Hi Janice and Kristen aka @theuniquelybookishbox !.
.
I'm SO excited to enter your rep search. I absolutely adore your aesthetic, the book selections, the carefully curated items I've seen in unboxing videos and on your page. 😍. .
I suppose you want to know a bit about me though haha. Well I'm a 33yo working mom of 2 little ones plus second choice lap to a furry feline. She prefers my husband's company, despite my efforts to win her over. I'm an avid reader, devouring a book a week. My favourite genres are historical fiction, literary fiction, classic and horror. And really any story with strange families in it. I'm drawn to them for some reason 🤔. Oh! And I'm located in Alberta Canada 🇨🇦.
.
Anyways, I would absolutely love repping for you. My top position would be Rep but I'd be equally as proud to support you as an Influencer.
.
I've held rep positions at several Canadian book box companies (Sweet Reads and Callisto Crate) and I have to say I love supporting great, bookish Canadian businesses just like yours.

Thanks so much for the opportunity!
I think @onsamsbookshelf and @hayleys.book.stop would be great on the team as well 🖤.

I absolutely love when a book has the most bizarre title. I'll honestly almost always pick it up, even if only to read the synopsis on the back. Thanks @harperperennial for my gifted copy of this one!.

What are some creative titles you've seen?.
.

.

.
We'll THAT'S creepy 😳.
.
.
And if you're interested, here's the synopsis for this novel (out in March):.
.
In the town of Night Vale, there’s a faceless old woman who secretly lives in everyone’s home, but no one knows how she got there or where she came from...until now. Told in a series of eerie flashbacks, the story of The Faceless Old Woman goes back centuries to reveal an initially blissful and then tragic childhood on a Mediterranean Estate in the early nineteenth century, her rise in the criminal underworld of Europe, a nautical adventure with a mysterious organization of smugglers, her plot for revenge on the ones who betrayed her, and ultimately her death and its aftermath, as her spirit travels the world for decades until settling in modern-day Night Vale.
Interspersed throughout is a present-day story in Night Vale, as The Faceless Old Woman guides, haunts, and sabotages a man named Craig. In the end, her current day dealings with Craig and her swashbuckling history in nineteenth century Europe will come together in the most unexpected and horrifying way.
Part The Haunting of Hill House, part The Count of Monte Cristo, and 100% about a faceless old woman who secretly lives in your home..

What was the last book gifted to you?.
.
I received this one recently from a co-worker and I'm really looking forward to reading it. It's been on my list for some time!!.
.
Here's the synopsis: As a child, Amanda Lindhout escaped a violent household by paging through issues of National Geographic and imagining herself in its exotic locales. At the age of nineteen, working as a cocktail waitress in Calgary, Alberta, she began saving her tips so she could travel the globe. Aspiring to understand the world and live a significant life, she backpacked through Latin America, Laos, Bangladesh, and India, and emboldened by each adventure, went on to Sudan, Syria, and Pakistan. In war-ridden Afghanistan and Iraq she carved out a fledgling career as a television reporter. And then, in August 2008, she traveled to Somalia—“the most dangerous place on earth.” On her fourth day, she was abducted by a group of masked men along a dusty road.
Held hostage for 460 days, Amanda converts to Islam as a survival tactic, receives “wife lessons” from one of her captors, and risks a daring escape. Moved between a series of abandoned houses in the desert, she survives on memory—every lush detail of the world she experienced in her life before captivity—and on strategy, fortitude, and hope. When she is most desperate, she visits a house in the sky, high above the woman kept in chains, in the dark, being tortured.
Vivid and suspenseful, as artfully written as the finest novel, A House in the Sky is the searingly intimate story of an intrepid young woman and her search for compassion in the face of unimaginable adversity.
