This month’s book selections are here!
Book of the Month is one of my favorite subscription boxes for readers and book lovers. I get so excited seeing that blue box at my door! This is one subscription I’m hooked on and they also have a great rewards program too.
Every month they curate a selection of books for you to choose from. They are hardbacks, highly-anticipated new releases, from a range of genres. You can choose one or more from that month’s selections and from previous months, or skip that month and save your credit for later.
If you aren’t a member yet or want to learn all about how it works and if it’s worth it, here’s everything you need to know about BOTM!
We have five picks this month, plus three new add-ons.
Most exciting news:
BOTM now let’s us ship FIVE books each month! I’m so freaking excited for this!!!
It was so hard to narrow it down each month to just three. Plus, now I can add on a few from their backlist each month too.
Also, BOTM now has audiobooks too! And for every five credits you use on audiobooks, you get your 6th one for FREE. Such a good reward system.

July Picks:
The First Ladies by Marie Benedict and Victoria Christopher Murray
Genre: Historical Fiction
Pages: 400
Publication: June 27th, 2023
Hello Stranger by Katherine Center
Genre: Romance
Pages: 336
Publication: July 11th, 2023
My pick for this month! I am so excited to read this one. It’s not my typical genre but I read her release from 2022 (The Bodyguard) and I absolutely loved it. So I’m really looking forward to reading this one.
The Connellys of County Down by Tracey Lange
Genre: Contemporary Fiction
Pages: 288
Publication: August 1st, 2023
Dark Corners (Rachel Krall #2) by Megan Goldin
Genre: Thriller
Pages: 352
Publication: August 8th, 2023
This is my second pick for this month! I am currently reading The Night Swim, which is the first book in this series. Unfortunately, BOTM sold out of it before I placed my order but I managed to find a second-hand copy in great condition for cheap. I’m back in another thriller kick right now with my reading.
Immortal Longings by Chloe Gong
Genre: Fantasy
Pages: 384
Publication: July 18th, 2023
My Rating: ⭐
Read my full review here:
I read an ARC of this one gifted to me by the publisher. Well, actually, I DNF’d it, to be more accurate. I’m sorry to say that maybe this author just isn’t for me. I was super hopeful about her adult debut and it sadly just wasn’t that great for me. I am glad to see a fantasy pick for this month though! I wish they would do more fantasy and sci-fi.
New Add-Ons:
The Only One Left by Riley Sager
Genre: Thriller
Pages: 385
Publication: June 20th, 2023
I was really hoping that this was going to be a pick for last month but it wasn’t. I am glad they did finally add it though, even if I already bought this and read it before then. It was so freaking good! If you’ve been disappointed in this author’s past couple releases, never fear, because the Sager we know and love is finally back.
Hello Beautiful by Ann Napolitano
Genre: Literary Fiction
Pages: 416
Publication: March 14th, 2023
I am happy to see that they are willing to add books that may have been previously published but are now gaining a lot of traction. This is a great book club pick and I’m happy to see it added to their inventory.
My other selections for this month:
This month I am getting first box with five books! I’m so excited!
I went with two selections from the picks this month: Hello Stranger and Dark Corners.
Then I also decided to get three backlist books that I have been wanting to read:
I have had these three books on my tbr list for so long and I have heard nothing but amazing things about them. I’m so happy to finally be adding them to my shelf and finally diving into them to see what all the hype is about!
Overall, I think this is a fabulous month for BOTM and a great opportunity for new subscribers because the choices and add-ons for this month are amazing. Plus, there’s more options than ever now with being able to pick up to five books or even get audio versions if that’s how you prefer to consume books.
Sign up for BOTM and get your first book for only $5!
Even if you didn’t like any of this month’s books, you can choose from any of their previous selections (there are hundreds) when you sign up.
