Bundles of Books
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I get a specific title, author, or genre in my bundle?
​
Each bundle of books is arranged according to genre or as assorted "grab bags" that feature a range of genres. Because we acquire our books from local bookstores, thrift stores, garage sales, etc., we can't guarantee any specific title, genre, or author will be in stock, but our stock is constantly updating, so you will always have an opportunity to find new books and authors in your bundles! If you are looking for a specific genre, then we recommended keeping an eye out for our different genre-specific bundles. While we don't accept specific personalized orders, all of our bundles are unique and able to fit any of your reading needs!
How often do you create new bundles?
​
As often as we can! In our free time, we peruse local bookstores, thrift stores, markets, online shops, anywhere we can find books. Once we have enough books to either make a genre-specific bundle or a "grab bag" bundle, we group them together and work as quickly as we can to upload them to our shop and our website. We try to put out new listings at least once a week!
Gift wrapping and packaging
​
Every bundle is packaged with care and precision with the goal of keeping the element of surprise until the very last moment. In each bundle, there is a "Fast Fun Facts" sheet that gives simple details (with no spoilers, of course) about the different books included in your bundle; details include, but aren't limited to, the genre(s) of the books, the publication years, any awards/honors the book or author may have received, and the book's rating on Goodreads.

What kinds of books do the bundles consist of?
​
The bundles consist of books that range across several different genres and authors. In the genre-specific bundles, the books all share one or more genres with each other. In the "grab bag" bundles, books may share a genre or two with one another, but their main genres will be different in order to maintain the assorted nature of the bundle. Because we find our books at local bookstores, thrift shops. garage sales, online shops, etc., all of our bundles may include a mixture of new and gently used books. This may include, but is not limited to, light wear and tear of the spine, bent pages, and chipped covers.
How does this shop comply with CDC guidelines and help protect against the pandemic?
​
In order to do our best to protect our customers during this pandemic, ALL of our books are thoroughly sanitized (especially the covers and spines) before we bundle and package them, and we encourage everyone to sanitize them again before reading or allowing children to handle them. If we do anything outside of bundling or packaging bundles, we are sure to constantly wash our hands before and after handling your bundles to help limit the spread through touching shared surfaces.
Do you have any specials for the bundles?
​
We are including a gift bag in each bundle in the case that the bundle is being bought as a present for someone so that you can easily transfer the wrapped books from the box into a gift bag at your convenience! The packaging will be as it usually is; that is, all of the books are wrapped in order to maintain the surprise until the last possible second, and the buyer will also receive a "Fast Fun Fact" sheet about the bundle's contents. If you would like a special message attached within the bundle if this is a gift, send us a message directly after you place your order, and it will be included with your bundle. In the DM, please include:
-Your Name
-Name of Your Bundle
-Your Message

When making your order, be sure to include a note or a message with the 1-3 different genres you would like to see appear in your Grab Bag Bundle. This is important so that we know which genre(s) to include in your "Grab Bag."
