Members are asked to pay $9.99 for their first book. After that, the subscription is $14.99 per month. Each month, BOTM chooses five new books for its readers. Subscribers can then go online (or use the app) to pick the books they’d like to receive in the mail, and BOTM will send ’em out sans shipping fee (via Real Simple). While these five titles are not curated for each individual subscriber, the site does offer a synopsis of each book, along with an in-depth details page that offers an honest and lengthy book review (via BuzzFeed). In addition to giving readers a synopsis, the site also displays characteristics of each title offered (i.e. feminist, slow build, etc.).
Subscribers can also add up to two additional books to their order for $10 per book or skip a month at no extra charge. “I’ve been a BOTM subscriber for five months now and I love it!” one Reddit user writes. “I think it’s worth it, as most hardcovers are around that price point anyways and you can choose from five new releases and some under the radar books. Sometimes, they include little extras inside the boxes that tie into the books they’re offering. Fun!” (via Reddit).
