Book Haul/// Puffin Bloom Boxset- A Very Special Book Haul to Celebrate 4 Years of Book-Blogging!

Hello!!!

Today I want to share a very, very special book haul.

This June marks 4 years since I started this blog of mine.

And I thought it would be fitting to mark this anniversary or blogaversary with a little bit of celebration.

My sister pretty much read my mind and got me this gorgeous, gorgeous boxset to help celebrate my book blog.

😀

Welcome Puffin Bloom Boxset to my life and bookshelf!
😀

I cannot tell you how much I love this beautiful boxset.

I've had my eyes on it since little sneak peeks were being released before it was even released.

If you didn't know I am madly in love with all things Rifle Paper Co. I love their stationery and their aesthetic is life.

I own notebooks by them and I am even considering getting a planner from them next year.

I love, LOVE their art style and when these books came out I was so smitten.

😍😍😍

Yet I didn't buy them right away.

Why?

Well I already owned copies of 2 out of 4 books.

And I had read 2 of these books already.

So I felt a little guilty for wanting it.

But...this boxset was calling out to me.

I kept it in my wish-list for years.

And finally my sister put me out of my misery and got me these beautiful books.

😊

Thanks Boo, you are the best sister ever!

Isn't it a thing of beauty?!

I am going to haul each book individually because something this gorgeous deserves every bit of attention and care.

The books in the boxset//

Little Women by Louise May Alcott

Heidi by Johanna Spyri

The Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett

Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery

I got my books from Amazon for a pretty good deal.

Happy Reading folks.

And thank-you so much for the love and support you've shown my blog over the last 4 years!
