If you’re unfamiliar with it, this is a subscription box, called Book of the Month. Each month, you can pick from 5-7 selections of books that will come out that month.
It is also easy to add on additional books, or to skip months if you want!
BOTM is $10 per month, and if you use my link, we both get a discount!
Here are my predictions. This month I have 9 picks. Let’s get into it.
