Love my books from btm! Love the excitement waiting for it to arrive and taking it out of the box! Love the selections of books! I would give 5 stars for more little surprises in the box (like stickers/ book related items) , it's hard to afford ordering enough books to get the gifts. But still love btm!

I love the ability to view a condensed list of books monthly!

This concept is an ingenious one for avid readers who like perusing a rotating list of titles, but suffer analysis paralysis when checking out the veritable buffet of options at a bookstore or library. The books arrive quickly and I've always received the correct title picked each month. Also, a great gift for the bibliophile in your life!

Book of the Month is such a great service for people who love to read! They have a small fee and free gift to join which got me interested. Their customer service is amazing! I wrote a review on a book I had a heard time reading just to let others know it wasn’t very good. BOTM reached out to me and offered a free book credit simply because I didn’t enjoy the book I bought and read! I didn’t complain, I didn’t ask for a refund, they offered it to me! You also earn book credits for buying books so most months I pay for one book and get another book free with a credit! I have also had a couple months where I simply ordered a free book with my credit and paid nothing! I love it and so far have enjoyed every book I’ve chosen besides the one!

I love ordering my books each month, I love the predictions, anticipation and getting my book box brings me joy!

I’ve been a been a Book of the Month member for 9 years. Recently the better books have been add ons that you can only get if you pick one of the monthly selections or member favorites. The best I can describe it is the monthly selections are more forgettable. As an example, Fredrick Backman’s My Friends was recently an add on and to-date it’s rated as loved by 79% of members. In comparison in the June selections, member loved ranges from 33%-64%, with one being Next to Heaven by James Frey who has admitted to using AI to write. With that being said, I’ve had many wonderful books from BOTM throughout the years currently sitting on my favorites shelf, and I still anxiously wait for the beginning of every month to see what the new selections are.

I love all the extra effort BOTM puts into EVERYTHING! The books may not always be exactly what I want but they are truly hand picked, the gifts are adorable, and customer service is unmatched.
