It came quickly after the initial “it shipped” email. The packaging was nice and neat. The book wrapping was really cute, too! I really enjoyed this!

I love this box so much!! It is beautifully packaged, the books are always the best picks and customer service is great. I was on a 3 month subscription and asked if I could switch the theme of my box between the 2nd and 3rd shipment and they responded right away and made the switch. I always look forward to my box each month!

Because of my autoimmune disease, I can't really leave the house right now. It's amazing to have the books delivered directly to me. I look forward to this box every month and it never fails to give me great books. Thanks for all that you do! <3

I was very excited for this box since the reviews were pretty good. I recieved my box and both of the book are rated under 3.5 stars on goodreads. Only one of them sounds interesting, plus they were purchased from an overstock company. Over all I wouldn’t recommend this subscription. I won’t be keeping it.

I'm so disappointed. Initially I was so excited when I ordered a box. I actually ordered 2. They came and it was so fun unwrapping the books. I recieved some great books. HOWEVER, one of the books came damaged. The pages were water damaged and the glue came undone from the pages holding them to the spine. I contacted them to find a relove. They first emailed me and seemed as though they wanted to help but after I replied stating the issue they never responded. Even after a second attempt to contact them, they still did not respond. Terrible service from what seemed like a great box.

I have not received my crate , and I’ve made 2 payments. In my opinion I can’t not rate the crate , if there was the option to give it zero stars I would.

April, we are sorry to hear you are not completely satisfied with our Book Box. However, it shows that your Book Box was delivered to your PO Box last week. Have you had a chance to check with your local post office? To make things right, we will issue you a full refund for the 2nd payment.
Happy reading!

I am very happy with the book titles unfortunately my books was delivered damaged I contacted the seller they took great care of me and they felt really bad about me receiving the books damaged ... I am excited to get next month's box ... I am renewing my subscription I don't blame them at all for the damaged books.. I am very honest in my reviews... The books are still very much readable... I let them air dry and sun dry for a couple of days as well as used a hair dryer... Thank you for my amazing books I already finished reading one book..

Received 3 deliveries so far and the 3 books I have read were hits. Definitely exposes you to stories in my genre mystery/thriller that I may never have tried and bought. Good value and delivers as promised.

My 16 year old niece says the first box was good. The 2nd box just arrived and those “look really good.” That’s a huge compliment from a teenager! 😂😂

I just received my first box, and I was impressed with how quickly it came and how nicely packaged it was. Especially the eco-friendly box/paper. Very intriguing choices on the books, they are right up my alley. This service is great for people like me who love to read but suck at keeping up with good new authors/books. This will probably be a gift for a few of my avid reader friends/family for Christmas and birthdays.

Bad quality and customer services

I subscribed to the 3 months subscription. There is nothing interesting about the books. It was mostly undiscovered books. It wasn't even gems. I didn't enjoyed any of the books. I unsubscribed after the first month. After my 3 months ended, they charged me again. I emailed them and never received a reply. It turned out that my subscription wasn't cancelled properly, so I cancelled again. I asked for a refund, because why pay $50 for useless and uninteresting books. Customer services was very rude and hostile. I absolutely do NOT recommend this subscription. It is not worth it.

I bought a three month subscription for my son’s girlfriend, an avid reader. She just opened the second box and stated that all four books she has received from the two boxes look good and she thinks she’ll enjoy them.

I enjoy reading and I have been looking for a subscription box that I will enjoy month to month. I have try several but canceled after the month because they weren't that good. But I just received my first box and enjoyed it so much that I'm going to keep this box. I also ordered the mystery box as well. So now I'm getting the surprise box and the mystery box. Love your boxes can't wait to get the next one!!

Received my first box and was very pleased. Two interesting hardbound books, fast shipping. Just what I am looking for in a book only subscription. Am thinking of adding another catagory to my subscriptions.

Loved this month's books! They were both very interesting and right around my alley of what I usually read. The packaging was very thoughtful as they were individually wrapped with gift paper and twin. Will definitely be subscribing for next month's box!
