As the final addition to the Reader’s Library, I wanted to share a way to receive a book every month. There are actually a lot of businesses and bookstores that offer this, but I am highlighting the most cost-efficient ones I could find.

For those who want a steady stream of books or don’t want to take the time to browse through shelves and shelves, this is a fun alternative. Each of these monthly book services are unique in the way books are chosen and boxes are put together.

Brilliant Books Monthly

$89.00 to $325.00 a year USD

This is a small brick and mortar bookstore with a dozen employees (including the intern) that aims to be the most personalized monthly book supplier. New subscribers fill out a physical card to detail their preferences that will help BBM make the best selection. All the books are guaranteed and come with additional goodies. They also have a book club for young adults and kids, as well as offering physical and audio options.

Book of the Month

$9.99 the first month, then $15.99 a month USD

Founded in 1926, this company boasts having the longest running monthly book subscription that I discovered. The process: pick a book (and two add-ons if desired) out of a list of five, have it shipped to you, then read and review it. If you’re not a fast reader, you can pause your subscription while you finish the last book. They encourage their subscribers to sign up with their BFF program which comes with perks such as merchandise, gifts, discounts, and exclusive customer service.

The Bookworm Box

$6.99 to $43.99 a month USD

Give yourself a gift while giving back. All profits paid to this monthly book subscription business go to a variety of charities. Each box includes a book singed by the author. Because of this, there are a limited number of boxes available each month. From what I could tell, there are two categories of boxes (Romance and Young Adult), with multiple tiers in each, equaling seven box options in total. This company refuses to spoil what books are upcoming, surprising their subscribers every month.

As another monthly book option, Etsy has dozens of Blind Date with a Book sellers that are happy to provide something fun to read. Most businesses there charge anywhere between $6.00 and $25.00 USD.

If this sounds like a fun way to get your book fix, go ahead and check out the different options and see which one fits your taste and reading needs best.

Thank you for stopping by and happy reading!
