What Membership gets you

The archive

The whole shelf, not just this week

Free readers get the last 7 days. Members get every plot and cover puzzle we've ever published. Browse back, pick a date, finish the ones you missed.

The weekend

A themed quiz, by post

Each weekend we send Members a themed quiz, built from books in your reading orbit. One author, one decade, one genre. In your inbox by Saturday morning.

The search

A slower, deeper way to find a book

Members get our web-grounded lane. It looks beyond the catalog and finds books from the foggy half-memories the fast lane gives up on.

The quiet

No ads, anywhere

The site stays quiet. No display ads on result pages, on the archive, or anywhere else you read.

Ask the librarian

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. From your Account page, two clicks opens the Stripe billing portal and you can stop renewal right there. You'll keep Member access until the end of the period you've already paid for.

What's it cost, exactly?

$5 USD per month, or $50 USD per year (that's two months free). Both options run through Stripe. Switch between them anytime from the billing portal.

Do I need a Member account to play the daily puzzle?

No. The daily plot and cover puzzles are free for everyone, and so is the last 7 days of the archive. Membership opens up everything older than that, plus the Saturday mega-quiz and the rest of what's listed above.

What happens to my streak if I cancel?

Your streak history stays. You can keep playing the daily puzzles for free after cancelling. You lose access to the full archive, the Saturday mega-quiz, and deeper AI search, and you'll see ads again.
