What Are The benefits of book subscription boxes?
There are several benefits to subscribing to a book box. First, it takes the hassle out of picking new books to read. With so many titles available, it can be tough to know where to start. A book subscription box saves you time and energy by doing the legwork for you. Second, book boxes introduce you to new authors and genres that you might not otherwise discover. This is especially beneficial for readers who tend to stick to familiar territory. Lastly, most book boxes include additional goodies (our specialty!) like Bookish merchandise, which add an extra layer of fun to the experience.
