Given how much I love the Home Chef cooking box and I have been getting Kitnip boxes for 3 years, why has it taken so long for me to sign up for a bookish book? Probably because I tend to only buy books from authors that I already know and always love. I tend to try new authors via the library or lucky cheap finds at book sales and used book stores.
Why I chose Page Habit Quarterly: The monthly book selection is annotated by the author to provide a unique and deeper reading experience. Exclusive to the quarterly box, the author also selects two of his/her favorite or inspiration books. Several bookish goodies complete the package and Page Habit makes a donation to support world literacy.
Quarterly boxes are available for the following genres: Literary Fiction, Young Adult and Cookbook. The monthly boxes also offer Mystery, Historical Fiction, Science Fiction, Fantasy, Horror, and Romance. I chose Young Adult for my first quarterly box because I figured the odds were higher that I would get something I liked. Literary Fiction is just too wide open and it is the genre I read least.
I had lots of help from the kitties. They are purrfessional unboxers having so much experience with Kitnip boxes. They were a bit disappointed with the lack of catnip but still had a good time.
This donation this quarter will go to Kenya and the card provides literacy statistics about the country.
Book mark with a bookish quotation. The print echoes the print on the Kenya card which is just as like to be used as a bookmark by me too.
Faux wood stacking tin. Not sure yet what I will use it for - tea bags, office supplies, earrings?
SKY IN THE DEEP by Adrienne Young is YA Fantasy and the Page Habit synopsis describes it as "part Wonder Woman, part Viking". Good Reads shows a solid 4 star rating and Amazon 4 1/2.
The annotations are on sticky notes so they can easily be moved/removed. I am excited to read this with the author's insights.
This is the first extra book selected by the author and it definitely grabs my attention. I love the cover and it sounds like a great adventure in a fantasy world where reading is unheard of. A young girl sets out on a fantastic adventure to rescue her kidnapped aunt with only this strange rectangular relic to guide her. Oh yeah, and there are pirates!
This is the second author selected book and how I know I chose the right genre for me and I am going to love the other books. I already know and love I Capture The Castle and the copy I own is the movie version paper back cover. Guess what? That one is going to a book sale because I much prefer hardback and I love this cover!
Cute bookish pin

Last but not least, the letter from the author.
