Hey First name / friends,

 

Happy New Year! We hope 2026 has started off wonderfully for you ✨

 

We have a few important updates to share, including details about our upcoming Monthly Book Club sale featuring Under Your Scars by Ariel N. Anderson, as well as some key general and shipping updates regarding Medicine Man and our 2025 Christmas Box. If you purchased one or both of these, please be sure to read on.

ICYMI: We’re excited to announce that our January Monthly Book Club will feature Under Your Scars by Ariel N. Anderson!

Due to the incredible response to this book, we’ve made the decision to increase our initial stock so we can better meet demand. Because of this, the original estimated shipping date has shifted. Our printer now anticipates the books arriving to us between February 23–28, 2026, which coincides with our February Monthly Book Club featured title.

 

This box will be available on a first-come, first-served basis through our waitlist. Waitlist invitations will begin going out on January 3, 2026 at 10:00 AM CST. Once you are off the waitlist, you will receive an email invite from us, so please be sure to keep an eye on your inbox as well as your spam or promotions folders, just in case.

We come bearing good news and bad news.

 

Medicine Man: The Good News
We’re thrilled to let you know that Medicine Man has finally started arriving! All orders have been pre-packed, and we’ve already begun purchasing shipping labels. We’re just waiting on a few remaining boxes, including stickers and art prints, before sending everything out. 

 

Thank you for your continued patience and kindness. We know the wait has been longer than expected, and we truly appreciate it. We can’t wait for you to get your hands on these books. They’ve turned out even better than we hoped. For sneak peeks, feel free to join our Facebook Group!

 

2025 Christmas Box: The Bad News
Unfortunately, when our 2025 Christmas Boxes began arriving in late December, we discovered a major issue with the covers on all three books. The printer accidentally left the white template borders on the front and back covers for all three titles thinking they we're part of the design (see example below). We were shocked and deeply disappointed when we saw this. This was never intended to be part of the design and does not reflect the quality we promised you.

We have been working closely with the printer over the past week to resolve this issue. The Perfect Gift and Christmas at Fox Ridge will be reprinted at no cost to you. Unfortunately, the printer will not allow a reprint of A Pack for Winter at this time, so these will be kept as is. To make up for this mistake, we would love your input on how we can best address this inconvenience. If you purchased this box, please fill out the Google form below so we can provide the solution that works best for you.

 

What does this mean for the shipping timeline? We want to be completely honest with you. Due to unforeseen personal circumstances, the owner, Kirstie, will be away for a couple of weeks to manage the recent passing of her father. At the same time, the printer requires 2–3 additional weeks + shipping to correct the cover issue. As a result, packing and shipping of the boxes will begin once Kirstie and her team return in February.

 

We were genuinely excited to begin sending these out to you, and we share your frustration and disappointment over this setback. We sincerely thank you for your patience and understanding as we work to make this right.
