Customer service is amazing!
I love all my books that have come so far! Thank you!
Very happy with my books this mnth. Looking forward to reading them all. Great merch inside too.
Was packaged very well and had a great selection
I am very impressed with the three books. I like the synopsis on all of them. 😃😃
It 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.

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!
