If you aren't familiar Book of the Month is a monthly subscription box that sends you a book of your choice each month. I learned about it through a facebook ad, because I am s sucker. They have a variety of judges who pick a new book that they love. Each month also has a guest judge; Anthony Bourdain was this month's guest judge. I love his show Parts Unknown so I had to get his recommendation. The best part of this service is the price! When you buy a new hardcover book and Barnes and Noble you can expect to pay $30 or more per book. With BOTM you pay $14.99 a month and you can add two more books for $10 each. So I have three books for the price that I would pay for one book at a big retailer.
It is great to get recommendations for new books that I might not have tried out before. It is like an introvert's book club. Where I have a limited selection of 5 people's favorite new book and they pitch their choice to you. I was really sold on the books this round. I know with all of the holidays upcoming I will need some reinforcements to get me through all of the holiday stress.
Here is what I got:
Nicotine- Nell Smith. "Reading a good book offers the rush of a good smoke at half the price of a carton of cigarettes, and with none of the associated health risks"
The Trespasser- Tana French. "An intricately-plotted thriller and a love letter to strong-willed women."
A Gambler's Anatomy- Jonathan Lethem. "I’ve worked with geniuses, scoundrels and scumbags, and have said it before, but it bears repeating: I’ve seen some shit. "
Book of the Moth is also really great about sending freebies, which I love! This month they sent me an awesome magnet. It is going on my fridge right now!
