Quite Literally Books ๐Ÿ˜❤️๐Ÿ“š✨

Omg, I found new books to love! ๐Ÿ˜ฑ

My current QLB book collection! Yay! Aren't they stunning?? ๐Ÿคฉ
As you know, I'm primarily (90%+) a vintage edition book lover.  I make an exception for my favorite UK book publishers such as Dean Street Press Ltd., The British Library (Women Writers and Crime Classics), Persephone Books, Girls Gone By Publishers and Grey Ladies

But, I simply could not resist buying Quite Literally Books' Summer Reading Bundle after reading book-savvy Simon's Stuck in a Book blog post!

Gorgeous wrapping of the books and bag! Stickers, red tissue paper and so perfect!
When I read QLB's Manifesto, I just KNEW in my heart that this was a publishing company that I needed to follow and support:

This bag is not only beautiful in design, but it's so well made! I love the fabric!

WHAT I LOVE ABOUT QUITE LITERALLY BOOKS:
❣️ 5๐ŸŒŸ Stories
❣️ Gorgeous graphic covers
❣️ French flaps
❣️ Easy-to-hold and flip through
❣️ Perfect-sized text (yay!)

For all lovers of republished books by American Women Authors —you definitely need to check out QLB! ๐Ÿฅฐ  

Two books I've read and loved! It's amazing having two editions of each!
My next read! I'm hoping Plum Bun is another 5 star read for me ๐Ÿ˜„

Although I'm not an expert on Quite Literally Books, I'm so excited to know more, read more and buy more of their books! How about you?

Please support this wonderful, women-owned NYC publishing company—the duo of Bremond and Lisa is ๐˜ข๐˜ฎ๐˜ข๐˜ป๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜จ!  ๐Ÿ’•๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿค—๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’•

It was so hard to open my QLB books...so beautifully wrapped! 

Look at all of these goodies! Card, pencil, book mark, stickers! ๐Ÿคฉ

Let me know in the comments if you’ve read any of these titles! Both The Home-Maker and The Pink House are 5๐ŸŒŸ reads for me! Plum Bun is next on my TBR! ๐Ÿฅฐ❣️

Loving my new red QLB book bag so much! ๐Ÿ˜

  1. So jealous of your new books and bookish goodies, Gina! I, of course, went on their website after Simon mentioned getting a copy of The Pink House. They look absolutely divine! And what lovely packaging!

    1. Thank you so much, Caro!! Quite Literally Books are even more lovely in person. The quality is really impressive and remind me so much of Persephone books. I can't wait to read Plum Bun! They do such an amazing job at the wrapping and packaging—it was like opening Christmas gifts! ๐Ÿ˜❤️
