Book of the Month February 2016 Subscription Box Review + Coupon Code Book of the Month is a monthly book subscription service. Each month their panel of Judges selects a limited number of exceptional books to offer to their members. They announce their New Selections on the first of the month, and members have six days to decide which book (or books) they would like to receive. They ship books to all of their members at the same time, so members can read and participate in their discussion forum as a group.

Book of the Month ships via USPS on the 6th day of each month.

My February 2016 Book of the Month selection was as follows:

~Only Love Can Break Your Heart by Ed Tarkington (Judge: Liberty Hardy) (Amazon Price: $17.74): Only Love Can Break Your Heart is a coming of base novel based in the 1970’s and 1980’s.  It’s a murder mystery / love story in one. I haven’t gotten too deep into it yet, but I have found the first few chapters intriguing.

From Book of the Month:
Neil Young’s hit 1970s song about love, loneliness and heartbreak lends its title to this wonderful coming-of-age novel. It’s the perfect namesake for Ed Tarkington’s story about all kinds of love, and learning that the things you think you understand when you are a child, may not have been what they seemed at the time.

1977: The narrator, an eight-year-old boy named Rocky, lives in a small Virginia town and and worships his teenage half brother, Paul. When Paul does something unforgivable and disappears, his abrupt departure wreaks havoc on the family.

1984: Rocky, now fifteen years old, is enjoying the perfect summer. But faces – and stories – from the past are about to change all that. And Rocky will learn that first love and familial love are more complicated than he had imagined.

Book of the Month does a fantastic job with their selections each month and I am already looking forward to seeing what the March options are!  Also, the price point on this box is spot on.  It’s hard to complete with Amazon prices, but this box does it!

If you are interested in subscribing to Book of the Month you can get signed up now and get one of the February options as your first book (selections have been extended through Feb. 15th)!   Also, make sure to use coupon code “BOOK15” to get a 3-month Book of the Month membership for just $8.99/month!
