Book of the MonthReviews of bookofthemonth.com

I’ve been a been a Book of the Month member for 9 years. Recently the better books have been add ons that you can only get if you pick one of the monthly selections or member favorites. The best I can describe it is the monthly selections are more forgettable. As an example, Fredrick Backman’s My Friends was recently an add on and to-date it’s rated as loved by 79% of members. In comparison in the June selections, member loved ranges from 33%-64%, with one being Next to Heaven by James Frey who has admitted to using AI to write. With that being said, I’ve had many wonderful books from BOTM throughout the years currently sitting on my favorites shelf, and I still anxiously wait for the beginning of every month to see what the new selections are.

Last book was really bad but everything else has been enjoyable.

Editing my review based on immediate company response to my previous review. Choices are pretty mainstream and not my cup of tea, but are based on what many people are looking for these days: thrillers, light beach reads, and vampire fantasy. The shipping is incredibly efficent--fast and correct everytime. The website is also super user friendly. Based on their response time to my previous review, customer service is superb and willing to listen to customer experience.

I have problems with my eyesight which affects my reading. I have had 5 surgical procedures on my eyes. I am a senior. My subscription was closed. I contacted BOTM, and they were very considerate. They reinstated my gift subscription.

I love that Book of the Month is consistent month to month. I like that the books are specific to BOTM and can not be purchased elsewhere.
