Experience the 2025 12 Days of Book-Club-Mas Advent Calendar from Once Upon a Book Club!

Our Advent Calendar recipients will receive an anthology of about 400 pages featuring 12 short stories (each ~20 pages long) featuring one of the 12 gifts. Each story is written by a different author who wrote these tales specifically to bring our selected gifts to life! As you read each short story, you'll be prompted at key moments within them to open the corresponding gift for the day. These gifts are all incredibly useful, beautiful items, perfect for the bookworm in all of us! These gifts are not Christmas themed (only the wrapping is wintery to match the season!) and each item can be used and enjoyed year-round.

Each book box will include a custom and exclusive book of 12 short stories that can only be found in our box, along with 12 beautiful gifts (one for each story!).

This box has a value of over $400! 

As usual, this year's box will feature four days where the wrapped gifts will be full-length, published novels. Please note that Adult and Young Adult will include different novels on these four days. The other eight days of gifts will be the same in both boxes, so please bear in mind that only the books are different in each box. We will have extra books from both the Adult and Young Adult boxes available for individual purchase in January for those of you who do not want a duplicate set of the other eight gifts.

This year's novella includes short stories written by Kyle Ann Robertson, Kylie Minton, Kristin Kisska, Myra Scott, Jasmine Kuliasha, Megan LaCroix, Ella Dupuie, Cate Collins, Sherilyn M. Reyes, Jenna Yun, Kelsey Hebert, and Sophie Sullivan.
