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."

We ship subscriptions between the 15th-20th of each month depending on how the business days fall. Our exact shipping dates for the next month will be always posted on our Join Now page and in confirmation emails.
