BookCase.Club is a monthly book subscription box where you’ll receive two hand-picked books in one of eight genres. (For the children’s picture book box you’ll get four books!) This is an inexpensive book subscription – less than $15 including shipping per month! I love these boxes and how very bookish they are. It brings out my bookgeek loving heart.
When you sign up, you’ll pick the genre. I selected Blind Date because I love Paranormal Romance novels! I have been devouring books lately and this is my go-to reading choice so getting new ones each month is perfect.

The first look into my box. There isn’t much to these boxes and they include the two books and then a bookmark withe the books posted on the back. There is usually some packing paper rolled up around the edges to help with shifting during shipping. Most months we receive one hardback and one paperback book and that is what we got this month.
The bookmark is really cute and has the new box design on one side and the books with a quote on the other. This is a very streamlined approach to their info sheets they used to send out. I like that the bookmark is very on point for a book box and very useful.
The January Blind Date books, Wildalone by Krassi Zourkova and The Witch of Belladonna Bay by Suzanne Palmieri.
Wildalone by Krassi Zourkova ($25.99) This sounds like a book I will love. Its listed as a mixture of some books I already love by authors that are some of my go tos.
In this darkly imaginative debut novel full of myth, magic, romance, and mystery, a Princeton freshman is drawn into a love triangle with two brothers, and discovers terrifying secrets about her family and herself–a bewitching blend of Twilight, The Secret History, Jane Eyre, and A Discovery of Witches.
Arriving at Princeton for her freshman year, Thea Slavin finds herself alone, a stranger in a strange land. Away from her family and her Eastern European homeland for the first time, she struggles to adapt to unfamiliar American ways and the challenges of college life–including an enigmatic young man whose brooding good looks and murky past intrigue her. Drawn to the elusive Rhys and his equally handsome and mysterious brother, Jake, she ventures into a sensual mythic underworld as irresistible as it is dangerous.
In this shadow world that seems to mimic Greek mythology and the Bulgarian legends of the samodivi or “wildalones”–forest witches who beguile and entrap men–she will discover a family secret bound to transform her forever . . . if she can accept that dead doesn’t always mean gone, and love doesn’t always distinguish between the two.
Mesmerizing and addictive, Wildalone is a thrilling blend of the modern and the fantastic. Krassi Zourkova creates an atmospheric world filled with rich characters as compelling as those of Diana Gabaldon, Deborah Harkness, and Stephenie Meyer.
The Witch of Belladonna Bay by Suzanne Palmieri ($11.99) Oh exciting a family drama with supernatural and love all mixed in. This is a perfect trifecta and I’m intrigued. I’m also a southern girl so stories that take place in the south always get me excited as well.
It’s the trouble you aren’t expecting that gets you. And it’s all around you, Bronwyn, it’s all around you like the air.…
Bronwyn “BitsyWyn” Whalen hasn’t set eyes on the red dirt of Magnolia Creek, Alabama, for fourteen years – not since her mama died. But with her brother, Patrick, imprisoned for the murder of her childhood best friend, and her eccentric father, Jackson, at his wits’ end while her eleven-year-old niece, Byrd, runs wild, Bronwyn finds herself once again surrounded by ancient magnolia trees and the troubled family she left behind. She becomes immersed in a whirlwind of mystery and magic as she tries to figure out what really happened that fateful night her friend died. And as her bond with Byrd deepens, Bronwyn must face the demons of her past in order to unravel her family’s uncertain future.
In Suzanne Palmieri’s thrilling new novel, The Witch of Belladonna Bay, readers will learn if love and magic are enough to bring a broken family back together.
I’m always excited to get my new books from BookCase.Club. They send a great selection of books I’ve never heard of but are all under my selected genre. I love the mix of supernatural, romance and coming of age the books this month are about. While there isn’t a theme each month most months the books do tend to have a similar thread in them and it makes for some great fun reading.
