I was so excited to be chosen as a book box rep for Novel Editions, a Canadian book box subscription company. Every month, Novel Editions sends a newly released best seller (released no longer than 6 months before shipment), along with 3 - 4 items that reflect the theme of that month. I was selected to be a rep from November 2017 - January 2018. Three months of amazing book box goodness shipped directly to my door. I could not be more thrilled or honoured. November's book box theme was Celebration, as it was the 1 year anniversary of Novel Editions. I was not disappointed! It was a fantastically curated box.

I have been talking about the Once Upon a Book Club book box since its inception, I have been ogling it and dreaming about being super rich so I could afford to buy the box each month. 

Well, my older sister purchased a young adult gift box for my birthday. It was such a different experience, so different from all of the other book boxes I have seen. Specifically, Once Upon a Book Club box features a newly released book and 4 or so gifts that you open on specific pages. The gifts are items on that page, to fully immerse you in the story. There are two options: Adult Fiction and Young Adult Fiction.

When we ventured to Elora for a Harry Potter themed tea, we were not expecting an amazing sculpture display. However, Elora was hosting Tim Murton's Twilight Zoo (read all about them here, and about the artist), a world of fantastically macabre wire and paper sculptures that are lit up at night. We were there during the day, but that did not take away from the creepiness of each piece. So wonderful, and interspersed throughout town to shock you from time to time. We really enjoyed happening upon these wickedly cool decorations, and even though my daughter was a little spooked, she too found them oddly amazing.

I am not sure if the sculptures are still up; but, if they are, I urge you to venture out to Elora to see these unforgettable pieces of art.
