BEFORE YOUR FIRST BOX

A few good questions.

A little clarity before your next chapter. Here are the things readers ask us most.

Ask us anything else
Who picks the books in my box?

Real people choose every title around your genres and preferences. Expect a mix of familiar names and new discoveries, with the titles kept a surprise until you open your box.

Can I tell you what I love—or want to avoid?

Please do. Add an optional note with favorite authors, formats you enjoy, books you already own, or themes you’d rather skip. We use it to guide your picks, though specific books and authors can’t be guaranteed.

What if I receive a book I already own?

Let us know. As a one-time courtesy for a book you owned before subscribing, we’ll include one additional book in your next box.

What if you send me the same book twice?

We track the ISBNs of books we’ve sent you. If a repeat slips through and we confirm it, you can choose a 50% refund on that box or two additional books in your next box.

Why do I choose at least four genres?

A little variety gives our curators room to surprise you within your taste. Choose at least four of our 14 genres to shape your mix.

Are the books new or used?

Every book is new or like-new and unread. Some may have minor corner wear or small dings from storage or transit.

What else comes in the box?

Alongside your chosen number of books, every box includes two random paper bookmarks and two random stickers. Subscribers who stay for three consecutive months or more also receive extra goodies.

Can I send a box as a gift?

Yes. Choose a one-time box for a book-loving friend and tell us the genres they enjoy. It’s a surprise chosen around their taste, with no monthly commitment.

YOUR NEXT CHAPTER STARTS HERE
