How the monthly book subscription works

Category: Subscriptions · Shoppers

What you get each month, how books are chosen, and how billing works.

What's included

Each month, you'll receive one hand-picked book based on your reading preferences, plus a printed reading guide and a discount code for our shop. Books are usually new releases or recent favourites from our editors.

How books are chosen

When you sign up, we ask about your favourite genres, recent reads, and any topics you'd rather avoid. Our editorial team uses that profile to match you to a title each month. You can update your preferences any time from your account.

Plans and billing

• Monthly: $19.99 per month, billed on the same date each month.
• Quarterly: $54 every 3 months (a saving of about 10%).
• Annual: $199 per year (a saving of about 17%).

Skipping or swapping a month

You can skip an upcoming month or swap your selected title for a different one from our catalogue, as long as you do it before the cutoff (usually the 20th of the previous month). Look for the "Manage next box" panel on your subscription dashboard.
