Monthly chocolate and book deliveries? You know where to send 'em.

Last January I set myself a few goals that I wanted to accomplish by the end of 2019. One of them being to run a 5k, (which thus far, I have not achieved), another being to read a book a month (which again, thus far, I have not achieved). Turns out I’m not so good at keeping resolutions. https://www.instagram.com/p/B34EDJWgFH0/ Couldn't have put it better myself guys. Though I’m shamefully far from my new year’s pledge to read 12 books this year, I think that the anticipation of a new monthly book delivery would certainly help get my bum in gear. Which is what The Book Resort does. A Waterford-based subscription box, they deliver a different book straight to your door every month. https://www.instagram.com/p/B44rH0RAALo/ Along with some Irish chocolate, because reading without chocolate is just no fun, and a small surprise. https://www.instagram.com/p/B4zofJOgGfX/ Book lovers can request certain Irish authors and opt for books from their favourite genres, including thriller, bestseller, fantasy, action or horror to name a few. Or if you prefer to live life a little on the wild side, you can choose the ‘surprise me’ option and leave the decision-making in someone else’s hands. https://www.instagram.com/p/B4hhkScgWtm/ Signing up for a monthly subscription will cost you €23 while a one-time gift box complete with a handwritten card is €25. Free nationwide delivery (including to Northern Ireland) Committed to buying from Irish suppliers, the company showcases up-and-coming locals, introducing them to a wider market. Support your own and all that. Described as “self-care for book lovers”, if that’s not a reason to invest in one of their book subscription boxes then I don’t know what is.
