Reading Companion - Mystery Seconds Sale
This Product is a SECOND
These products feature cosmetic imperfections that do not impact their functionality. Please note that seconds are final sale; there are no refunds or exchanges.
Not every Reading Companion leaves the press looking flawless, but that doesn’t mean it won’t be the perfect partner for your literary adventures. Welcome to the Mystery Seconds Sale, where reading companions with minor quirks are ready to be loved—at a price that’s easier on your book-buying budget.
Also, this one isn't as much of a mystery because so far there is only one cover that's been created for the Reading Companion lol.
Each Reading Companion exterior features a few minor hiccups or cosmetic imperfections. The inside pages? Still crisp, still waiting for you to document every detail of your books! This reading companion is ready to help you track, reflect, and savour every story, just with a little extra "character."
How it Works
Love a little surprise? The Mystery Seconds Sale lets you grab a discounted seconds journal without knowing the design until it arrives! A little gamble, a lot of savings.
How it works? You order your mystery product and we hand select the design for you from our available seconds stash.

Imperfections are purely cosmetic—functionality is not affected. If you love a deal and don’t mind a little extra "character," this one’s for you!

Care Instructions
Due to the delicate nature of the material used for the gold detailing, the foil can tarnish after rigorous and frequent use. We encourage you to be super gentle with your journal and gold foiled items and to expect natural tarnishing over time.
How to Use
A 'read count' is where you can keep a tally of how many times you have read the novel. You just add a strike for each time you read (Eg. 'III'= 3 times read)
Shipping and Returns
All of your orders are packed with love and care by the Quirky Team and are shipped from Quirky HQ in Adelaide, South Australia.
