“You'll wake up one day and find you're almost forty, and you haven't done any of the things you wanted. That you let in so many voices when you were trying to make decisions, instead of listening to the One voice that mattered, that you never decided anything at all.”

I had this crazy idea, and I hope this is an okay place to share. Have you heard of those book subscription boxes, like Owl Crate? Well I had this idea to start making my own book boxes. They would be clean books for Christian teens, by authors like Stephanie Morrill, Nadine Brandes, and Lisa Tawn Bergren. A friend and I teamed up to do it and we're calling it WishLit. Do you think it would be a good idea? Would you be interested in it? Do you have any tips?

That's a great idea!
