Let customers speak for us
from 14 reviewsProcess was simple and easy. Sent a list of books I'd read. And the 2 books that turned up were great. Not only did they fit the style I read but they were books that weren't completely unknown. Thankyou so much. Would get again!
Very pleased with the picks that were sent. Already read book one. Loved it so much I’m reading the sequel!
A brilliant two fer, both books were fantastic (Especially the Library at Char Hill)
Finally found a dark romance subscription box and it's fantastic. Can't wait to receive my next box.
Amazing!
I’ve used a different horror sub box before which turned out being just full of the latest “hyped” releases which often weren’t great (or scary!) reads. I really was pretty thorough in my request form, and in my first box was two great hits: one from a new (to me) author which sounds right up my street, and the one missing book from an authors collection. Really good idea being able to share your Goodreads profile, I’m excited to see what comes in next month! Thank you for giving my hope in sub boxes again!
two great books that i have been wanting to read but hadn’t gotten round to buying yet very excited to read
I was so happy to receive this book. I’d been looking at read it for agesss and it fits my romance/dark romance preference. So amazing
I was skeptical on what I would be given because I have a lot of books on my shelves and a lot I don’t want to read. But this box picked out 2 very intriguing books for me!
My box was absolutely perfect, the books I was sent met my preferences so well & I got a book I’d had on my tbr for ages!
Will be continuing my subscription because I think it’s such a nice treat to have. Thank you!
Such a fun idea! I love being surprised each month but book choices that are tailored to me!
Im a few months into my subscription and I’m really impressed with my book selection so far. All of the books I’ve received have been 5/5! id really recommend to any book lover or someone wanting to get into reading
I have only been subscribed for one month, but my first box was great! The books were super relevant to me and I’m looking forward to reading them.
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!
