SAVE $30: Book of the Month (BOTM) is running a Cyber Monday sale, saving you up to $30 on memberships with a coupon code. Plus, members get a free bonus book in their next box. See codes below.
If you’re struggling to find the perfect gift this holiday season, Book of the Month (BOTM) might be able to help.
BOTM is hosting a Cyber Monday sale where you can get a six-book membership for $89.99 (save $10) with the code MITTENS10 or a 12-book membership for $169.99 (save $30) with the code MITTENS30. Bonus deal: If you’re a current BOTM member, you’ll also get a free book in your next box as a nice little “thank you” for your continued support.
You can give BOTM as a gift in a few ways. You can buy the membership and have an email sent to the recipient, choose a fancy gift card they'll get by mail, or make a printable card to give them yourself.
If this is the first time you’ve heard about BOTM, let me fill you in. Book of the Month is a monthly book subscription service that's been around since 1926. (I’ve been a subscriber since 2021 and am a BFF Status member.) You can choose to pay monthly or annually, depending on your budget, and sign up for three-, six-, or 12-month memberships. There’s also no fee to pause your subscription, and you can cancel anytime.
Each month, you’ll get to choose one of five new book selections hand-picked by a team of experts. If you prefer audiobooks, you can also add an audiobook subscription. (The best subscription plan for this is the “2 credits per month” plan for $14.99 per credit.)
The longer you’re a member, the more perks you’ll get. For instance, my BFF Status got me a BOTM tote bag, a free birthday book, and one Book of the Year finalist for free. Plus, the books themselves are much cheaper than the retail price. The BOTM app gives you access to the Virtual Book Tour, which includes bookish discussions and author chats.
With the holidays around the corner, a BOTM subscription would make a great gift for the reader in your life, especially with this Cyber Monday sale.
