What our readers say
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"A Wonderful Subscription!"
"I've had The Book Drop for a little over a year now, and the excitement is still there to see what book I'm going to get for that month! I've tried out a few different subscription options since I read a little bit of everything, and the choices are wonderful! Some books I received I would have never thought to pick up if it wasn't for this subscription. Can't wait to see what other 2023 picks I receive!"
