For the Book Collector: Book of the Month

Book of the Month

No one can deny that eReaders are the easiest way to consume bulky tomes like War & Peace, but for those who prefer physical books, the Book of the Month subscription box is the gift that keeps on giving. Every month, the service picks five of the latest and greatest titles to hit the shelves that month; from there, you’ll choose the one that looks the best, and it’ll arrive on your doorstep shortly after.

The service also understands that life gets busy; whenever you decide you need a little more time to finish your last book, you can pause the subscription for a month and resume it once you’re all caught up. Books span a variety of genres, and past selections have featured Everything We Didn’t Say by Nicole Baart, Half Sick of Shadows by Laura Sebastian, Win Me Something by Kyle Lucia Wu, The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid, The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab, and Circe by Madeline Miller.

For the Digital Reader: Kindle Paperwhite

Not everyone is into physical books, and that’s fine. If you prefer to enjoy your reads in digital form, the Kindle Paperwhite offers you all the features you could hope for in an eReader. You’ll have plenty of room to store thousands of your favorite books, as it includes 8GB of storage, plus it’s slim enough to throw in your purse or bag so you can take it with you on the go.

The 6.8-inch display has thinner borders and 20% faster page turns than its predecessor, as well as a 300ppi glare-free display that looks like actual paper even when you’re reading outside in the sun. Adjustable warm light keeps your eyes comfy and happy while you read, and you can shift it from bright white to a cozy amber as needed. It’s even water-resistant, so feel free to read poolside. Battery lasts up to 10 weeks per charge, and you can even pair it with Audible and a Bluetooth speaker when you want to listen to your story (like while you’re cooking or cleaning).

For the Audiobook Lover: Audible

Audible is the easiest way to enjoy audiobooks or, as we mentioned above, listen to your story when you’re not in the mood to read it. The service requires a monthly subscription but includes a free 30-day trial and gives you access to thousands of great stories across every imaginable genre, from science fiction and classic literature to education and self-development. There are even titles your kids will like, such as the Harry Potter series, Percy Jackson, and classic books.

You can browse titles by genre, author, language, duration, customer rating, bestseller charts, and release date, so it shouldn’t take you long to find a new favorite.  It’s also host to various popular podcasts, like Today, Explained from Vox, Lore by Aaron Mahnke, and Stuff You Should Know by iHeartRadio. Audible has tons of fun options that’ll keep your entire family entertained well beyond the holidays all year round.

Keep Your Place: Library Card Bookmark

Instead of dog-earing your books or trying to remember what page you’re on, get a bookmark! And while you’re at it, make it a cool one like these, from BookEphemera, which look like the vintage checkout cards that public libraries put in the back of each book. Each bookmark says “The Public Library” and features other fun details like four columns for checkout and return dates and a variety of other library-centric details.

You have four color options to choose from—yellow, orange, brown, or blue. There’s even an option to customize the bookmark for a few dollars extra. Here, you’ll have the ability to add a name and date to the bookmark, which is a fun way to add a personalized touch. Customization is only available in red ink, though. The bookmark measures 5.6 inches x 2 inches and is printed on uncoated premium cream paper, so it’ll hold up book after book (after book).

Get Cozied Up: A Knit Blanket

Make your reading experience better by cozying up with a soft knit blanket.

Sip While You Read: Sips by Tea Subscription

Having a hot cup of tea by your side is a critical part of the cozy reading experience, so make sure you’ve always got some to steep. With a Sips by Tea Subscription, you’ll get four different types of tea sent to your doorstep every month. That’ll give you enough to make at least 16 cups and try a few new kinds (from over 150 global tea brands) while you’re at it.

The subscription box is personalized to your tastes. You’ll take a short quiz before signing up that’ll help the service better determine which teas to send your way. You get to say whether you prefer your tea loose leaf or bagged, with or without caffeine, with added flavors, and even which types of tea you’re open to. Cheers to that!

Set Your Drink Down: Horror Book Coasters

Four-pack of coasters themed after classic Gothic horror book covers.

Once your tea is steeped, you’ll need somewhere to set your mug down between sips, like a cute coaster. This clever four-pack of coasters is themed after classic Gothic horror book covers and makes for the perfect bookish touch for your home’s book nook.

The titles featured are Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, Bram Stoker’s Dracula, Washington Irving’s The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, and Robert Louis Stevenson’s Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. If you’re a fan of these classic tales, these bold and colorful coasters are a must-have. They’re sealed with a glossy resin that’s heat-resistant and waterproof, so they’ll hold up to years of hot mugs and accidental tea spills.
