Surprise Your Shelf

Every two months, Wormhole invites a different person to curate a mystery book. Our curators all come from different backgrounds and walks of life, so you'll never quite know what to expect.

Take a chance, explore someone else's perspective, and surprise yourself. Find out more here.

All Surprise Your Shelf (SYS) books come with free normal mail. SYS orders are open till 28 August, 10pm. We expect to send them out in September.

If you're making other purchases together with your SYS order, they will be shipped out first.
