Book Case Club sends two books in your genre choice every month (or quarterly if you pick Cookbooks or Military History).

They offer eight categories: Teenage Dreams, Thrill Seeker, Strange Worlds, Read to Me, Blind Date, Booking for Love, Quarterly Cookbooks, and Quarterly Military History. I selected Strange Worlds and have received science fiction, fantasy, alt history and now a piece of transgressive lit.

The info card is (conveniently) a bookmark.

Beautiful You by Chuck Palahnuiuk of Fight Club fame is the very first author-signed book I’ve received in my Book Case Club subscription.

While I loved Fight Club, I’m a little hesitant to read this book which (satire or no) focuses on adult toys and seemingly mindless humans. Maybe I should expand my horizons?

I was thrilled to see The Thinking Woman’s Guide to Real Magic by Emily Croy Barker in my box this month.

An imaginative story of a woman caught in an alternate world—where she will need to learn the skills of magic to survive

Nora Fischer’s dissertation is stalled and her boyfriend is about to marry another woman.  During a miserable weekend at a friend’s wedding, Nora wanders off and walks through a portal into a different world where she’s transformed from a drab grad student into a stunning beauty.  Before long, she has a set of glamorous new friends and her romance with gorgeous, masterful Raclin is heating up. It’s almost too good to be true.

Then the elegant veneer shatters. Nora’s new fantasy world turns darker, a fairy tale gone incredibly wrong. Making it here will take skills Nora never learned in graduate school. Her only real ally—and a reluctant one at that—is the magician Aruendiel, a grim, reclusive figure with a biting tongue and a shrouded past. And it will take her becoming Aruendiel’s student—and learning magic herself—to survive. When a passage home finally opens, Nora must weigh her “real life” against the dangerous power of love and magic.

I read a library copy of this book a couple years ago, and I’m pleased to have my own.

I think $15.00 for two hardcover books in your specified genre is a steal, and I’m excited to receive an old favorite. If you’re interested in BookCase.Club, make sure to use Beeju15 to save 15% .

I live in Utah with my carnivorous husband, three swell daughters, and two semi-trained dogs at the base of some of the most beautiful mountains in the world. Sometimes I write for money, but usually I just play Candy Crush.

I am a vegan, homeschooling mom who might be a tad obsessed with subscription boxes. My infatuation is evidenced by my uncanny ability to recognize the sound of my mail carrier’s truck engine. I’d like to say don’t judge me, but if I were you, I’d judge me. I love vegan/eco-friendly, literary and thoughtfully curated boxes.
