#Contact book of the month full

My only complaint on that is that it’s May 29 and we still can’t see the June 1 books and the BOTM FB group is filled with 20+ individual threads wondering what the June books will be. Still enjoying the book club itself though. I would be much more apt to use it were it formatted for tablets instead of only for phones. I use my iPad for most everything and the BOTM app is made for a phones that only shows up sideways on my iPad. I’m enjoying the choices for the most part and like that I can try out some books I might not normally choose.

Full disclosure: I will get one free book if you sign up using my link, so…y’know…I won’t be upset or anything if you do.BOTM is great though I’ve only been in it a couple months so far. If you’ve read this far and would like to join BOTM, you can use my referral link to get your first book for only $5. I find myself eagerly anticipating their email at the beginning of each month to see what the newest selections are, and then waiting for that blue package to arrive at my door (with free shipping, BTW). So far I’ve read 11 of the books in their archives, and I have liked one, loved seven, and only disliked three.

I’m a few months in, and I am loving Book of the Month. They won’t bill you or send you a book you didn’t choose, and you’ll still get your email the following month with the new books in it and continue as before. There are several different challenges, such as reading 12 books per year or reading a certain number of genres, that result in free books.Įasy to Skip: If you’re just not feeling any of the books that month or need to save your extra dollars, you can skip as often as you need to. I love that BOTM encourages me to spend a portion of my free time reading. Rewards: The more you read, the more you’re rewarded. With BOTM, for a very low monthly cost, I get brand-new books in great condition that I can give as gifts, trade with a friend, resell to a used bookstore, or swap with another book in one of the Little Free Libraries around the neighborhood.Įarly Releases: One of the perks of being a BOTM member is that you sometimes get early access to new releases! I’m reading one right now by a new author that I am loving so far.

If a book isn’t difficult to replace, I simply write a review in StoryGraph so I remember that I read it and can look it up easily when need be, then pass it on. More Books to Share: Lately I’ve really been trying to clean off my shelves and not hang onto quite so many books after reading them. You can see the contents of my most recent box here.Įasy to Cancel: I haven’t had to try yet, but the website promises that they make the cancellation process easy and that they do answer their phone. And looking through the archives, I spotted several books that I’d already been wanting to read. But realistically, there’s almost always going to be something I want to read on the list, and likely more than one. Good Choices: I quibbled at first over the idea of someone else choosing books for me. Good Value: Like I mentioned above, it’s very affordable, especially if you plan to resell the book when you’re done! Here’s what led me to take the plunge, and what I think now that I’ve been at it for a few months. Since I spend a little more than that on books each month already, it didn’t seem like it could hurt to at least try it out. If you can’t choose just one, you can choose up to two add-ons for $9.99 each. You choose one, and then for $15.99 (at the time of this writing) they send a brand-new hardback copy to your door. Here’s how it works: Every month, the club selects five books from various genres. Turns out BOTM is a subscription service, like any other.
