Very nicely packaged, it arrived pristine. The book clues were exciting and showed a very good understanding of my reading tastes. In fact, they chose exactly what I would’ve, which I know because I’ve read that book before.
I’m giving five stars because the book arrived in great shape, the blind book date description was fun, and they did a good job picking something I would enjoy reading.
LOVE IT!

I just received my first book and was more than happy with everything. The shipping bag thingie was even light pink with cacti on it, 2 things I love. I've only started reading the book, but so far it's really good! I'll definitely be keeping this subscription. Thank you to Auggie's!
What a fun subscription!

This was a really fun subscription box. I got this as a gift for my mom for mother’s day. She absolutely loved it. Really fun to try and guess which book it is before opening. Highly recommend to every book lover!
A blind date just for you.

I have received two packages so far and love the personalization. They take the time to make the clue cards with your name on it. I can't wait for my next blind date with a book.
So fun!

I'd asked for Nonfiction, and the book was a novel. However, as the hints indicated, it was an historical novel and contained a lot of information about the subject that I hadn't known before. It was a great pick for someone like me. I'm looking forward to the next blind date.
Great and fast customer service!

I subscribed for a 3 month term and cratejoy goofed up and didn’t display shipping on the invoice. It showed dashes so my total showed up as $30. I was startled by the high charge on my card and quickly emailed the box owner. I received a fast and detailed response with a screenshot that includes the shipping price on cratejoy. The charge was reversed before I could respond.
Excellent customer service! Making me wish I didn’t knee-jerk like that. I’ll keep an eye on the page and hope they offer horror as a genre.
Never Judge a Book By it's Cover!!!! :D

This is super adorable I have been subscribed to this for 2 months and I would have never picked the books I did, but they are actually pretty good!! And the packaging is adorable! I can't wait for the next one to come!

I really enjoyed getting a surprise book in the genre I like. Everything was well packaged and adorably labeled with the hints on the front of the covered book. The book was right up my alley and it was a good way to introduce myself to an author I might not have picked up before. The customer service is also excellent I had emailed with a question and I was responded to promptly.
