Banned Books Box Reviews
Updated December 19, 2025
Banned Books Box
Simply put, books get banned in schools, libraries, and other institutions in the U.S. when complaints that content is offensive result in their removal from shelves. That’s censorship. Unfortunately, it happens often. We send one or two banned books (you choose!) written for adult or young adult readers published during the past decade, along with information on how and why the books in your box were censored. Unless you elect to receive just books, you’ll also get few bookish goodies handpicked for their potential to bring joy to bookish souls.

Bought a sample box from Banned Books Box before starting my subscription. The paperback I received is torn/damaged, which is extremely galling, considering the cost of the box is well over the cover prices of the books included. I’ve emailed them about this issue multiple times, and have been ignored for weeks. Obviously I’ve taken my subscription dollars elsewhere. I encourage everyone to avoid this poor, shoddy company at all costs.
