Sending a gift

How do I give a gift?

To get started, click here. You'll be prompted to choose the length of package, enter the recipient's email and delivery information and well as choose their first book if you'd like.

I've seen Standard, Premium and Nonfiction subscriptions on the site, what would a gift be?

All gifts are either premium or nonfiction subscriptions. for nonfiction subscriptions, rest assured, your gift gives your recipient full access to our entire library meaning your recipient can choose freely with a smile on their face. Premium subscriptions will give your recipient access to all of our fiction picks, they can choose a nonfiction choice at a small additional cost. All gift boxes are sent with 2-3 surprise and delight treats as well as the LoveMyRead Magazine, postcards, and bookmark.

When does it get sent?

You can choose the date you want to start the gift subscription at checkout, as well as write a gift message that will be printed in a box. Emails get sent at 3am on the send date (or the next day if you select today).

What happens on the 'send date'?

On the day you select, they'll get an email with the link to activate their gift. The send date is important as you gift automatically starts on this day so ensure the recipient is aware they need to activate their account to register their choices.

If you've chosen their first book at checkout, the first box will arrive on send date alongside the email. Your recipient still needs to use the link to activate their account on the send date.

You can download your free gift voucher here to post to your loved one as well.

Where do you ship?

We ship internationally.

When am I billed?

Our shipping cycles run from the 1-25th of each month.

If your 'send date' is within the current shipping cycle you'll be billed immediately.

If your send date is in next month's shipping cycle or between the 26th and end of the month, you'll be billed from the start of the following month.

Redeeming my gift

How do I redeem my gift?

If you've been given a gift, you'll get an email on the morning of the gift with the link to start. After you click the button, you'll be prompted to create an account, and choose your first book. You should follow the links until you've registered your first book choice.

Can I redeem multiple gifts on the same account?

To redeem more than one gift you'll:

1) Get a different activation email for each subscription you recieve
2)) Use each activation link whilst logged out of your account
3) Log-in each time via the link using your LoveMyRead account

Following these steps will allow you to redeem your gift.

I didn't get my link - what do I do?

Email us at [email protected] with your name and the name of the person who gifted you a subscription, we'll retrieve your link and get you started.

When will I get my first book?

You'll get your first book 2-3 days after you activate your gift. You can visit your account section here to see all your expected book choices.

About the books

How do I pick my books each month?

Every month, around the 10th we'll email you a list of our 6 featured books for you to choose from for the next month. Use the email to choose the book you want by the 14th of the month.

What if I don’t like any of the choices?

If you don't like any of the choices, you can choose from all the previous month's curations. From the email you'll be prompted to visit a page with the current selection, from there you can opt to choose a previous book.

When will I get my book?

We intend to ship the book in the first week of every month, however some books will not be available for release until later in the month. Each book has release date information in the description.

It’s past the dispatch date and I haven’t got my book yet

As much as we try, we know deliveries sometimes go wrong. Email us at

[email protected] and a member of our team will help you out ASAP.

What if I don’t read a book every month?

We know a book a month may sound like a lot, so we make it easy for you to control your subscription.

If you are on a gift or pre paid subscription (3, 6 or 12 months) then you can 'bank' your monthly slot and use it at a later date. Banking is a process whereby you leave the slot open with no book selected. This will remain open and you will be able to come back and pick a book at any time whilst you have an active subscription. Unfortunately you cannot push your renewal date but you will always get the amount of books that have been paid for.

Open slots can be redeemed up to 14 days after a subscription has expired. Outside of this 14 day cooling off period, open book slots will be closed.

Ending my gift

What happens at the end of the gift?

The gifter gets an email asking whether they'd like to continue to pay for their gift. If they choose to, this gift will auto-renew for the same period.

How do I continue if they choose to end the gift?

You'll have the option of continuing this subscription yourself and be prompted to enter payment to start the following month.

How do I cancel?

If your gifter hands the subscription over to you, cancel the subscription by following the prompt on the email. Remember you can always pause the subscription after you take it over rather than cancelling, you won't be charged for the months you are paused.
