KBF Book Bundle
The Kentucky Book Festival Book Bundle connects readers with Kentucky authors and Kentucky artists through a one-of-a-kind subscription-based experience which is delivered four times annually. Subscribers will “Find Themselves in the Story” through reading a new or recently released book and collecting curated specialty items, such as magnets, stickers, bookmarks, or postcards. Each bundle will also include an item from Kentucky Soaps & Such, too!
