Book Subscriptions

This week I saw a post about a new YA book subscription service called Uppercase. For $29 a month you can get a new YA book plus a book related goodie, free shipping. For $35/mo. you get a personalized book pick. The service was founded by YA book blogger Lisa over at Read. Breath. Relax.

I've noticed a huge shift in mail order subscriptions in general. I've tested a lot of them myself including Just Fab and Graze, among others. There are other book subscription services out there as well though Book Riot and some indie sellers, What you do you think of book subscriptions?
