Independent Bookstore Subscriptions

The Book Drop Offers a Curated Set of Books Each Month

— February 14, 2017 — Lifestyle
The Book Drop is a subscription service that is focused solely on providing consumers with riveting reads each month.

Book lovers will enjoy this service as it "brings the independent bookstore to you," according to the brand's website. The Book Drop chooses a new read each month, which is decided upon by those who run the business. While the service is more expensive than purchasing books online might be, it makes for a unique experience and forces people to explore new authors and expand their worldviews as a result. The subscriptions are customized based on the preferences of the subscriber and occasionally come along with an autographed copy of the book, or a signed bookplate from the author.

This service is ideal for individuals who enjoy reading and would like to find ways to turn it into a new experience.
