mer reads | guide to book of the month // IS BOOK OF THE MONTH WORTH IT, the BEST book of the month books + more @merreads | Uploaded April 2021 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
Hi booktube! Today’s video is all about Book of the Month. Book of the Month is a SUPER popular book subscription box on booktube, so I wanted to see… is book of the month ACTUALLY worth it? In this video, I answer this question honestly. I show you how the books from BOTM differ from a typical book retailer’s edition, as well as talk about a TON of book of the month’s features, including BFF rewards, their book club service, and their mobile app! I also talk about every single 2020 book of the month book selection that I’ve read so that you know what the BEST book of the month book selections are.
That’s not all this video covers though… I also discuss four of these books in-depth, including The Death of Vivek Oji, Mexican Gothic, Leave the World Behind, and Memorial through reading vlog portions. I also do a cost comparison of BOTM to Amazon and Barnes and Noble to answer the question “is book of the month worth it?”... Stay tuned to find out my answer!

As a reader, booktube is my go-to place for book recommendations and book reviews. I absolutely LOVE creating and watching reading vlogs to help me find new books to read. Today’s video is all about Book of the Month, or a popular book subscription service that lets you pick between 5 brand new releases every month for a discounted price of 14.99. In this video, I analyze the book subscription service and ask “is book of the month worth it?” I wanted to make this video as book of the month is talked about super frequently on booktube. I remember being overwhelmed with information about it when I first created my booktube channel, so I wanted to make this guide so that YOU had the most information before signing up for the subscription box! I hope you find it helpful and that you enjoy book of the month if you sign up for the service.
