At SBTB HQ, we go through a lot of books and we want to share the wealth with our lovely community! We’re strapping on our headbands and rolling up our sleeves to do some bookish spring cleaning.
We have seven boxes of brand new books to giveaway! Yes, seven!Â
We can promise the books included are absolutely new, unread, and printed on paper. We can also promise there will be at least five books, possibly more, in each box.
There may be a mix of formats and sub-genres, but most if not all will be romance or with Strong Romantic Elements!
Here’s a sneak peek at some of the titles included:

Genres include contemporary, historical, romantic suspense, thrillers, and paranormal romance, too. While we hope the box you receive contains a subgenre or author you enjoy, we also have our fingers crossed that you’ll love trying something new. And as always, our mission statement is to share the love and share the romance.

A dream box of books for me would be a bunch of highly rated books that I have not read before. If it introduces me to a few new authors, all the better. I’m kinda tired of historical romances right now – I’d love a few fantasy/scifi/paranormal or contemporaries to spice things up.
My dream would be autographed copies of my beloved authors, but I enjoy meeting the authors in person to obtain said autograph. So that may not be it. Maybe a huge variety of things I wouldn’t typically pick up. I mostly enjoy reading historical romances but I’ve been feeling the need to branch out from that. There are so many wonderful authors out there and even my few go-tos in that specific genre are just the tip of the iceberg.
I’d like my box of books to be like Hermione’s purse with all the space you would need. New, classic, genre, all the books!
Oooooh! I will pretty much read anything that gets plunked down in front of me. I am partial to historicals, but would be interested in branching out a bit—perhaps a few contemporaries, or a good fantasy? Beach books also welcome—summer is coming!
Preferably historical and paranormal/fantasy. I would be so excited with a half and half.
My dream box contains authors I’ve never read before. I have a habit of reading the same types of romances because they’re doubly comforting; this year I’m hoping to step outside my comfort zone and find something new to love.
My dream box would include all of the SBTB top picks that I haven’t had the time (or $$) to read yet!
My dream box…….at least one of every genre….new authors and automatic buy authors….and at least a couple the “first book of the series”
My dream box would be full of books I can’t put down, productivity be damned. It’s rare I get on a roll of more then one or two can’t-put-them-down books but when it happens it’s the absolute best. I love new adult and contemporary genres, but also love books with magical or/or sci-fi elements, as long as they have a strong romance aspect. However, I have really come to value the recommendations from SBTB and would be stoked to get a curated box of recommended favorites in a variety of genres. Plus, I read so much on my kindle, it would be fun to throw it back by reading some wonderfully new, physical books again.
My dream box of books would include a first edition Jane Austen and then a mix of some lighthearted and funny contemporaries, super hot sports romances, some interesting and fun historicals and steamy paranormals. What a fun idea for a giveaway!! Thanks for the chance to win!
My dream box of books is the first volumes of all the series I’ve been meaning to get to for years… and the third Captal’s Tower book from Melanie Rawn, which has been promised for over 20 years.
Books by authors I haven’t discovered yet, with diverse characters and no violence.
My dream box would have a bunch of authors I’ve never read before, that would magically be perfect for me and new favs.
My dream box would include a copy of the edition of Christine Dodd’s Castes in the Air, or the Three arm cover! Seriously, I scour used bookstores looking for it! Ok, if that’s not possible, surprise me with RS, PNR, historical romance, maybe a steampunk or two. Oh, maybe some stickers, sticky notes, bookmarks for good measure! Anything that is bookish will make me happy.
All of Frank L. Baum’s Oz books. With the original color illustrations. In hard cover.
Any box of romance books is my dream box of books! I am not picky.
Any box of romance books is my dream box of books! I am not picky. I like reading all kinds of romance stories.
My dream box of books also comes with a Time Turner…so I can stop and read them all without the rest of my life getting in the way. Lol.
My dream box of books would be a collection of everything Courtney Milan wrote 🙂
I adore her style, sense of humour, soft heroes & resilient heroines ♥♥♥
A dream box would be a bunch of first in the series of romance books that are on my TBR or have been highly recommended to me.
My favorite box of books would be a box full of a complete series – all the books in the series, ready to be read nonstop!
My dream box of books would contain first editions of Jane Austen. I like to dream big. Price and Prejudice was reported this weekend to be Barbara Bush’s favorite novel.
A box of historical romance novels would be awesome! I love how the romance develops more slowly than the contemporary ones.
My favorite books are sci-fi/fantasy/paranormal romances, but a dash or two of different or exciting romantic suspense or adventure filled historical romance would also be yummy! However, my dream box would contain all new to me authors in the above sub-genres! I’m greedy!
I’d love a box of all POC authors, preferably own-voices books.
Mostly fantasy/scifi with a few historical romances.
I would love a box of new-to-me authors!
This is a toughie because I love to read so many different genres of books. I would be thrilled with a few new books, something that’s different from what I’ve read before, like perhaps a fantasy or sci-fi type romance.
I’m finding it hard thinking of a romance genre I don’t love! There are so many different flavours of yumminess. Probably my biggest favourite is fantasy, but I also love contemporary and anything set in slow paced southern towns. Then there’s suspense and of course I love a bickering couple who fight like cat and dog to deny their attraction to each other before finally giving in….
Everything!!! by Nora Roberts and J.D. Robb. And, a new to me author, Eve Dangerfield.

My dream box would be books others have loved and that have HEAs. I’ve never been big on collecting classics or first editions, but I love finding new authors.
My dream box would contain a mix of romances with fleshed out characters, clean and some smutty, with a dash of fantasy.
My dream box of books is filled with books by authors I’ve never read before, who I find I love, but who each have a deep backlist and continue writing for years, so I have all sorts of new books to read for ages.
I’d love a box containing the complete set of Ilona Andrews special print editions of Innkeeper (first 3 stories with Dina, second 3 stories with Maud, and, if the authorlords are listening, the next 3 with Klaus and the final 3 with George & his brother). BTW, I’ve no idea if they even intend to write all those additional books, but you did say ‘dream’. That’s my dream. My fantasy would be everything they’ve ever written in that format.
If I could get a box of books, I would love to get back all the Zebra and Signet regency romances I read in my teens and early 20’s that I threw out when I dropped out of the romance genre world for awhile in my mid-20’s. Usually I love getting rid of stuff and never miss it but old books and old CDs are regrets of mine (oh Backstreet Boys who knew that at the age of 26 I would want to listen to all your CDs again? – leading my husband to ask when I purchased replacements on Amazon – hey don’t you own these already – yes but I stupidly threw them out!!!) I have been sporadically checking eBay for lots of the Signet and Zebra romances to replace my old ones.
Dream box, wow, that’s a hard and fascinating question. I think it would include finds like a Diana Wynne Jones I’ve never read, one or two unexpected signed copies of old favorites then a mixture of new and not completely books that are all new to me. In terms of genre; a nonfiction book or two, a few romance novels-mainly historicals with a fantasy and contemporary mixed in, at least one Star Wars’ book-one of their lovely big ones or a newer fiction, a few MG and YA books. I’m a librarian and a teacher so I tend to read a little bit of everything.
Dream box: non-falling apart sets of Anne of Green Gables series and Little House series with the cover artwork AND authentic smell of my childhood!!
My dream box is full of surprises and a mix of and all kinds of books. I never read two similar books in a row; there has to be a change in either the genre or in the tone. Historical romance is my favorite, so there is at least one of those.
My dream box of books would contain only standalones, in a variety of genres and authors. Hopefully they would be books that I’ve never read before.
