Spot on. Books that I wouldn't have picked for myself but I am really enjoying so far
The books where perfect and the customer service was great. Where really helpful when I couldn't find my account.

Love love love this book box.
I love the books i got and cant wait to dive in to them just not sure which to read first! Cant wait for next months
Surprised, as it wasnt something I would have picked, but finished the book in one day. Cant wait for my next box.
The books arrived on time and both of them seem to be interesting and the type of books I read
The picks for my horror books were really good and definitely considered my interests and Goodreads data. It felt so personalised!
Absolutely fantastic, had a little blip where Evri lost the first box and Charlotte from theBook Box sent out a replacement immediately. Books are well thought out dependin on what you are into and are individually selected for you not just mass picked for everybody. Cannot wait for my next box!
In love with the books 🖤
Amazing books one that’s been on my wish list for ages and one I’ve never heard of but I’m so excited to read it
I ordered this as a gift for my sister! Very pleased so far. would use again
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!
