I love the gift box !!! So thoughtfully selected and personalised
I love these boxes. So much variety!
Ive had some great books from the book box. After issues with delivery I contacted customer service and they dealt with the problem quickly and are really friendly. Highly recommend.
I loved both books. I can't wait till the next box. Thankyou
Absolutely fantastic!!!! 2 books I've had my eye on for a while now so excited to read them roll on next month 😃
Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson.
I was familiar with the story to some extent, but enjoyed it a lot, plenty of surprises and a good classic read.
Loved the books that were chosen for me. All books i haven't read yet and all exactly the type of book i would choose for myself. Very well done. Thank you 😊
Had a couple issues with Evri losing my delivery of my first book box but was immediately contacted and had a replacement box sent straight away which arrived promptly. Was then super impressed with the choice of book I received and am super excited to read it!
Really happy with my 2nd order
Have absolutely no complaints of it
She just wants more romantic fantasy
Not the dark romantic 🤦🏼♂️
Great books. I love how they check what you have and find books that fit your likes. Quick delivery.

FAQS
What is the Book Box?
The Book Box is a book subscription box that puts the books first! We don't jam pack your box with wasteful nicknacks, instead we spend the time and effort finding the right book for you.
After you make a purchase we ask a couple of questions about your reading preferences (this only takes five minutes) and then we handle the rest from there!
Each book subscription box is filled with handpicked books specifically ordered for every customer.
TLDR: We find books you will love, and send them to your door!
What if I have already read the book(s)?
This is a fair question, and one expected to be asked. Don't worry, we have thought about this!
Firstly to avoid filling your book subscription box with books you've already read, we will look at your Goodreads (or other reading app) and cross reference our picks with this!
If you don't have a reading app, you can send us a picture of your bookshelf and we can use that instead.
In the unlikely event that we do send you a book you have already read, don't worry! Free returns are available!
How do you find the right books?
This one is simple, we just ask a couple of questions about your reading preferences - which help us to get to know a bit more about the books you love!
After checkout, please make sure to complete our questionnaire (click this link) so we can find the perfect book for you!

To be eligible for a return, your item must be in the same condition that you received it, unworn or unused, with tags, and in its original packaging. You’ll also need the receipt or proof of purchase.

Shop by genre!
Why not start with a genre and go from there. You can always update your preferences throughout your subscription. But sometimes a genre can be a great place to start!
