A NEW BOOK IS NEVER A BAD IDEA 👏

Our Dark & Spicy book subscription

We see you spice lovers... and we have the subscription box just for you!

Each month the Paper and Word team will choose a paperback dark fantasy book full of extra spice for you to have delivered or collect in-store. We don't limit ourselves to recent releases or traditionally published titles.

These titles will include explicit sexual content and multiple trigger warnings (18+)

How our book subscriptions work

Each month the P+W team will hand pick a suitably dark and spicy fantasy book to go in the subscription box.

We'll share this with you shortly after, and then ship your book subscription package to arrive mid-month. As part of your subscription you get:

A paperback copy of the book
Access to our P+W community Discord

Then you can read at your heart's content!! There's no official meetings for our book subscriptions...BUT you will have access to our P + W community Discord where you can connect with your fellow spice lovers!

Dark & Spicy FAQs

What happens when I join

When you join you'll be charged immediately for the upcoming month.

You then won't hear anything from us until early in that month, when you'll see a dispatch/collection email for your book subscription package.

You'll then get the P+W Discord access soon after the 13th, where you can make your introductions and settle in to our community.

WHAT BOOKS WILL WE READ

This is a fantasy book subscription, so our Dark & Spicy box will always be from this genre!

If you're a fan of these...

- And so the Breaking Begins by Lacey Lechotzky

- Forged in Blood by Sadie Kincaid

- A Soul to Keep by Opal Reyne

...then this subscription is perfect for you!!!

If you see the book of the month and you decide it isn't for you, or you've already read it...Don't worry, you can skip that month!

WHEN WILL I BE CHARGED

You will be charged immediately when you join the Book Club - after this you'll be charged on the 28th of each month.

If you join after the cut off date, you will still be charged immediately, but would then not be charged on the next 28th, it would be the one after.

Skipping a month

You are able to skip a month if you know the book isn't for you, or if you already own it.

However please note that we have a limit of 3 skips in a row or 5 skips within a 12 month period before your subscription is cancelled and your space offered to someone else.

Is this the same as the book club

No!!

There's no time restraints to your reading, or meeting dates to pop in you diary ... Our book subscription boxes are purely for you to discover new stories and be able to read at your own pace.

By signing up, you receive 1x paperback a month and access to the P+W community Discord where you will have a Dark & Spicy channel to chat to your fellow spicy book lovers.

Will there be any events

Because we love to spoil you, if we're able to offer an online author event with our book choice we will! 👀

Any events will be posted on our events page and communicated via email/Discord
