Me Time in the Mail with a Sweet Reads Box Subscription

Complimentary Sweet Reads Box subscription was provided for reviewing purposes. All opinions are my own.


 

Let’s face it, finding time for yourself is tough. As mom’s we are so good at putting everyone else first and if, IF, there is any time left over we wonder what to do with it. A Sweet Reads Box subscription is one of the best ways to solve this problem, because a new box comes each and every month reminding us to take the time to relax.

When life gets busy or even if I find myself wasting that me time I get on my phone, when a new box arrives in the mail and I’m not even halfway through last month’s book, I really spend the next few weeks putting the focus back where it needs to be.

What is a Sweet Reads Box Subscription?

 

Sweet Reads Box is a Canadian monthly subscription box for book lovers. You can choose to order one or set up a 3 or 6 month subscription so they automatically arrive each month and that’s what I recommend doing.

So the book chosen for September was When We Found Home by Susan Mallery

About When We Found Home

Life is meant to be savored, but that’s not easy with no family, limited prospects and a past you’d rather not talk about. Still, Callie Smith doesn’t know how to feel when she discovers she has a brother and a sister—Malcolm, who grew up with affection, wealth and privilege, and Keira, a streetwise twelve-year-old. Callie doesn’t love being alone, but at least it’s safe. Despite her trepidation, she moves into the grand family home with her siblings and grandfather on the shores of Lake Washington, hoping just maybe this will be the start of a whole new life.

But starting over can be messy. Callie and Keira fit in with each other, but not with their posh new lifestyle, leaving Malcolm feeling like the odd man out in his own home. He was clever enough to turn a sleepy Seattle mail-order food catalog into an online gourmet powerhouse, yet he can’t figure out how to help his new sisters feel secure. Becoming a family will take patience, humor, a little bit of wine and a whole lot of love. But love isn’t Malcolm’s strong suit…until a beautiful barista teaches him that an open heart, like the family table, can always make room for more.

In this emotional, funny and heartfelt story, Susan Mallery masterfully explores the definition of a modern family—blended by surprise, not by choice—and how those complicated relationships can add unexpected richness to life.
