If I were still a member, my choice would have been The Magnolia Palace. I love historical fiction.

So far, I feel okay about canceling, but at the same time I know I’ll miss it.

My story is that I joined at the start of the pandemic when libraries were temporarily closed. BOTM provided a great price & safe opportunity to obtain new releases. My first selection was Valentine by Elizabeth Wetmore. I got the book when I was in lockdown after traveling for Spring Break & was away from my books. That book will always be special for that reason.

I had promised myself I would cancel as soon as libraries had reopened, but by then I was hooked! It was always fun seeing what the BOTM selections were each month.

After recently determining that not only was I able to, but indeed was getting the bulk of my books from the library (with the option of curbside service); including some of my favorites of 2021 that BOTM did not carry, I could no longer justify having the subscription.

I’ll continue to follow them though!
