Got another Blind Date with a Book Box! This one is from Emotional Girl Co on tiktok. This came with so many cute goodies! I absolutely love the self care items. Peep that glass! I love the sour hearts and how it matches both the tote bag and the little pouch.

I went with Dark Romance. I forgot to include my goodreads, but I still got a book I didn't have! This one has been on my tbr for a while! I've heard such great things about it.

Has anyone read it? Did you enjoy the series? 🫣 I'm sacred to admit it; but this will be the first Penelope Douglas book I own or have even read 😅
