Quite Literally Books 😍❤️📚✨

Omg, I found new books to love! 😱

My current QLB book collection! Yay! Aren't they stunning?? 🤩
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:

    “𝘞𝘩𝘺 𝘣𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘣𝘢𝘤𝘬 𝘢 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘨𝘰𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘯 𝘣𝘰𝘰𝘬 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘴𝘰 𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘺 𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘥 𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘴 𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘴𝘰 𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘭𝘦 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮 𝘢𝘭𝘭? 𝘞𝘦𝘭𝘭, 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘴, 𝘸𝘦 𝘥𝘰𝘯’𝘵 𝘣𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘷𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘰𝘰 𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘺 𝘣𝘰𝘰𝘬𝘴, 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘵𝘰𝘰 𝘧𝘦𝘸 𝘣𝘰𝘰𝘬𝘴𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘷𝘦𝘴.

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:
❣️ 5🌟 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! 🥰  

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 😄

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 𝘢𝘮𝘢𝘻𝘪𝘯𝘨!  💕🌸🤗🌸💕

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

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

Let me know in the comments if you’ve read any of these titles! Both The Home-Maker and The Pink House are 5🌟 reads for me! Plum Bun is next on my TBR! 🥰❣️

Loving my new red QLB book bag so much! 😍

  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! 😍❤️
