Edit: I cancelled my subscription because as of May 2023, there hasn’t been any non-LGBTQ novels since July 2022. At this point it’s clearly just virtue signaling. They have a separate subscription for romance novels, but only feature LGBTQ books in their normal subscription. They fail to highlight any other form of diversity as much as this one. Updating my review from 3 stars to one.Original Review:I’ve had a book-only subscription since July 2022. It’s difficult to get on the waitlist, and pray that you see the waitlist notification email the day it comes through or you’ll have to wait again. Customer service was helpful when I’ve had to use it; the books are beautiful and high quality. The only thing I don’t like is 75-80% of the books are LGBTQ romance novels. I’m not one to read romance books of any sort, and I understand they’re trying to get “diversity” points, but this seems to be their main (and sometimes only) diversity focus. I’ve only been able to get one book in nine months because I have no desire to read romance. I wish there were more books like Babel by a BIPOC author with BIPOC characters without romance.
