WHERE IT ALL BEGAN, CURATED BOOKS FOR THE SOUL
Some books
find us exactly
when we need them.
In partnership with Times Reads. Tell us what you love to read and how you want to feel. Each month, we’ll curate books chosen especially for you.
A good book. A quiet moment. Something to look forward to.
CURATED FOR YOU. CANCEL ANYTIME
Where it all began
Long before the typewriter, The Novel Encounter began with mystery wrapped books. Each came with a clue on the cover, inviting strangers to discover a story they might never have chosen for themselves.
Ten years later, together with Times Reads, we're bringing that idea back. Tell us what you love, what you're curious about, and how you want to feel. We'll find the books we think should find you next.
HOW IT WORKS
How a book
finds its way to you.
Tell us what you love to read. We'll take care of the rest.
i.
Choose Your Journey

iii.
We Curate & Deliver
Together with Times Reads, we'll choose your books and deliver them to your door each month.
"The best books don't simply tell us a story. They quietly change how we notice the world, how we understand ourselves, and sometimes, who we become."
