Team OwlCrate is excited to share that we have won 1st place in the “Best Book Subscription Box” category in the USA TODAY 10Best Awards in 2025! We’ve been the number 1 book subscription box choice for readers for two years in a row. Thank you for all your support!
Our box was nominated by an expert panel and selected for the final 10 through editorial review by USA TODAY 10Best editors. Readers were asked to choose which book subscription box they would most like to receive, and we are proud to reveal that we were their #1 choice. We couldn’t be more grateful!
ABOUT THE AWARD
The USA TODAY 10Best Awards program has been running annually since 2013 and was created to help readers make the most of their free time by offering recommendations across a variety of categories, including book subscription boxes.

LOOKING AHEAD
The goal for our team at OwlCrate has always been to foster a love of reading by engaging, entertaining, and inspiring readers. Our commitment to creating a community for all, elevating and celebrating authors, artists, and small businesses, showcasing diverse voices, and offering the best customer service experience possible has played a role in being recognised as the Best Book Subscription Box for two years in a row.
Beyond offering book boxes, we also have a community of more than 8,000 book lovers on our free app, The Nest, and a publishing house, OwlCrate Press, which is on a mission to make all voices heard. Our customers, authors (both emerging and established), small businesses, and artists are the reason we do what we do and get to put a smile on customers' faces.
HERE'S TO YOU!
Thank you to every person who has made this journey possible. OwlCrate wouldn’t exist without this incredible community!
Winning 1st place in the USA Today Best Book Subscription Box category motivates us to keep exceeding expectations so we can continue being the best subscription box in the industry for years to come.
Thank you for being awesome, Book Owls, and happy reading!
