Let customers speak for us
Great price! Loved the books, the special edition book was nice. I can't wait to read!
This robe is light and silky and feels so good on my skin. I love wearing it around the house almost all day every day
I was so excited to see this tote bag offered! I've been a long time subscriber of Once Upon a Book Club, and I love to share this great company with my friends as well as people on the street. This bag is well constructed, and the bag looks just like the book boxes! I can't wait to take this bag out and about around town!
Once upon a book club is amazing. Been purchasing for years and will never stop.
Love this book. Couldn’t put it down.
What a beautiful sturdy bag. Thank you for making this available.
I’ll say it again, when they have paperbacks their boxes are actually worth it because the gifts aren’t as cheap and unusable as many of the hardbacks. SPOILERY: if you don’t like old grandma floral scents there are items that won’t be for you - I’m not a fan but they’re pretty enough I’m not too made at it, just will replace one item and keep the other as display.
I absolutely loved this box! The gifts were amazing, I have put several items to good use already. The book is not something that I would have normally picked for myself, but I truly loved it! It’s one that will stick with you long after you’ve finished reading it.
I love everything about my new phone case. Looks amazing. Easy to carry around. Works with my wireless phone charger.
I got a new cell phone and lo and behold it did not fit my previous fold shut case. I asked my daughter where she got hers, and she directed me to your website. Wow! As an avid reader, I had trouble selecting a favorite! Ordered one at a fraction of the cost of my Michael Kors case, and absolutely love it! Quality crafted and perfect fit! Definitely will order another. Thank you! 🌿
This book was amazing. I read it in 4 days I couldn’t put it down. The gifts were perfect. Great job. Now to finally read my Jodi Picolt
The story grabs you from the start and explores inherited trauma and how this effects the women of the story. I enjoyed the writing but felt the women’s characters were not fully rounded. The stories do get you thinking😊. The gifts were perfect and added depth and enjoyment to the reading.
