What our readers say
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"Excitement in a package"
"I'm a part of multiple book subscription 'boxes' and The Book Drop is one of my favorite. I love the surprise and it's a title I'm never expecting. I also love the extra pamphlets and bookmark that is included. The biggest perk is that I'm able to support a small business monthly."
