We want every monthly delivery to feel like a treat. If you've already read the book we've chosen, simply let us know and we'll include an additional book in your next box at no extra cost.

Monthly Book Subscription FAQs
How is every book chosen?
Every month, we personally review new releases, Irish authors and bestselling fiction before selecting books for our subscription boxes. Every title is chosen because we think our subscribers will enjoy it.
Why are your book choices different?
Every book is chosen by a real reader. We carefully consider quality, genre, current releases and customer preferences before deciding what goes into each box.
Why do you include artisan Irish gifts?
We wanted every delivery to feel like opening a beautifully wrapped gift rather than simply receiving a book in the post. That's why each box includes artisan Irish chocolate and a carefully chosen gift from an Irish business.
What if I've already read the book?
If you've already read our selection, just contact us and we'll include another book in your next box at no extra cost. You don't need to return the original book.
When will my first subscription box ship?
Subscription boxes are shipped from Waterford on the 1st of each month. If the 1st of the month falls on a weekend or bank holiday, your box will be shipped on the next working day.
Need your first box sooner? Simply reply to your order confirmation email or contact us, and we'll arrange this for you.
When is the monthly subscription cut off?
To receive our next subscription box, just subscribe by the final day of the previous month. For example, subscribe by 31 July to receive the August box, or by 30 September to receive the October box
When will my payment be processed?
Your first payment is taken when you place your order. After that, your subscription automatically renews every 30 days until you pause or cancel it.
Can I pause, change, or cancel my subscription?
Absolutely! You're always in control of your subscription. You can pause it, change your payment date, update your preferred genres or cancel at any time through your account. Prefer us to do it for you? Contact us and we'll happily take care of it. There is no notice period on our standard monthly subscription.
Can I send the first box to myself and the remaining boxes to the recipient?
Of course! Simply place your order using your own address so the first box is delivered to you. When you're ready, you can change the delivery address in your account for the remaining boxes, or just reply to your confirmation email or contact us and we'll take care of it for you. The rest of the subscription will then be sent straight to the recipient.
Is there a voucher I can give to the recipient?
Yes. Your confirmation email includes a link to a printable e-voucher. If you would prefer a printed gift voucher, just reply to your confirmation email or contact us after placing your order and we’ll happily post one to you or directly to the recipient.
Is this monthly subscription suitable as a gift?
Yes, it is a wonderful gift to receive. A monthly book subscription is a lovely gift for birthdays, retirements, thank-yous, milestones or simply to let someone know you are thinking of them. Leave your message in the cart and our team will write it by hand for you.
Will the receipt or price be included in the box?
No. Your receipt is emailed directly to you, and we never include prices, receipts or invoices inside any of our subscription or gift boxes.

Got my first monthly book box this month and love it! First of all I signed up a couple of days before due date (on a Wednesday), my order was shipped that Friday and I received it Monday (I live in Dublin). I was really happy with the book choice and with the quality of items! And getting a bookish box in the post is the best feeling!!😍
Book choice was on point this

Book choice pick was on point.Loved the book .Read within a week and a bit.Also loved the chocolate.No fault with anything
I have been getting the book resort monthly subscription for about a year now and it's one of the things I most look forward to receiving. Each month a great book is received, delicious chocolate and a lovely small gift. The book have always varied which I love so you never get bored. Some books have even been new releases like Bride from Ali Hazelwood.

I really love my monthly subscription box! Its such a nice treat to come home to at the end of a working day ❤️
I love my monthly subscription box! I've really enjoyed all the books and little surprises I've received so far!!! I'm addicted and can’t wait to see what will arrive in the box next month 🫶🙂
Book Resort is fantastic! My mother in law loves the books and the special treats that come with the order!
I really enjoyed the book! And the treat :)
The chocolate being from Cavan was a big hit
For me everything comes down to the cost of convenience. The book and treats, assembled, packaged and then delivered on time every time make this excellent value for money, compared to doing it myself. And the swap guarantee is a top class promise, that we've never had to use.
A lovely service with a surprise every month! I got my first ever book box this month, and I was pleasantly surprised. I selected a book by an Irish author and also received some nice gifts, like a shower gel and delicious chocolate. Definitely worth the money, and I can't wait for my next box!
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're so happy you are enjoying your subscription 📚✨
Look forward to my surprise gifts every month and cheers me up.
Thank you for your lovely review
! We're so happy our monthly surprises brighten your day. Can’t wait to send you more! 🎁😊
Just the pick me up you need at the start of the month
The delivery was late because of bad weather and Aisling was super helpful helping me locate it. I love the little irsh sayings that come on the boxes. Every month is a little treat to myself, this month I got some really nice handcream with the box. Chocolate and a good book, match made in heaven.
So happy to help you anytime Lauren. Delighted you love the Irish sayings on the boxes - we have some new ones coming in the next couple of weeks too . Thank you so much for the lovely review 💕
Fabulous as always. The beginning of each month is always that bit more exciting knowing a new book is on the way!
So happy to hear that you love your monthly book subscription. Thank you for all of the support 💕
On time, beautifully wrapped and a real surprise for my wife and a present that will be for the year
I love getting my monthly book.
So look forward to receiving my package. It’s a treat to myself each month and part of my self care. Wonderful to sneak off with my chocolate and book and have some quality time to myself.
