There is nothing quite like the exciting suspense of arriving home to a cardboard box on your doorstep, not knowing what's inside. Sure, sometimes it turns out to be that pack of sponges that you forgot about Amazon Prime-ing last week . . . but other times, it's a parcel filled with books, edible goodies, and fun products. Or, in any case, it could be if you check out our list of literary subscription boxes.
POPSUGAR's own monthly subscription delivery service often features books (like Lisa Sugar's Power Your Happy or Chrissy Teigen's fabulous cookbook), but if you're craving more page-turners then you've got plenty of options. Bookworms, grab your wallets; these magical subscriptions will fill your bookshelves — and your hearts — with joy.
