I love new books, so when I saw a Facebook ad for something called Book of the Month Club I was immediately intrigued. I had been halfheartedly Looking for a book club to join, but hadn't found one in my area that I was excited about. This solved that problem and is basically an introverts dream book club. Here is how is works:
On the first of the month you are presented with 5 options. Each book is selected by one their Judges. Each month has a guest Judge, July was Arianna Huffington. Each Judge summarizes their book and why they loved it. and then you get to select the book of your choice.
Your book ships out to you by the 6th of the month (unless you are a new member, in which case it comes as soon as you choose).
My first book choice was 'Girls' by Emma Cline.
I had a promo code when I signed up so my box also came with a Free tote and sunglass. The author has a really compelling voice and I am totally sold on her style of prose. I decided to add an additional book for $9.99, since there was a torn between two options. I chose "Sleeping Giants".
For me, getting a subscription box is all about the little details. Each of my books came is a note like the one below. They are printed on cardstock and they gave me the feel of a book club, without actually having to make those human interactions.
This subscription box is amazing and what I love best is that the price is much less expensive than buying a big retailer. For a 3 month membership it is $14.99 per month and an additional book is always $9.99. I have paid $25+ for a new hardback, so this is a great deal.
Thinking of joining? Here is my referral Link
