It’s finally happening. I am adding Aardvark Book Club Predictions posts to my blog in 2024!
Aardvark Book Club exploded in 2023 and honestly, I feel like they had the best selections.
This book subscription box offers a variety of genres from new and popular authors. There is always at least one book in their picks that I’ve never even heard of before, which is always impressive since I do a lot of research for my blog posts.
Predicting Aardvark Book Club’s monthly picks will be a challenge because they do have picks from previous months more often than early releases right now. I do think this will change in the future though!
The only issue I have with my own predictions is the late January release dates. I have not kept track of the early releases from Aardvark Book Club each month, so this is something I will be looking at more closely throughout the year so I can hopefully be more accurate in my predictions!
If you aren’t familiar with Aardvark Book Club, you can check out my full review of this subscription service. The basic idea is Aardvark Book Club chooses five books from different genres every month and members can choose their pick when the books go live. You can also add on up to two more books for only $9.99 each.
If you don’t like any of the picks, you can choose to skip and save your credit for the next month, which is honestly the best part of this service to me. I don’t like subscription boxes that only offer one book selection that you don’t know ahead of time. If you are interested in trying Aardvark Book Club, you can use my code READWITHALLISON4 when you checkout at this link to get your first book for only $4!
As usual, these are just my opinions and my predictions. It is fine if you disagree or think the predictions are terrible-we all have different reading tastes. Please remember to be kind in comments or messages because we are all readers with different tastes!
You can find my January 2024 Book of the Month Predictions here!

Why I Think It Could Be a Pick
Aardvark Book Club does a fantastic job of picking debut authors and diverse stories. They also seem to lean more to mystery books than thrillers. Since this is a locked room mystery, I feel like it’s the perfect thriller pick for Aardvark in January!
