intrigued by the story.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Have you read any of these? What books are you trying to read before the end of the year?

ooh I just signed up for this for August – I can’t wait to receive it. Looks great!
Ooo, awesome! Can’t wait to see what you get! :)
I haven’t heard of that
-new post at my blog ;)
Hi Sara! Mind leaving your blog link? I’d love to check it out! :)
what a great idea this would certainly promote letter writing! i love it!
Yes, I love that encourages letter-writing too! :)
This is such a great idea! I love the way it looks.
I agree Kirstin! The packaging looks so pretty :)
This is super cute…I love stationary and writing, so I’m a sucker for cute sets like this.

Me too! That’s why I couldn’t resist sharing this! :D
This is such a cool idea. I keep myself a little box of cards and envelopes I’ve bought on sale at different times at Target, so it’s a nice mix. But this is an even better idea!
That’s a great idea to have a stock of cards/envelopes at home- I need to do that too! :)
This is such a lovely idea. And who doesn’t love pretty stationary? I’m definitely saving this shop to check out later when I have some more time.

Agreed- pretty stationery makes me so happy! :)
