Hi there! We ship orders the month FOLLOWING your order - so orders placed now (December) would ship in the third week of January. We can sometimes accommodate rush requests on a case-by-case basis, but as we get closer to the holiday that will become more challenging. Please feel free to email us or send a "message to seller" at any time if you have a question about an individual order, special request, etc. :)

Great question, Christine!
Pony Xpress Club is a subscription box full of horse and pony themed items - often INCLUDING a book or two, but not limited to books! The PXC box has toys, accessories, decorative items, and other miscellaneous horsey stuff as well as (usually) a book or other printed material.
Saddle Bag Book Club is our book subscription service for those who love to read - or love to read about horses at least! Each month we send 2-3 books (and the very occasional other media item) - these might be activity books, non-fiction books, or fiction - we try to mix it up!
Thanks for your question! :)

Hi Jodie! We don't have a book in EVERY box, but we do try! Sometimes we have non-fiction, sometimes an activity or coloring book, sometimes a great classic novel or fun modern chapter book - we mix it up! We see a lot of value in books and written materials of all types, so we do our best to include them whenever possible.
As we're big book fans, we also created the Saddle Bag Book Club subscription, which is a package of horse-themed books (and the very occasional dvd or other media item) each month - check it out!

Hi Mary! This looks like a duplicate question - answered you in more detail below (above? :) )
