YAY! Congrats on your first box!

I was so excited for this month's picks!!

I was so so lucky and already read & ! They were both so so good!

So between my 2 boxes I got:

&

I have my botm books stacking up so I'm hoping to get through some of the previous months reads this month to tackle these next month! So excited!

I'm not sure which ones I'm getting yet, but I requested and got on audiobook.

Pretty sure I'm ordering

When I try to look at all of the books, it only shows me 10 books. That's never happened before. So I don't know what (if any) last book I'll get. Where'd all the books go???

Where are you only seeing 10 books?

On BOTM? App? website?
on Goodreads? in this group? in a post?

I'm still looking
but one of the book clubs choose so I'm getting that one for sure

There are all good this month!!! it's going to be hard to pick. Oh wait I have two boxes, I can get them ALL!!! LOL

I see what you're saying Vicki, I got that as well , I was on my laptop. But if you go all the way down there are links, if you look under "Pick a Book" you will see there are the links for the other sections. I don't know why they did that maybe it's just this month but it is the first time I see the page this way.

Lucky!

@Elsa, they're back to the regular way no...thankfully!

I made my final decision. I'm getting these from my library:


From BOTM:

I was thinking about but it sounds a little to weird ? I can't wrap my head around the concept of the story. Has anyone read it?

box 1 I got



box 2

I was looking to see what you read in April and didn't see any folders for any books, Girl what happened last month.

lol I'm reading them this month!!😂🤣

I'll make threads later today!!

This was probably the quickest I picked my BOTM. I got as my main pick as it sounded really intriguing and I got as an add on because it sounded so good!!

no but I have it as an ARC so I'm definitely going to read it soon! (but probably not in time for you to pick it! lol)

YAY!! I know, this was a great month! so excited for my books to arrive!

I got , , and

I really wanted but I couldn't justify the extra money for those edges. I dont keep my books. I am, however, feeling severe guilt and FOMO right now 🤣. So i may end up breaking down next month. I wish they offered it as a regular book amd the option to pay more if you want thr sprayed edges....

What does everyone think about the sprayed edges? Do you want BOTM to offer more options like this?

I don't keep my books either but I do pass them on to an amazing Independent book store and I know they will love the sprayed edges!

I don't mind paying more, I'm just glad to not pay typical full price for hard copy! I know the sprayed edges are all the rage right now and they really can be beautiful. . .but yeah, I wish they offered both.

I love books that have special aesthetic qualities; however, I agree they should offer both for two reasons: some people might not like the special edges and some people are on a strict budget or just don't want to pay extra.

I Like the special aesthetic qualities , but I keep my books and let friends borrow them.

Has anyone gotten their copy of Silver Elite yet? How is the quality of the sprayed edges? I'm seeing mixed reviews online about it.

I received mine. I think it looks pretty good - but I didn't really get it for the edges and don't really keep books for edges so I might not be the best judge.

My order still shows as it's delayed and will be shipped between May 12 and May 14 which has passed! :( No books for me yet! I'm kind of bummed because they still say the same dates that it said the day I ordered them.

mine didn't update and then suddenly it was here!

they will keep an eye on it and will update with a "if you don't receive by xx date, please contact us and we'll send out a new box"

they are really good about making sure you get your books!

OK, thanks!
