Book enthusiasts can be hard to buy for. Unless you know exactly which books they want or if they’re a fan of store-bought bookmarks, you never really know if what you’re giving them is something they’ll enjoy. At all other times of the year, that’s a manageable risk. But during the holidays? That’s your biggest worry.
Whether you’re looking to treat yourself this holiday season or give the gift of literature to someone else, either of Quarterly.co’s literary subscription box offerings would make for a wonderful present. Plus, they have a special deal for Cyber Monday!
About Quarterly.co’s literary subscription boxes
Unfamiliar with Quarterly.co’s book-centric subscription box services? Both of them are pretty awesome. It just depends on what sorts of books you’re looking for. That will determine which box you should go with!
The first box offering is the Literary Young Adult Box (which we’ve actually reviewed before). Each box features a brand new YA novel and is curated by that novel’s author. Past curating authors include Beth Revis (author of A World Without You and Across the Universe), and Brit Bennett, one of the most highly-anticipated debut authors this year.
In addition to the new YA novel, the curating author includes two other novels in the box that complement or inspired their own, as well as a few bookish goodies that directly relate to the featured novel. Best of all, the new novel is annotated by the author, giving the reader an interesting insight into the novel and the author’s writing process.
Quarterly.co’s other book subscription box offering is the Literary Fiction Box. The contents of the box are chosen in the same manner as the Literary Young Adult Box, with an author of an upcoming novel curating the items. The difference with this box is, instead of focusing on YA novels, this box has an emphasis on adult fiction novels.
Unlike other services, these literary subscription boxes ship out quarterly rather than monthly, which means each box is filled to the brim with items meant to tide the recipient over for three months until the next box. And, with three books being shipped out in each subscription box, you’ll have just enough time to finish reading the books from the current box before the next one arrives.
Both the Literary Young Adult and the Literary Fiction subscription box services are $50 per box (per quarter) plus shipping, which is quite a steal if you consider how jam-packed each box is. Plus, good news for book lovers outside of the United States: Quarterly.co ships internationally!
Quarterly.co has a Cyber Monday special!
But, being that it’s Cyber Monday, Quarterly.co has a pretty great deal you won’t want to miss!
Be one of the first 200 people to purchase a gift subscription for either Literary box this Cyber Monday and they’ll gift you with a bonus annotated book. You can decide whether you want to keep the book for yourself or send it to the person you bought the subscription for. If you decide to send the book along, you can rest assured that they’ll receive it in time for the holidays!
Curious which books are up for grabs as free gifts? Gift subscriptions for the Literary Fiction box will come with a copy of Only Love Can Break Your Heart by Ed Tarkington and gift subscriptions for the Literary Young Adult box will come with Willful Machines by Tim Floreen. Both novels are chock full of insightful notes and annotations that you won’t be able to find anywhere else.
So how exactly can you get your hands on these extra annotated books? Enter code BOOKGIFT at checkout and Quarterly.co will take it from there. It’s as easy as that. From there, all you have to do is sit back, relax, and wait for the first box of the subscription to ship out in January 2017 (curating author TBA).
Whether you’re shopping for a loved one or you’re just looking to treat yourself a little bit this Cyber Monday, be sure to check out the literary subscription box offerings from Quarterly.co. They’re the perfect presents for the book-lover in your life because they’re the gifts that just keep on giving.
