Book of the Month July 2026 Selections

The Book of the Month July 2026 selections are here! Decide which of these books you want to add to your subscription box.

Book of the Month is my favorite subscription box. Every month, I choose between their curated book selections, and voila! A blue box arrives at my door carrying one (or two or three) new books for me to read.

Each month, Book of the Month chooses between five to seven hardcover books you can choose from. Rather listen to an audiobook? Book of the Month has those, too! Now you can opt for audiobooks as your monthly pick or add them on at any time during the month.

Every month, I will highlight the books chosen and let you know my thoughts on the chosen titles. 

Even if you don’t have a Book of the Month subscription (yet), I think you’ll find value in looking at a curated list of new releases.

Keep scrolling to see all the details about the Book of the Month July 2026 selections and to find out which one I’m adding to my subscription box.

Book of the Month is a monthly subscription book service highly popular among the book community. Trust me, once you try it, you’ll be hooked.

How it Works

Each month, a panel of judges chooses at least five books for you to choose from. The Book of the Month selections cover different genres and are always special edition hardcovers. Often, the chosen books haven’t been published yet, so you get to be one of the first people to read them.

At the beginning of the month, you choose one book to add to your box and shortly thereafter the little blue box arrives at your door. If you aren’t loving any of the selected books, you just skip that month and your credits will just roll over to the next month. Or, after your third box, you can choose from five member favorite books for your month’s selection instead.

On the other hand, if you want more than one book, once you’ve chosen your initial book, you can add-on up to four additional books at a discounted rate. These add-ons can be from the current month’s selection, be favorites from previous months, or be new releases specially included in the add-on catalog.

Book of the Month runs two different pricing plans. On the monthly plan, you get one credit a month for $17. If you are willing to pay upfront, the yearly plan gives you 12 credits for $168, which averages out to $14 a book. For a hardcover new release, both prices are a steal.

Even better, when you include additional books into your box, they are only $10 each! 

Book of the Month also offers 3, 6, and 9-month gift cards if you are considering purchasing it as a gift.

For new subscribers, Book of the Month’s homepage almost always has a special offer to get your first book for $10. But I can do you one better. If you are interested in joining, you can use this Book of the Month Club referral link to get your first book for $5 right now!

But wait, there’s more! Once you’ve chosen your 12th book from Book of the Month, you join the BFF club and get a special Book of the Month tote.

After that, you’ll get a free add-on every year for your birthday month. Plus, when the end of the year rolls around, you get one of the top 5 Book of the Month selections from the year for free. That’s an additional two books each year for no additional cost.

What are you waiting for? Join Book of the Month and get your first book at a discounted price!

I’ve done an excellent job of whittling away the books on my nightstand so I decided it was time to add a few more. Read with Jenna’s book club already chose The Shampoo Effect as its July pick. I enjoyed Jenny Jackson’s Pineapple Street and felt she held a lot of promise so I’m intrigued to see what she does with her new book.

Recently, I read Jane Austen’s Persuasion for a family book club and I was not very impressed with the placid heroine. However, my brother-in-law adores the book and reads it every year. When I saw that Worse Than Strangers is a modern adaptation of Persuasion, I knew I had to purchase it. I plan to read it and take notes and then surprise my brother-in-law with it.
