Check out the Book of the Month starring my curious little dog!

Book of the Month remains my favorite subscription box, and this June, I received my books! I chose two books because I had a credit for an extra one and decided to treat myself. I also really enjoy the special short-story series they highlight, which I absolutely love when I get them in the mail!

Volume 0, Issue 13

‘The Children' by Melissa Albert

and ‘Dissection of a Murder' by Jo Murray

BOTM is also celebrating its 100th anniversary, dating back to 1926!

Let me know which books you pick, or if you'd like to read these, so we can discuss them!

... Read moreAs an avid subscriber of Book of the Month (BOTM), I've found that receiving my monthly box is always a highlight. This month, I treated myself by using an extra credit to pick up two fascinating titles: 'The Children' by Melissa Albert, which dives into gripping storytelling, and 'Dissection of a Murder' by Jo Murray, a courtroom drama filled with suspense, intrigue, and deception. What makes BOTM stand out for me is the added charm of the special short-story series they occasionally include. These stories bring a fresh burst of creativity and can spark fantastic conversations with fellow readers. It’s like a mini literary bonus that keeps me eagerly anticipating each delivery. Adding to the excitement is BOTM's remarkable milestone of celebrating its 100th anniversary, tracing its roots back to 1926. This legacy speaks to the quality and passion they pour into their curation. One unique aspect of sharing my reading experience involves my curious dog, who often becomes my reading companion. It's delightful how pets can add a comforting presence during quiet reading sessions, making the whole experience cozy and enjoyable. For anyone thinking about joining BOTM, I highly recommend it—not just for the book selections but for the community it fosters. Using credits strategically can let you explore more books than expected, making it feel like a personalized bookstore delivered to your door. If you enjoy crime novels with intricate plots or captivating short stories, these June picks might be perfect for you. Feel free to share your book choices or thoughts about these titles so we can connect and discuss them further. Happy reading and happy bonding with your furry friends!
