Laura P.
Vary varied and books that I wouldn’t normally choose.
Sarah P.
Looks really varied and not what I'd choose myself, which is exactly what I'm after!
Sarah J.
My favourite thing about the box is that I receive books that I would probably never choose myself and am therefore broadening my reading options. It's great to read new authors too
Shirley J.
I like not knowing what books are coming and then reading something I might not have chosen to read.
Trudy L.
Currently reading The Hidden Legacy by GJ Minett.
Great book so far lots of twists and can't wait to get to the end to find out all the links.
Lisa D.
Books looked good and a lot of choice I wouldn’t of picked them at a shop the only thing would be I was expecting a better 5 book but I haven’t read any yet as currently trying to finish the last box and my tbr
Abbie M.
So excited to get reading them! I also received a free 5th book too! It is always something to look forward to.
Alison G.
As a lover of a brand new book I really find I'm looking forward to my Box of Stories every couple of months. So far, after three boxes, each book has been brilliant
Shoana D.
It was very diverse in topics. I had books I never would’ve thought to be buy and I enjoyed them more than I thought I would.
Nancy J.
ABoS is a must for all avid readers. It is such good value for money and is a great way to read more books and discover amazing authors you wouldn't ordinary here of, without the effort of scrolling Amazon or trawling the internet. A good range of books as well!
Amber H.
It's nice to be surprised
Katherine M.
The variety of books looked great, the covers were very attractive and I an very excited to read then!
Malcolm W.
I loved that I was introduced to new books by authors (new to me).
This was then followed by the quality of the writing.
Of the books I have received so far,I can honestly say I have enjoyed every one.
When I receive each parcel I am genuinely excited to see what joys are within.
Abby S.
I love receiving my box of stories book selection! It’s really helping to broaden my reading spectrum
Lisa G.
Like having different books but I am not really my type of read that I received mostly political with I am not keen and wars which I prefer not to read. I do like a good romcom style of book or sci-fi.
Sarah L.
Good range of books
Katie F.
Great mixture of books I hadn’t heard of before.
Joanna B.
Looks like less frothy tat than before.
Denisa G.
A great selection of books on different topics and genres, combining easy reads together with books that take me out of my comfort zone and push me to think about important topics.
Toni W.
I love every single box
Fiona C.
Great selection this month and an extra.
Lisa D.
I like the look of the books however it seemed a lot of crime in it but I haven’t read any of the books yet
Emily J.
Less recent history I like fantasy history or romance history. Not wolrd war or that deep stuff
Tania L.
Box of stories is brilliant. I can read books I have never heard of before and share with others
David W.
I love the mystery of what you might get. I am intrigued by all 4 titles.
Pam M.
No suggestions, it’s been a lovely gift and I’ve really enjoyed books I’d perhaps never have known about.
Elliott C.
I'm really happy with the my first box and excited to see what comes next! The level of input into setting my tastes and providing feedback has been perfect. No criticism really, just a very satisfied customer. Will be recommending to anyone who will listen!
Lisa R.
One of the books had damage but it's being rectified
Nancy W.
This was the best set of books I have received so far, I have still to read Shocked. I would be quite interested to try books that are set within different cultures.
David W.
I love the mystery of what you might get. I am intrigued by all 4 titles.
Bonelle .
I wouldn’t have bought any of these books had I been browsing in a bookstore. This is why I love abos as it gives me different authors I’ve not heard of to read. So far have enjoyed all I’ve read .

Rebecca T.
Absolutely love my surprise books in every box, but for me it seems there is a geographical theme, a lot of my books seem to be based away from home (Africa, Asia etc.) which is nice and different for a change but I am looking forward to potentially receiving some more stories focused closer to home :)
Denise H.
This is a great concept - I actually love the idea of having books presented to me without me having to go through the rigmarole of making a choice. It helps me to try authors that I haven't heard of or considered, and opens my mind to new things - getting me out of my comfort zone! If I find a book is not for me, at least I tried it, and I know plenty of people I can pass it on to. Thank you!
Chris B.
Loved getting the graphic novel, happy to get more. Rest of the box was pretty good, smoke eaters is kinda thing, great box.
Jenni Q.
Nothing I can add...the books are amazing quality and gets me to read something different
Jo W.
Thank you for keeping existing prices, I was looking to reduce the frequency of boxes and don't need to now
Heather D.
I find the Sci fi and fantasy boxes are much more sci fi than fantasy. A more even split would be better I think.
Emma W.
Movie tie in books seem like a strange thing to include as whether people enjoy it might depend on if they’ve seen the movie
Asma A.
I have decided to unsubscribe as so far I haven’t really lived any of the books I have received, plus I prefer to browse bookshops and discover new books myself.
Helen F.
If you can with sequels, send the 1st one first. I have just read the 1st in the series, having read the 2nd from you last year
Rebekah S.
