Hello, reader friends!

Just a quick heads-up that effective May 1, 2020, your TBR subscription will include sales tax, in compliance with your state’s regulations that require taxing of digital goods. You don’t need to do anything — this update will occur automatically in your next billing cycle.

Book mail is the best mail! There are a ton of book subscriptions out there — no matter what you’re into, there’s probably one for you. Check out a few of our recent faves.
Feminist Book Club, $45+ monthly
Shipped monthly, each box features a book selected by subscribers, along with a hand-curated array of 2-4 full size, high-quality products. In addition to the box, there is a Facebook group where members get to discuss the month’s book, participate in live chats, and help select future titles. A portion of sales each month go toward a new feminist organization, literally putting money back into doing good.
Bubbles and Books, $25+ monthly
The Bubbles and Books box is a unique mix of bath products and paranormal romance, so you can get your creature feature, love, and self-care on all at once. The basic subscription level at $25 a month gets you one new release paranormal romance novel, along with at least five ebook romances and fix luxury bath products. Talk about a splash!
The margins box is perfect for you if you’re seeking more inclusive books in your reading life, as well as goods made by black, indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) in your life. Each month you will get on newly released YA book by a BIPOC author, along with 4–6 book related goods.
This box ships worldwide from Australia, which would be an utter treat for anyone, but especially for those who aren’t Aussie. Imagine getting a new book from another country, along with a selection of teas? I think this is my personal dream book box. Each month, the box features a brand new book, along with six surprise tea selections. Yum!
My Coffee and Book Club, $32/month
If there’s a tea box, you better believe there’s also a coffee box. My Coffee and Book Club is a monthly box that brings together literature and delicious coffee. There’s a lot of opportunity to customize the box. You get one 12-oz bag of small batch coffee—you choose between whole bean and ground—along with two new hardcover books—you choose what genre. There’s also an opportunity to snag a monthly free ebook with the box.
Tailored Book Recommendations (TBR), starting at $15/quarter
Powered by Book Riot, TBR is like StitchFix for books — tell your Bibliologist what you like to read and what you’re looking for, and they’ll send you personalized recommendations by email or hand-selected hardcovers the old-fashioned way.
