Book of the Month March 2025 Selections

The Book of the Month March 2025 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 March 2025 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. (Note: They didn’t do the Book of the Year in 2023 so I’m not sure if they are still doing this bonus, though it is listed as a benefit on the website.) 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!

Recently, Book of the Month has started including audiobooks as another option for your monthly picks. Instead of choosing a hardcover copy, you can choose one of these audiobooks as your main selection this month.

March’s Audiobooks:

Sometimes, it happens. If none of the March 2025 Book of the Month selections are calling your name, don’t despair. After your third box, you now have another option!

Previously, if you didn’t love the five choices, you would have to skip the whole month. Now if you have BFF status, you can choose a member fave hardcover for your monthly box and then add-on up to four more books if you choose.

Member Faves:

Book of the Month also includes a few extra releases on top of their monthly selections. Once you have picked your main selection, you can choose to add-on these new books (or any past release) to your box. 

March’s New Books:

Every year, Book of the Month subscribers vote on the best book of the year. When the winner is announced, you get to add one of the finalists to your box for free. They used to announce the Book of the Year in December but a last year they started pushing the selection to the following Spring.

The God of the Woods

Book of the Year Finalists:

The little birds have hinted that Count My Lies will be Good Morning America’s book club pick for March so I thought I’d give it a try. I have only read one mystery so far this year, so fingers crossed this will be a good one. I’m getting The Housemaid meets Lisa Jewell vibes from the book description.

Lastly, the Book of the Year winner was announced this month. Since I’ve been a member so long, I get a free copy of one of the Book of the Year finalists. I already own three of the five books, I’m left to choose between a necromancer fantasy and feminist historical drama. If you know me, you won’t be surprised that I went with The Lion Women of Tehran.
