Let customers speak for us
from 197 reviewsThis was a 5* read for me, and something I may not have picked up so very grateful to have received.
Fast delivery and exactly as expected!
Packed well and will be continuing to use the subscription.
Loved the idea of a personalised box made for me based on my book tastes and haven't been disappointed yet at all.
Reasonable price and value for money too with the personal touches :)
I thought the box was fantastic.The book box takes the time to look through your recommendations and takes into consideration the questionnaire you fill in and tailors the boxes directly for you!!! Such a fantastic value for money as well!!!! Would highly recommend
*chefs kiss*
Love it
Books always tailored to my taste! I love it
The books I received in my romantasy/dark romance were great. They were a lovely selection and ones I was looking forward to reading. I also ordered a dark romance blind date with a book. They packaged all three books together, so I’m not sure which one was the blind date book but all three were great. I will definitely be ordering again.
It’s a shame they don’t include any extras (book marks, biscuits, special editions etc) but it was one of the only dark romance UK subscriptions I could find.
Got 2 lovely books nicely packed bit on a preference but would love a book box bookmark that would just complete the box but over all amazing
I thought the selection of books I received were great. Can't wait to read them.
Love getting suprise books every month and there amazing books also

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!
