These Book Subscription Boxes Bring the Library Right to Your Door

Trying to read more, but not sure where to start? There are amazing new works released every week—and a book subscription box may be just the way to connect you with them. These boxes, typically sent on a monthly basis, deliver an array of curated picks based on the genres you love—from YA, to steamy romance, and even some of Oprah's favorites.

In addition to providing cutting-edge reads, these book subscription boxes usually contain other goodies, ranging from coffee beans to self-care products, depending on the one you choose. Some aim to broaden readers' minds: The Alignist, a news-focused box created by journalist Beenish Ahmed, includes a supplemental lesson. Others make ideal companions for kids.

Further, many of these memberships allow you to join online book clubs, so you can chat about that mystery you couldn't put down or that fantasy novel that swept you away. And who can resist a special delivery on their doorstep every once in a while—especially one you can head up to the bubble bath with?

So, for the next special occasion—or just because!—treat yourself (or your favorite book lover) to this truly enjoyable literary gift.
