Membership Policies
When does my card get charged?
Your initial full monthly payment is processed immediately upon sign-up to secure your immediate archive allocation. To keep our fulfillment logistics completely synchronized, all subsequent full recurring payments are anchored to the 1st of each month moving forward. Please note that we do not prorate membership fees. If you join late in a month, your initial immediate payment secures that current month’s book selection, and you will be billed again for the subsequent volume on the upcoming 1st of the month.
Looking for something lighter? In October, members can opt-in to The Annex—our exclusive seasonal pop-up featuring unpretentious autumn romance and small-town mysteries.