Another great box and I've really enjoyed all my boxes so far. Really looking forward to these
Kara M.
I’d prefer the genres in the fiction box to be more diverse
Alison G.
Really delighted with the box and almost finished one which is lying next to me in 3 days!
Claire W.
Keep up the good work - love it! And really appreciate the price freeze x
Sue B.
4 random books is always going to result in surprises, sometimes good sometimes not, but it is such a delight to read a book I would never choose myself and thoroughly enjoy it
Susan C.
The Chimera Code had to be my favourite book out of my first box
Maggie H.
Im happy so far. Nice to try new books. I love fantasy drama books. So nice to read others and see how i get on.

Gulru G.
I loved reading 3 of the 4 books. The last one, Sea Breeze is not the genre that I would normally read. Is it possible for me to request that chick-flick books not be included?
Ryan M.
Loved the variation, looking forward to reading.
Rosie-Mae K.
You could always ask what genre people would like in their fiction box . Just so that the person can at least get a couple of books that they may read
Jemma C.
There were two books in this month's box that I would consider 'chick lit' and light reading which isn't what I want from my box. I didn't enjoy them
Rebecca .
The price hike is going to make me stop my subscription
Katherine M.
I absolutely love the boxes. They have really got me back into reading. Thank you
Ryan M.
Loved the variation, looking forward to reading.
Kirsty .
I love how every book has a separate narrative. Not all about one type of focus like a unhinged assistant.
Carolyn P.
I really love your book boxes, they honestly make my day
Zoe L.
Love the boxes I have received so far
Sheryl R.
Receiving books I’ve never heard of, which can be good in a way! But for the price they could be more recent published books. As the price is going up I will be cancelling my subscription, they’re just not worth the money
Gemma G.
Love it but price hike is a concern
Naomi B.
I found a few of the books in this box a little "out there" for example lord valentines castle was less science fiction and more sort of thrillerish. I'm not sure how to describe it really. I felt like maybe it didn't belong with the other collection of stories I was sent.
Naomi S.
It was so exciting to recieve!
Eimear A.
Such a great idea and a great first box. Have read ‘Eyes Like Mine’ already and really enjoyed it. Looking forward to reading the rest and can’t wait to receive my next box!
Lydia B.
Really enjoyed this first box and excited to read the books
Benjamin Q.
The books where good. However when I "zapped "out genres (romance / chick lit for me) it would be nice to have this listed on my abos account when I log on. Just for clarification that it registered my choices.
Tc A.
More box categories would be great, and maybe more than two options for indicating which subgenres are an absolute no.
Raven S.
I really loved it.
Anne K.
I love your boxes and can't think of anything to improve them!!
Alan F.
Love the idea of random books by authors I would not normally buy
Josephine E.
This survey didn't match all of the books I received
Claire B.
The books in general are a good mix of titles, however there are two thriller style books in there which is a bit repetitive and I don't actually like thrillers as it means I can't sleep! However I have started reading closer than you think and it is compelling so far. Excited to read the others when I get to them
Jo W.
None, I think it's a really well managed and run subscription and I live being a member of the community
Emma R.
More horror for me please
Malcolm W.
Keep on doing what you're doing.
Kathryn P.
Nope! I love what you're doing!!
Anne K.
Excellent boxes! I love them.
George L.
Best box yet, it was perfect and I am pleased I went for sci-fi/fantasy box
Kirstie .
Love the packaging and the books I received this month all seem to be themes I'll enjoy!
Christine H.
Love the idea of this, always buy so many books and these were all great options that I hadn't heard of or seen before.
Sarah F.
Option to select specific genres rather than ticking only two genres you don’t want to read
Charlotte S.
I prefer more light heart fiction or fantasy but I love to fund different books to read
Danielle G.
I’ve never been disappointed with a box yet. I love the variety I get with every one. Thank you!
Charlotte S.
I prefer more light heart fiction or fantasy but I love to fund different books to read
Megan G.
I'm so glad my friend introduced me to you guys!
Cheryl M.
Perhaps having a choice might be good
Molly A.
I’m very happy with the box so far!
Catrin H.
Keep up the fantastic work! I absolutely love receiving A Box of Stories, opening my mind to new authors and stories. Thanks all!
Heather .
Loved receiving books I would normally not pick up. It will broaden my reading.
Hazel E.
Pretty good range. I'm happy
Dean S.
I'd love some LGBTQ+ focused fiction or work written by LGBTQ+ writers! Thank you for your work to save these books!
Sophie E.
I'm so grateful to have come across ABOS especially with me being a big reader and I love the fact that I can give all the books a home and read stuff I would never choose myself, I certainly can't wait for my next box.
Molly A.
I’m very happy with the box so far!
Kirstie .
Whilst not every book was to my normal taste- I'm really happy with the selection in my first box! Something for every mood!
