Everything’s coming up bookish! Spring into a new season of reading with the first ever TBR totes and tees.

Beat the algorithm by giving your favorite book lovers the gift of hand-picked recommendations tailored specifically to their taste! TBR gifts can be scheduled for any day you like, so order now before they sell out.

As you’ve no doubt heard, the ongoing pandemic has resulted in significant supply chain issues and increased costs for shipping and materials. The publishing industry has been no exception, and we’ve felt the impact firsthand here at TBR. Additionally, the USPS recently raised media mail rates by more than 10%.

To accommodate these changes and allow us to continue providing you with excellent personalized book mail, your TBR subscription rate will be increasing by $2.50 per quarter ($10/year for annual subscribers) beginning December 1. This change will take effect at your next billing cycle.

Thank you for your patience and understanding, and thank you for rocking with TBR.

Hi there, reader friend!

TBR turned 3 last month, and it’s hard to believe how much we’ve grown since the very first round of recommendations was packed and shipped out of our executive director’s dining room. So far, we’ve recommended over 50,000 reads to book lovers like you, and one thing we’ve learned is that all these books take up a lot of space! 

As TBR has grown, we’ve realized that it needs its own home, so effective August 30th, we are bringing the fulfillment operation in-house at Book Riot. Our partners at Print: A Bookstore have done an incredible job these last three years, and we couldn’t be more grateful for all the ways they’ve worked magic for TBR, especially through the myriad challenges of the pandemic. If you’re ever in Portland, Maine (or if you’re looking for a great indie to support online), pay them a visit and check out their fantastic staff picks. 

This change shouldn’t impact your experience as a TBR customer—we’ve been working behinds the scenes for several months to make it a smooth transition, and we are grateful for your patience with any hiccups along the way—but we wanted to let you know why you won’t see Print’s name and branding on TBR materials anymore. 

As we look to the next three years (and hopefully many more) for TBR, having fulfillment under our own roof will allow us to explore new additions to the service and continue expanding the ways we help passionate book nerds find their next great read. It’s an exciting time, and we’re so glad you’re here for it.

Hello, bookish friends!

Just a quick note to let you know that the cost of shipping on your TBR hardcover quarterly subscription is increasing to $5 per quarter (from $4.79) in order account for, well, the increased cost of shipping since TBR launched in 2018.

You’ll see this change reflect in your next billing cycle, or log into the Account Details section of your TBR account to upgrade to an annual subscription ($315/year) and receive free shipping.

Happy reading!
