Let customers speak for us
I couldn’t put this one down. It was my first purchase and I was very happy with it. Passed the whole box along to my mom who will also enjoy it, I hope!
This is a great goal sheet! It's really got me thinking when it comes to the book ideas.
I’m excited to read my book. It’s exactly what I needed.
I love the mystery book idea, and can't wait to read them.
I get one for my sister every Christmas! So fun
This contestant captivated me from the first page. It seduced me not only by words, but by sharing so much information of Southern culture, phrases and best of all, its love for food! I’ve read 1/3 of the book and can’t and don’t want to put it down even to sleep. Can’t believe is been only 24 hours since I opened my blind and speed date!
I really enjoyed this book and the surprises that went along with this one made my reading experience even more enjoyable by bringing the story to life! I ordered another box from the past because this was so much fun.
