Hello! Today’s video is a book unboxing from one of my all-time-favorite stores—The Ripped Bodice. Since their brick and mortar store is closed for the time being, they are offering a care package option where you can pick some books (or be surprised by the store’s expert-level recommendations). I ordered one right away. HIGHLY recommend the experience. This is the most fun I’ve had filming a video yet, and I know it’s because of The Ripped Bodice. Check them out below if you’re interested!
Also, if you know of any other small bookish businesses that could use some love, let me know down in the comments!
