Have you ever wondered why reading gets harder as you get older? If you’re like most people, finding your next great read, especially right after finishing a book you loved is exhausting. Sure, you can always pick up a random new release and hope for the best, but let’s be honest — that strategy often ends with a $30 novel you’ll never crack open. That’s where a subscription box comes in handy. Instead of agonizing over vague back-cover summaries and hunting down non-spoiler reviews, book club members hand over the reins to someone else to pick their next page-turner. While that adds an element of surprise, it can also backfire if you get stuck with a dud. That’s where Book of the Month (BOTM) offers a twist on the classic book subscription. Not only do readers get to choose their own books from a short list of new releases each month, they also get some peace of mind knowing that all the books are pre-vetted by fellow readers. No more wasting time or money on a flop. BOTM works on a credit-based system. Each month, subscribers receive one monthly credit for $17.99 plus tax, which is redeemable for one book. There’s also an option to pay $14.99 per credit for a two-credit plan, or $13.99 per credit for 12 credits per year if you want to save a little cash. Next, you choose your book from the shortlist of titles. If you’re just not feeling the vibe of the current books, you can skip a month and redeem your credit later. So, if you’re ready to skip the guesswork and discover your next page-turner, you can join BOTM here.
