Eh. Not my thing this time

My current box didn't have too many things in it I found interesting. It was, like two books that were basically the same, army/airforce books which i didn't even bother to read the back of, one that I had never heard of and the back only had reviews, which is annoying, but I'll have to look into. But the book of short horror stories looks really good. It's kind of a shame cause I've had past boxes with really good things in them.

So so. I have an aversion to too old paperbacks and to books marked up by previous owner. I will not be renewing.

If you are expecting different ethnicities of authors don’t go for this one, the price is amazing but the genres are very generic.

Shipping mishap

Over all it’s usually pretty good. However, I updated my address almost 4 months ago and they keep sending it to the wrong city. The last 3 shipments I had to pay a $7 delivery fee on my boxes and the last one went to the wrong address so I can’t even get it.

For the price you get decent books! Each one priced at $15 or more if they're brand new so $15 a month for 4 used books isn't bad at all!! I just wish that I could chose what kind of genre I receive for the 4 book bundle, you can with the other ones but not this subscription! Kinda sucks seeing as I'm only really in romance and fantasy books!

I am not overly pleased with choice of books. Would like more on psychological thrillers.

About those Genres...

This review is going to be of mixed results... For one thing, the price really is so affordable that I feel like I have no right to complain. The books do seem like they're worth it too. So why three stars? Well, they really aren't good at giving you the genres of your choosing. My first box was cooking and fantasy. YES to fantasy, but a very very hard no to cooking. I despise cooking books. I contacted them as soon as I could to fix this. Now, I gave them the benefit of the doubt. It's possible that something fudged up on my end or the computer's end when we got this subscription box rolling. Except...Box 2 was charged before I even received Box 1. That's always a red flag. STILL, I thought "This is really cheap, I'll just let it go." So here I am with Box 2. Fantasy- yay! And... COOKING. I got cooking AGAIN. I'm beyond on the fringe with them as the fantasy books seem worthwhile. But cooking? AGAIN? I don't know how to get through to these people that there is obviously some sort of issue that they are clearly not addressing. Honestly, I'd rather pay more for these individual fantasy books than receive a book genre that I despise. It's an immediate turn off.

This is my first box. I was expecting at least one horror since that a genre I picked but hopefully next month I get some. Overall Satisfied.

I have not received my 3rd shipment.
The first two shipments were late, but the books were not bad.
I am still looking forward to the 3rd subscription box. This subscription is a gift for my mom.

Good Books, Horrible Shipping
Jul 13, 2020

The books I've received so far are good, but the shipping is horrible. I have to email them every month to receive my book (days past the "latest send by" date). Only then do they email me a tracking number - which they clearly create AFTER receiving my email because it doesn't actually ship for another 1-3 days. To top it off, I've never received a response from an employee - only a shipping label.
I want to recommend them to others, but until this gets resolved, I can't do that.
