Content Warning
These are spicy book boxes which means our editions will occasionally include varying levels of NSFW artwork on the internal pages, back endpages or as an additional art print.
We will let you know in the author announcement if there will be NSFW artwork included.
How our subscriptions work
Each subscription is billed every two months on a fixed schedule, based on the box you choose:
- Fantasy Romance and Contemporary Romance months are: January, March, May, July, September and November
- Dark Romance months are: February, April, June, August, October and December.
Your subscription payment covers one box at a time.
When you sign up, your first payment will be made immediately. Renewal payments will be scheduled for 2pm AEST on the 1st of the month your box is scheduled for (for example, February boxes are billed on 1 February).
Bi-monthly means every two months.
Each subscription renews six times per year, once for each box in its schedule.
Yes. You can subscribe to any combination of Fantasy, Dark and Contemporary.
Each box is carefully curated so that there is never any overlap of titles between them.
We announce the featured author and book in the middle of the month prior to the renewal month, typically between the 15th and 18th.
For example, the March box is revealed in mid-February. This gives subscribers time to see the upcoming selection before renewal payments are processed on the 1st.
Yes. After the author reveal, we share the main dust jacket and sprayed edges before renewal payments are processed.
This usually happens about a week after the initial author announcement.
The rest of the design details are revealed when your box arrives on your doorstep, so there are still a few surprises to discover.
No. Subscriptions are ongoing book boxes that renew automatically.
Our exclusive editions can be preordered but are sold separately.
Subscribers receive 24-hour early access and a 10% discount on all exclusive editions during the early access window, but these editions are not included in subscriptions.
Some editions may include NSFW artwork on internal pages, back endpages, or as an additional art print.
We will let you know in the author announcement if there will be NSFW artwork included.
Skipping a box
We know that sometimes a book just isn't for you, or life gets in the way.
Skips are designed to give you flexibility while keeping subscriptions fair for everyone.
You can skip up to 3 boxes within a 12-month period (3 out of 6 per subscription year) and no more than 3 boxes in a row without losing your subscription spot:
- Your subscription year starts with the first box you receive.
For example, if you first receive a July box, your skip allowance will reset every July.
- To be fair to all our customers, skipping more than 3 boxes in a row—even if that crosses into your next subscription year—will result in the cancellation of your subscription so spots can be opened for others.
- Skips are here to give you flexibility and control over your subscription.
If you ever have any questions or need help managing your skips, just email us at admin@bookishandspice.com.au
