Great wee book loved getting to see what the wee George got up to everyday
I read as often and as much as work and life will afford me, but it's hard to find new work by writers you don't already know. When I do venture outside my little circle of favourites, I'm often disap... See more

A great gift and excellent customer service
A great gift and excellent customer service too. A surprise book of excellent choice each month is very well received by an avid reader who otherwise is hard to buy for !
I LOVE the Mystery Book Club
I LOVE the Mystery Book Club. It was given to me as a gift several years ago by a dear friend and I have just kept on renewing my membership as I get to read books I wouldn't even think to pick up in a book shop. Such a diverse collection from a good mystery to books on life issues. Every month that envelope comes through the door with the beautifully wrapped book in it gets me excited at what is inside. I read a lot and have NEVER had a book sent to me that I have already read which I find extraordinary.
I first joined the club a few years ago…
I first joined the club a few years ago as a treat and enjoyed it so much I have renewed year upon year. Perhaps a better name for the club would be the Surprise Book Club because I am always very pleasantly surprised with the monthly book be it fiction or non-fiction. I have been introduced to many authors that I have kept reading. A huge thank you to the club for its wise choices.
Tried and tested
I first tried this subscription a few years ago, when I received it as a gift. I kept renewing it myself as I really enjoyed the books. Different genres, different topics, some very recent, some written years ago. I am always looking forward to discovering what I'm going to receive next...Perfect as a gift for someone or for yourself!
Excellent unique gift!
Bought as a present for a family member and she absolutely loves it. She rings me every month to tell me what the new book is and she loves the variety of genre that she might not have chosen herself. I will definitely renew her subscription for Christmas!
Such a fantastic idea
Such a fantastic idea. I bought the gift voucher for my daughter for a Christmas present and again for her birthday as she loved it so much. She said that she has read books that she wouldn't normally choose and have really enjoyed them. Broadening her genres. They come beautifully packaged and wrapped too. Would definitely recommend and fantastic value for money.
Selection of books is not to taste

Everything was simple and straightforward. Prompt service and nicely presented.
Great service
My mother was thrilled to receive her monthly book. Wrapped and ribboned and arrived promptly each month.
A wide range of books but gave her an opportunity to read books in previously unknown subjects.
Ideal pressie for my mum...
My mum was really pleased with her first book, received a couple of weeks ago. Fortunately, it's a thriller, her favourite genre! She said it was well presented, and was lovely to get through her letterbox. Hopefully, she'll enjoy the books to follow.
Loving it@
I love the packaging and have enjoyed every book. I read at least 4 books a month and you have yet to send ne a book I have already read. Some of your choices have been amongst the best books I have ever come across.
A lovely little service to gift others
A lovely little service. I received this as a birthday present and had no idea what I would be getting each month which really added to the surprise. Each book arrived wrapped very lovingly and carefully. The books were incredibly unique and original - I read and enjoyed them all and was exposed to books of a high quality I would never otherwise have seen.
I was gifted a voucher from a friend…
I was gifted a voucher from a friend last Christmas and I can honestly say this is the best book subscription I have ever been signed up to. It’s amazing, I’ve had so many good reads which I would never normally have gone for. I also have quite a collection of books (approximately 750ish) and not received anything I already own. Always come wrapped so nicely as well, would highly recommend!
The gift that keeps giving
My daughter brought me this gift for Mother’s Day, although she never told me. So far I’ve received two books, and waiting for my next book.
Brilliant, prompt service.

Great gift idea
Great gift idea! I bought a 3 month book voucher.
Gifted to my friend and she rated 4 stars! She said one book was a little weird haha but I guess that comes with receiving a random selection! But she is enjoying the current read.
Would recommend, was easy, and a different gift idea. Ordered voucher to myself and then gave the voucher to my friend to redeem.
Good read and reasonably priced
Thank you so much for rectifying "the…
Thank you so much for rectifying "the missing Christmas present". I had ordered a present for my sister in law and by the 15th February it had still not arrived. The Royal Mail had failed to deliver we discovered. Within 24 hours of contacting the company a book was winging it way to my sister in law. Thank you very much for your excellent customer service.
Deliver was good
Deliver was good , sure the books will be but it is a birthday present and not given yet.
