Page 1 Books Reviews

It's been a year and every month has been fantastic! I asked for a certain genre, and they totally nailed it with the selections. Page 1 is my favorite!

I just wrapped up a 6-month subscription with Page 1 and I absolutely enjoyed it - just renewed for a whole year. I haven't gotten to all 6 books yet (one - Krampus - I'm saving for the holidays this winter), but the ones I've read were right on point with my preferences, and except for one, they were titles I hadn't even considered. There was one time they sent me a book that I had JUST picked up while on vacation. I reached out to them, and they quickly sent me another choice (which I adored) and I donated the duplicate to my local Free Little Library. It's such a delightful surprise every month - I can't wait to see what they have in store for me this coming year!

The latest book I got was intriguing, but man, it took a while to get going. I'm still working on getting into it. On the flip side, the first book I received back in January through this subscription has me completely captivated, and I'm diving into the rest of the series! Who knew I’d be so into steampunk fantasy? I really loved it! My second book was also a blast; the time period was just fantastic! As for the third book, it was enjoyable too, especially the fairy tale twist!

I really enjoyed the first book I picked up - A Winter's Promise from the Mirror Visitor series. It had all the elements I appreciate - endearing characters and some you just love to despise, a solid storyline, and detailed world creation. I'm absolutely planning to dive into the other books in this series. Can't wait to check out my new read for this month!

This subscription is hands down my top pick. I set aside money for it just like I do for my rent and food. I fly through the books, but every single one is just what I’d choose for myself! The extra goodies and the way it’s wrapped are delightful bonuses! Page One is the best!

I thought my package would take ages to get here since it was sent via Media Mail. To my surprise, it showed up really fast! On the downside, my book had a bit of a rough trip. The box was damaged when it got to me. But Ryan stepped in and offered excellent customer support, and we figured out a fix. As for the book they picked for me, Peter Heller's The Guide, I couldn't be happier. I truly loved the narrative, Heller's unique style, and how I could relate to the main character, Jack. Can't wait to keep this subscription going!

I can't contain my excitement! Just got my first box after signing up for a three-month subscription. The book they chose was totally new to me, but it felt like it was made just for my taste, and I'm itching to dive into it. I'm a big fan of mysteries and Jane Austen, so this was just awesome, plus the game was a delightful little extra surprise!

Initial Package: The Searcher by Tana French... I'm a big fan of Tana French, so I thought this would be a solid pick. I came across numerous reviews claiming that this one didn’t quite measure up to her previous books, and I’d have to say I’m on the same page. It was a decent read and fun, but it just lacked the same draw as her Dublin Murder Squad series.

Joined Page1 with a bit of hesitation...how could a stranger send me something I'd actually enjoy, considering my wildly varied book tastes? They pulled it off. I haven't cracked it open yet, but it's from a favorite author (who I didn't even mention in my sign-up), three connected novels bundled together (totally worth the cost), and some fascinating themes tied to what's happening now. Kudos! I'm excited for the next delivery.

I signed up for the six-month plan and was really happy with how it turned out. I swapped out just one book; the rest were enjoyable or I'm looking forward to diving into, even if I wouldn't have chosen them on my own. I also found the accidental (or was it?) greenish hues on the book covers quite charming... If you're a selective reader like me, make sure to be super clear about what you like when you sign up and keep in touch with the team as you progress.

The initial book I got in my subscription box was totally new to me, and it’s turned into one of my top picks. The next book just showed up, and it looks like it’s gonna be a great fit too! I can’t wait to discover what else Page1 has lined up for me. This is hands down the best subscription box I’ve ever purchased.

I’ve got some mixed thoughts on 'Bluff' by Jane Stanton Hitchcock. The storyline was fantastic, and the writing really kept me hooked. But, I wasn’t a fan of the frequent crude language that popped up. I tried to overlook it, but it still lingers in my mind, and that’s not cool. Just keep these feelings in mind for the next book you send my way. Thanks a bunch! Alice

Generally, I've gotten books that I truly liked diving into, but the first and last ones I got were just terrible. The latest book? Not even a proper novel; it was a twist on classic characters and authors... presented in text message style. Not at all what I was looking for. The bummer is that when you end up with a dud like that, it feels like a whole month wasted, if you catch my drift. Still, like I mentioned, most of the books I've picked up have been quite enjoyable.

I was a bit anxious about them choosing a book that I'd really enjoy, since I often struggle to find ones I truly like. But guess what? The first book I received is just amazing! I can't wait to wrap it up and I'm even more pumped for the next box. I'm thinking of getting a subscription for my sister too and extending my own!

Thanks a ton, Page1!!!

I got my first box and honestly, I wasn't too thrilled with what they picked out. However, true to their word, once I contacted them, they really stepped up to ensure I was satisfied. They quickly replied to my emails and asked the right questions to improve the selection. Today, I received my book replacement and I'm really enjoying their choice. I’d definitely recommend them, and hats off to their customer service!
