Let customers speak for us
from 65 reviewsReally 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.
Really chuffed with my books thank you.. Definitely picked the right choices. I can't wait for my next box 😊
Hadn't read the books before but they suited me very well and in very good condition
Fantastic little box got the genre.I love and can't wait for my next box.
I wasn’t expecting such a good pick for the first book, but I am beyond happy with the first book! Can’t wait for the next one! :)
Books sound great! An intelligent no fuss book subscription. Thanks again
Both books were amazing and I’m very good condition

Excited for my next delivery.
Great selection of books. I have read all 3 and enjoyed them. I have had a lot of book subscriptions this is the first one that i have received and liked them all.

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!
