#bookmail !! About to dive into our LAST book in this swap! Where did the #steepedinstories time go?! 😥

I‘m intrigued by these tropical tea blends to accompany the latest read too!

Thanks so much for a fun swap ladies!
@drokka @TheKidUpstairs @BookishTrish

I know I‘ve enjoyed everything so far!

drokka I know, right?! I really enjoyed this tea carousel. And while I drink a lot of different teas, the number of options out there is just...wow! 6y
MPick It was such a great idea! Loved the variations on both teas and genres while still keeping us reeled in with a theme. Great great idea @TheKidUpstairs 6y

I often find myself frustrated with my reading speed - I've never been a quick reader but I can recall parts of books I've read long ago. I try to be thankful for this part of reading and try to enjoy every moment of it.

TheKidUpstairs It's all a trade-off. I read quickly, but forget details so easily. Hope you're still enjoying the book! 6y
Cinfhen I read a ton but don't remember half of it so I'd say you're in better shape 😊 6y
