About Us
We started monthlyreads with a simple idea: that pre-loved books deserve a second chance, and every reader deserves an affordable way to discover great stories.
Our Story
It began in a small flat overflowing with books. We had shelves double-stacked, piles on the floor, and a growing awareness that millions of perfectly good books end up in landfill every year.
We realised we could solve two problems at once: give unloved books a new home while making reading more accessible and affordable. That's how monthlyreads was born.
Today, we source quality used books from charity shops, estate sales, and private collections across Ireland and the UK. Every book is inspected, cleaned, and carefully matched to a subscriber who will love it.
What We Stand For
Sustainability
Every book we deliver has already lived one life. By giving pre-loved books a second home, we reduce waste and keep stories alive.
Affordability
Great reading shouldn't break the bank. Our subscriptions offer incredible value so everyone can enjoy quality literature.
Discovery
Our curators love matching readers with unexpected gems. Prepare to be surprised by titles you'd never have picked yourself.
Community
We believe books connect people. Each book carries the traces of its previous reader — a folded corner, a pencil note — adding to its charm.
