Book lovers are also some of the hardest people to shop for and I’m always hard-pressed to pick out titles for my fellow bookworms. I actually liked BOTM so much that I gave it twice as a holiday gift this year, both to rave reviews. But now that I’m a few months into my subscription and my BOTM shelf is growing, I’m starting to enjoy the uniformity. The BOTM-issue book jacket took a little bit of time for me to get used to. I take pride in the mix-and-match style of titles from new and used bookstores, neighborhood stoops and trades with friends. So I would say this is something to keep in mind but by no means a dealbreaker - at least not for me, anyway.īut speaking of style, I’m someone who likes an eclectic bookshelf. Having those author blurbs helps me know what the tone and style might be. I do miss seeing what other authors say about any given book I’ve chosen, especially if I’m looking to gauge whether I might like the title or not. Notably, BOTM book jackets omit blurbs from other authors. Each BOTM book option comes in exactly the same size with a small BOTM logo in the upper corner.

Here’s how it works: each month, Book of the Month selects five new hardcover titles for subscribers to choose from, all available at the same member price. And today’s subscription isn’t much different from the original concept. Over the years, Book of the Month has notably selected some of the most popular books in America, like Song of Solomon, In Cold Blood, and The Catcher in the Rye. Shopping Why I love my new Kindle Paperwhite Book of The Monthīook of the Month traces back almost one hundred years to 1926, when it launched as a mail-order book service. So far, I haven’t wanted to skip a month. As for the selection of books, I was pleasantly surprised to find that every month they featured authors I was definitely interested in reading, like Yaa Gyasi and Bryan Washington.
I am usually skeptical of commercially popular books, but I trusted her taste in literature and thought it might be fun, so I decided to give BOTM a try.
I heard about Book of the Month (BOTM) from a dear friend (also a Millennial) and dedicated reader. And now I feel like I’ve been missing out. And then I came across Book of the Month, a curated monthly reading subscription.Įven though I fit squarely into the ‘Millennial’ lifestyle, I’ve never had a subscription service before. And I’ve had to get creative about keeping my nightstand stocked with books to read. As a serious bookworm, I missed browsing at the library and local bookstores for new titles, staff recommendations and inspiration. Stuck at home with little to do, readers consistently kept their pages turning in hopes of lifting their moods. But book sales also had record highs, with print and e-books purchases skyrocketing in 2020. Publishing was no different, facing cancellations of book tours and in-person readings, late book release dates and shipping delays. Over the last year, nearly every industry has had major disruptions due to Covid-19.
