Let customers speak for us
from 79 reviewsIt was my first Book box and I really enjoyed it! I was going through a reader's block and every time I go to a library I get overwhelmed with so many titles, so having them picked and sent to me is amazing!
I started with Ruthless Creatures and even though in the start I was a bit skeptical, I ended up extremely hooked and read it in just a few days! I really couldn't stop in the last half, it was awesome. Will definitely want to read the next ones in the future.
I'm still finishing Corrupt, which is being a little bit more difficult as it didn't hook me as much, but I'm enjoying it too now that I'm in the last chapters and I'm finally getting some answers!
Good job! I can't wait to see what comes in the next one!
Thanks for your nice work!
Both choices were perfect . Thank you so much ☺️
Great choices this month thank you!
Absolutely loved it! They were so thoughtful with the book choices and gave me some incredible books for my first box. I’m so excited to see what they send to me next month.
Really happy!!
Two books in the box and both were really good. Also they were very different from each other. Can’t wait for next months
Only read one of the books sent so far but really enjoyed it and pleased I went with the box as it gave me something different to read which I don’t think I would have picked up otherwise.
I’ve had 3 book subscriptions from different companies over the last 6 months and this is the only one I’ve been delighted with and haven’t cancelled. I told them what books I loved and sent them my Goodreads profile information and every book they’ve sent me has been a hit. All of the books I’ve read have been good, some of them have been excellent. Who ever has looked over what I’ve sent has obviously taken the time to consider it and has sent books based on what I’ve told them and what they think I’ll enjoy and they’ve been spot on. I feel like they haven’t just taken my money and sent any old tat so I’m won’t be leaving this subscription service any time soon.
Very good books and a good price
First book arrived today. Never heard of it but you know what I’m impressed. Good choice 👍
Really impressed with this. Ordering was easy; you pick your genre, then select your book from a choice of 6 with a basic description. The anticipation of what I'd get kept me going until my parcel arrived a week later.
My book arrived safe and sound and was from an author I've heard of but never read. Looking forward to diving in to it.
Would definitely order again.
Brilliant book box and very reasonably priced. I love it.
Great books
Absolutely cannot wait to read my book🥰 its been on my tbr list and im so excited to have received it!
I like the fact I receive books from authors I never knew about to widen my reading genres.
After providing a picture of my book collection, they selected books that were so perfect for me that one was already on my TBR and the other was an author I had been looking to try but hadn't got around to.
