Book Boxes
What is One More Twist Book Box?
One More Twist Book Box sells carefully curated book boxes and Blind Dates with a Book for women who love to read thriller, crime, and suspense books. All our boxes feature Aussie authors, both traditional and self-published, and fun extras. Everything is chosen to make your next reading escape feel a little more special.
Who is this book box for?
Our boxes are perfect for women who want to expand their bookshelves with Australian thriller or crime books.
What do I receive in each book box?
Every box includes:
- An Australian crime or thriller paperback, depending on your chosen subscription
- A matching bookmark
- A scented candle that suits the mood of the story
- A self-care treat
- A tea bag or latte sachet for the perfect reading moment
Are the books I'll receive new?
Yes. Every book is brand new and sourced from Australian publishers or authors.
Do you feature Australian authors?
Yes! Celebrating Australian storytellers is at the heart of One More Twist Book Box. We feature both well-known and emerging Australian authors.
Do you include indie authors?
Absolutely. We love introducing readers to talented independent or self-published Australian authors alongside traditionally published favourites.
What makes One More Twist Book Box different from other boxes?
All our book boxes focus on supporting Australians. From Aussie authors to Aussie small businesses, we aim to fill our boxes with quality and durable items to assure a cosy reading experience.
Blind Date With a Book
What is a Blind Date With a Book?
It's a bookish surprise! Your book is carefully wrapped so you don't know the title until you unwrap it. Instead, you'll receive a few clues to help you decide whether this mystery read is calling your name. It's a fun way to discover an author or story you may not have picked up otherwise.
Do you feature Australian authors?
Yes! Celebrating Australian storytellers is at the heart of One More Twist Book Box. We feature both well-known and emerging Australian authors.
What do I receive in a Blind Date With a Book?
Every Blind Date includes a carefully selected Australian book and clues to help you discover your mystery read. Depending on the Blind Date you choose, you may also receive a bookmark, reading treats or other thoughtfully selected bookish extras.
You'll find exactly what's included in each option on its product page.
How much will I know about the book before I buy?
Enough to decide whether it sounds like your kind of read, but not enough to spoil the surprise! You'll receive clues about things like genre, setting, themes and mood, while the title and cover remain hidden until you unwrap your book.
What genres will I find?
One More Twist Book Box specialises in stories with a little intrigue, including thrillers, crime, suspense and mystery fiction. Each Blind Date will include its own clues so you can choose a book that matches your reading mood.
What if I already own the book?
I know there's nothing worse than getting a “surprise” you've already discovered. Each Blind Date With a Book has carefully written clues and tropes without giving too much away. If these sound familiar to you, and you're worried you may have read the book already, please contact me before ordering.
Subscription
When will your book box subscription be live?
The launch for our subscription book box is planned for January 2027. I recommend signing up for the waitlist so you're one of the first people to find out when it'll launch.
Can I choose what box I subscribe to?
When you sign up for the subscription, you can choose between a Thriller Book Box, or Crime Book Box.
Can I choose the book that goes in my box?
I carefully handpick each book for both our thriller and crime book box, so you won't be able to choose. However, the books will be announced beforehand.
Can I sign up at any time?
One More Twist Book Box is a bi-monthly book box, meaning you'll receive a box every other month (during the uneven months).
As such, we operate with a closed cart module. You'll only have the chance to sign up at the end of an uneven month.
For example, the cart will open mid January to sign up for the March book box. From mid March, the cart opens up for the May book box etc.
However, during closed cart times, you can sign up for the waitlist so you don't miss out on the next launch.
Am I able to skip a box?
Yes, but because our box is delivered every other month, you can only skip once. If you want to skip again, your box will be canceled instead. Simply, contact us with your request.
Can I cancel my subscription?
Yes. We understand life gets busy. Simply, contact us with your request to cancel. Please note, once your payment has gone through, you won't be able to cancel for that box. Your cancellation will start after receiving your latest box.
When will I be charged?
Your first payment will come off when you subscribe. After that, payment will occur on the 15th of the even month.
Shipping
Do you ship Australia-wide?
Yes! We deliver across Australia.
Do you offer international shipping?
At this stage we're focused on delivering within Australia, but we may expand in the future.
Is shipping included in the box price?
No, shipping will be added at check-out.
Returns and Refunds
Can I receive a refund?
Depending on the reason, you may be eligible to receive a refund. Please, check our refund policy for more information.
What if my box arrives damaged?
If your book box arrives damaged, simply get in touch when receiving your order and include photos of the damage. We'll work with you to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.
Australian Authors & Bookish Sellers
I'm a self-published author. Can my book be considered for your box or shop?
Yes, but only if you meet the requirements. As our box features Australian books only, you'll need to be an Australian writer. Your book must also be in the genre of thriller, suspense, mystery, or crime. If this is you, feel free to contact me for more information.
I create my own bookish items and would love to work with you. Is this possible?
As an Australian small business owner myself, I welcome the opportunity to work with other small business owners. If you believe your items could be a good fit for my book box, please feel free to reach out.
If I apply to have my book or items included in your box, does this automatically mean they'll be featured in the next box?
Unfortunately not. To ensure that your book or items are perfect for my box, I carefully consider each application, but it doesn't mean it's automatically approved.
As I aim to plan the boxes in advance, I also cannot guarantee your items will be featured in the next coming box. Please contact me and we can discuss your application.
