BOOKISHLY VINTAGE PAPERBACK REVIEW

Those of you that know me, know I am a bookworm. For a fortnight a year, I go to a festival dedicated to books and sit in a tent and read. When I packed up my uni room, I filled two large suitcases with books and still had to carry extras. I love books.
So when it was my birthday back in May (19th, mark your calendars for next year, kids!), my parents got me a subscription to Bookishly. Every month, I get a surprise vintage paperback, some tea and stationery and basically it is an accumulation of everything I love in life.
I've gone through two months so far, and yesterday, the third came through the letterbox so I thought it'd be nice to share!

I love Graham Greene books and getting The Quiet American as my mystery novel was right up my street, down my alley and right round my hedges(?)
The tea of the month was Rose Congou Superior and it's a flavoured black tea. Drinking it is a bit like drinking reeeeeally weak English Breakfast tea with no milk, so a little weird but pleasant enough.
And this month's stationery was a selection of greetings cards. A birthday one, a romantic-y one with Romeo and Juliet quotes in the shape of a rose - A ROSE BY ANY OTHER NAME ANYONE?, and one that says Thinking of You which is cute I suppose if you're a romantic and like other people.
See, told you that biting misanthropy wasn't too far away.
Read any good books lately?
Cheerio,
Hope x
