I'm thinking of treating myself and start getting a book box subscription. I'd love some recommendations for adult subscriptions. I'm just a big kid and love all little bookish things, but I want to stay with adult fiction and not YA for the actual books.
Echo Maybe Book Riot? 7y
saresmoore I'm following on this because I've actually seen a lack for what you're describing. BookRiot's is good, I think, although a bit pricey for me. 7y
mcipher I'm with you - not a huge YA person but I'd love to try a box. 7y

TheBookAddict Book of the Month!!! Their judges choose 5 books for each month and you make your selection from those books. You can choose to skip a month if you don't like their selections. I started my subscription in September and am loving it! https://www.mybotm.com/34u453t3oemcayvi 7y
Theresa I may be becoming a book box addict. I've done Book of the Month for about 4 months & I really like it. You get to choose the book(s) you want so no surprises except maybe a trinket they throw in. I also buy the Book Riot boxes occasionally. They're nice because there's no commitment, but other than a general theme you have no idea what you'll get in the box. I recently started the Quarterly Box. I've only gotten 1 of those so far (cont...) 7y
Theresa (Cont.) but I really liked it. It was by Brit Bennet & included The Mothers. They emailed info about the author & main book for the January box & it looks really good. Finally I just signed up for Indiespensable from Powell's Books. I haven't received any of those boxes yet but, based on Litsy comments, I think it's going to be good. Check out #Indiespensable & #quarterlybox for more info. (edited) 7y
Theresa One more hashtag... Try#powellsindiespensable for a post with a link to more info about that box program & how to sign up. 7y
LauraBrook Book of the Month is wonderful, and one I'd like to subscribe to again is MyBookBox. You pick two genres (i did mystery and nonfiction) and get two books a month. Can't remember price, but it was just the books. What I really liked about them was that I was always surprised by their choices and that I hadn't heard of the picks anywhere else. And, still haven't come to think of it! I've tried others &they're fun, but I'm picky about bookish extras. 7y
Smangela I agree with @TheBookAddict and if you use they're code you get a discount. I also think there is a code of Facebook to get one month for $5 to try it out. Brand new hardback book and free shipping - I rejoined with a code they sent me for 6 months for other $59.98! I like that you can skip the months too if you aren't interested in that month's selections 7y
TheBookAddict @Smangela yeah and it's not as pricey as other subscriptions. 7y
Smangela @TheBookAddict very true. I did OwlCrate for a while and I liked it but some of the items were either impractical for me or I hadn't read the book the item was in reference too. Plus you couldn't skip a box. This one definitely works better for me :) 7y
