October 2023 Book of the Month Picks

Did you know that Book of the Month is now available in Canada?

One of the original (and most popular) book subscription boxes, Book of the Month now ships to Canada – and Canadian readers are celebrating the news! I don’t know about you, but I can’t wait to get my hands on this legendary book subscription service.

Canadians can sign up to choose a favourite (or several faves) from Book of the Month’s curated list of new book releases. And then? Selections are delivered right to your door. Get ready to read your heart out!

Each month, I’ll share with you the Book of the Month picks and thoughts on each. I hope it will help you decide what books you’d like to read and pick for your subscription box! Not yet a Book of the Month subscriber? I’m still so happy to introduce you to the new book titles and to the service itself – maybe it will inspire you to become a subscriber (and get your read on)!

WHAT IS BOOK OF THE MONTH?

Book of the Month is America’s #1 book subscription box. And it’s now shipping to Canada! As a Canadian reader, I can’t wait to sign up for my subscription – it really is a book lovers dream! Book of the Month has the best new books in Canada.

In the book world, Book of the Month is one of the most (if not the most) popular subscription boxes. Every month, you get to choose an amazing book (or books) from their curated list of new releases and its shipped right to your door. As Book of the Month says, you’ll want to cancel all your weekend plans!

HOW DOES BOOK OF THE MONTH WORK?

They pick a few, then we pick our fave!

Choose from a curated selection of the best new reads every month and get them delivered.
Book of the Month (2023)

Since 1926, Book of the Month has been curating the very best in books for their monthly list. That means we get to “choose from stories vetted by cool people with great taste” (Book of the Month).

After checking out the monthly selections, readers pick the book they’d like to add to their subscription box. It’s then delivered right to their door – in the famous, bright blue Book of the Month box.

Step 1. We feature a few wow-worthy reads.
Step 2. You decide if you want one (or more).
Step 3. Then you read, review and repeat.

All it takes are three easy steps.

First, we pick a book from the selections on the list. Book of the Month selections focus on exciting new releases, perspectives and authors. Second, we get our box. It’s always an awesome day when that iconic blue box arrives at the door! Third, we can skip a month at anytime. Behind on your reading? Don’t see anything that catches your eye on this month’s list? Just roll your credits over, no problem.

As an added bonus, many Book of the Month selections are often early releases. What does that mean? You get to read them even before the books are available in stores. It’s almost like you get an advanced copy. How cool is that?

HOW MUCH DOES BOOK OF THE MONTH COST?

A Book of the Month subscription costs $26.99 per month (definitely cheaper than buying hardcover new releases at the book store) and you even get your first book for just $19.99.

You can skip a month at any time (no questions asked). Want more than one book from the month’s list of selections? You can get extra add-on’s for a discounted price each month too. Also, you can easily cancel your subscription at any time if you wish – but I don’t think you’ll want to!

You can visit the Book of the Month website for more information on subscriptions here.
