The Book Drop July 2020

I'm just going to do a bunch of unboxings until work calms down. It's been a bit hectic. 

I'm almost caught up on Watch What Crappens Podcast and finishing the Aurora Teagarden series. 

I have to be honest, I think I'm a little off with The Book Drop unboxing. I just opened (and photographed) Septembers box (at the end of August) but I'm constantly worried that I've mis-labeled the photos when I upload them. Even with the included materials. It's nonsense. I'm pretty sure this is July's unboxing (as it does say July).

The Book Drop is a newer subscription (to me) and I've switched from the literary (tea) to the romance/friendship (champagne?). I might switch again but right now it's working. It's a subscription of newly released paperbacks from an indie bookstore in Delaware called Bethany Beach Books. 

Other than the book, we get the Indie Next List pamphlet, which I used to browse when I was in my local indie, so that's always welcomed. We also get a bookmark, a postcard (from TBD explaining the book), and sometimes other goodies. I really like the author inclusions but I realize not every author can get to it, so I consider it just a fun bonus. 

uI believe this month's book featured more friendship focus than romance...but I haven't read it. I know, I'm just behind in general and then accidentally went on a spree in the bookstore. I've got about thirty books to log into goodreads. But my TBR list has grown...

​Villa Dolce Vita, a rambling stone house on the Amalfi Coast, sits high above the Gulf of Naples amid dappled lemon groves and fragrant, tumbling bougainvillea. Kim, Colette and Annie all came to the villa in need of escape and in the process forged an unlikely friendship.

Now, years later, Kim has transformed the crumbling house into a luxury retreat and has invited her friends back for the summer to celebrate.

But as friendships are rekindled under the Italian sun, secrets buried in the past will come to light, and not everyone is happy that the three friends are reuniting… Each woman will have things to face up to if they are all to find true happiness and fully embrace the sweet life.
