Reading means quiet time to escape the worries and nonsense of my busy life. And since I started a local Book Club back in March 2017, I have been reading books that I wouldn't normally choose. Now, I would love to read as many as 50 books a year, like Bill Gates (maybe when I'm retired), but this year my goal is to read no less than 2 books a month.
To help eliminate the decision-making process, I thought it might be a good idea to join a monthly book subscription service. As I was researching these services I had an Aha moment! Some of these actually are great gifts (hint, hint, hint) and they'll come every month with lots of extra goodies and surprises:
Book of the Month
You'll get a book of your choice for $14.99 / month. Add extra books to your shipment for $9.99 each. Skip any month you want, and you won’t be charged. Free shipping, always.
Get a free book when you use code YESPLZ at checkout.
Quarterly Literary Box
Exciting reads and exclusive content curated by a different celebrated author each quarter. Each box includes an exclusive copy of the author's upcoming release brimming with personal, hand-written annotations, two additional books by writers they admire, and a delightful bookish goods. Package costs $49 (that's less than $17 p/month).
Hello Book Lover
Monthly book subscription box curated for the modern woman. Each month you will receive an exciting new book and a few pretty surprises delivered to your door! Subscriptions start at $28 a month plus shipping, which I don't think is cheap, but the monthly box does include your book and 2-3 fun surprises.
