I absolutely love my TLSS subscription service!
For context, I am someone who has been obsessed with all things bookish for as long as I’ve been alive, but haven’t opened the door to collecting special edition books until this year. Lack of space + cost of SEs were my main reasons for staying out of the game for as long as I did.
Enter: The Love Story Society. They were my very first book book subscription service due to their affordability ($22.99!), free shipping (because who wants to pay as much as the cost of the book itself in s&h fees), and consistency in selecting the best frontlist romances in paperback format (hardcovers are what actually deter me from a lot of the other book sub options). Price + size/space were the main reasons I chose not to actively collect SEs, and now TLSS has solved those problems for me.
I am the proud owner of 6 TLSS editions so far and my favorite months have been August’s Chasing Shelter by Catherine Cowles and November’s Good Spirits by B.K. Borison. I am also patiently waiting for my December copy of Daddy Issues by Kate Goldbeck. With book selections THAT good, I just *know* 2026 will be banger after banger with all the amazing books releasing next year 🤩
While not everyone may care for packaging…I do, and I am so grateful for how thoughtfully and carefully my TLSS books have been packaged. I had a book box arrive with a giant, horrendous hole in it and I was devastated to see my pink box arrive in that condition, especially during the rainy season. I was terrified to open my package (but soon learned I had no reason to be) because the team did such a great job at bubble wrapping my copy of Good Spirits that it was in perfect condition despite having a completely demolished outer box. This just shows how much they care about our books getting to us safely because you never know what shipping boxes/mailers go through en route to you 🫣 I’ve also had to send an inquiry once or twice via email and their customer service has always been top notch!
TLDR; 10/10, would recommend, unbeatable prices, thoughtful packaging, the best upcoming releases, top tier service ✨
