Q: I'm looking to discover debut novels and brand new stories. Are books newly published or do they tend to be a year or two (or more) old? Asked by Brittany D., December 2020
Hi Brittany, our curator finds hidden gems from past years but they are all new books. I hope that helps.
Q: Are the books suitable for YA (13yr old reader)? My son is a reader and this would be great if age appropriate.Asked by Kevin L., November 2020
Hi Kevin, No, we've found that some of the content isn't appropriate for children, sorry.
Have a great day :)
All the books received were lacking in diversity of any kind. One was "an alternative nazi history" and given that the marketing for this emphasizes that this is a curated service and not randomly selected... that's such an interesting choice. I will say that one of the books was an anthology and there were some great names on there but that was the only book I felt was any good.
This service just isn't for me.
Enjoy the books; however, have a concern regarding duplication of titles going forward into the renewed subscription. I had hoped there was a checklist to see what had already been sent
I like the service, but I wish that the books they sent me were actually fantasy like I picked, rather than sci-fi. Every shipment I've received so far has not had one fantasy book in it which is very disappointing. I'm probably going to cancel before my next renewal date since it doesn't seem like they're going to be able to send me what I'm looking for.
Good books in good condition!
Purchased 3 month subscription, only received the first box. When I reached out to them, they gave me a tracking number that has been “waiting for pickup “ for over a week now. Do not get scammed by these people.
Really love this subscription! Every month they have sent me high-quality books that are in great condition.
I've never gotten any books that felt cheap, damaged, or of questionable quality. They select books by good authors - some of which I was already interested in and others that are new and intriguing. One of the books was actually a beautiful new paperback I had been trying to not let myself buy at the book store and when it came in my box I was so surprised and thrilled.
They ship on time and every month I look forward to what new gem they will send my way. :)
I really like this box. I subscribed for 6 month. I got books from authors I never would have looked at. The only problem was I received a book in my August box, and then I received the same book in my September box. I sent two emails asking for a new book, but they never replied back. If it wasn't for this, then I would have given them 5 stars.
Customer support is very slow to get back to you if they get back to you at all. You have to ask every month to get your ebook as well which is pretty inconvenient and they just stopped responding after awhile and I eventually gave up. The physical books I’ve gotten have been mediocre at best I’ve a couple of semi popular books but the majority are from no name authors and many have not been “Fantasy” at all and just seem kind of random or definitely Science Fiction. They also twice sent me book 2 in a series?
Good selection of books but shipping took a while
Reading the first of the two in the box - has kept my interest so far. Looking forward to discovering new authors beyond my normal range.
