I did a roll call of all the books we have had in our Book Subscription Boxes over the last 3 years over on Instagram and seeing them all together really put a lump in my throat.
It was a love of books and sharing chatting about them with others who felt the same, that planted the tiny seed of The Boozy Book Club in my head ( a simple wee dream). Then thinking "Would the authors actually want to join in too?' - Oh my!!! Did they???
Our author Roll Call is so impressive, as have been their books - that's the only condition of going in the box. I have to have read and loved it, so that the desire to share and then chat about it is strong, along with the inspiration for the matching gifts and cocktail!
Who would have thought I'd still be here, doing something that I love sooooo much with the best book club members ever - the ones who have joined us and joined in over the years, some from the very beginning. None of it would work without you and I am so so grateful.
This list is so great because of you and because of all our brilliant authors and their books too.
