PRE-ORDER | 24 Days of Bookish Christmas: An Advent Calendar

24 days. 9 books. 15 bookish surprises. One very cozy December. 📚🎄

Make the countdown to Christmas a little more bookish.

The 24 Days of Bookish Indulgence Advent Calendar is packed with 24 individually wrapped surprises curated for romance readers. Behind every day is something new to unwrap - from full-size physical books and ebooks to exclusive bookish accessories, reading-night essentials, and Shelf Indulgence goodies.

And yes, there are actual books. Lots of them.

WHAT’S INSIDE?

Every calendar includes 24 individually numbered surprises, including:

• 5 full-size physical books
• 4 ebooks
• 15 bookish gifts & reading accessories

Bookish surprises may include bookmarks, annotation supplies, stickers, Kindle accessories, reading journals, bookish apparel, totes, ornaments, pins, cozy reading-night goodies, Shelf Indulgence exclusives, and more.

Physical books will be a curated mix of romance titles, with the surprises getting a little more exciting as Christmas gets closer. Your final bookish reveals may include special editions, signed or bookplated copies, indie favorites, or other upgraded editions.

📚 THE BOOKS

This calendar contains nine books total between physical and digital titles.

Books are intentionally kept secret so you can experience the fun of opening each day’s surprise. Expect a variety of romance genres, tropes, and authors selected by the Shelf Indulgence team.

Ebooks will be provided using a redemption code or QR code with instructions included inside that day’s package.

🎁 HOW IT WORKS

Your advent calendar contains 24 numbered gifts, one for each day from December 1 through December 24.

Start with #1 on December 1 and open one each day..or immediately lose all self-control and open six at once. We aren’t the advent calendar police.

📦 PREORDER & SHIPPING

This item is a preorder.

All advent calendars will ship no later than November 20, 2026. We’ve intentionally built extra time into our shipping schedule to help calendars arrive before December 1, including additional cushioning for the increased carrier volume and potential delays surrounding Thanksgiving.

Once your calendar ships, you’ll receive an email with tracking information so you can follow it all the way to your door.

Please keep in mind that once a package has been accepted by the shipping carrier, transit times are outside of our control. Shipping by November 20 allows additional time for potential holiday delays, but specific delivery dates cannot be guaranteed.

Local pickup will also be available. Pickup customers will receive an email as soon as their calendar is ready.

✨ A FEW IMPORTANT DETAILS

Due to the surprise nature of this product, specific books, authors, tropes, colors, and merchandise cannot be requested or substituted.

Some books may contain mature themes or explicit content. This advent calendar is curated for adult romance readers (18+).

Because each calendar is assembled specifically for this release, all advent calendar sales are final.
