Shelf Worthy: The Book Box that Gives Back

Shelf Worthy: The Book Box that Gives Back

Shelf Worthy is more than just a book box—it’s a celebration of great reads, meaningful gifts, and impactful causes. Each month, we curate a themed box featuring a mix of perfectly paired non-fiction and fiction titles, along with thoughtfully selected gifts sourced exclusively from small businesses and creators who align with the theme. We also donate a portion of proceeds from the sale of each box to a Houston non-profit with a mission in line with the theme.*

May Box: Mental Health Matters

This month's Shelf Worthy box features two bestselling hardcovers that explore mental health with compassion and insight, plus thoughtful gifts to support your self-care journey. And because our gift box gives back, 10% of net proceeds from every box will be donated to NAMI Houston, helping provide vital mental health support and advocacy in our community.

💚 Take a moment to pause, read, and care for your mind and heart. This box is your cozy companion for meaningful reflection and nourishing reads.

Fiction Title

The Midnight Library

The Midnight Library by Matt Haig: A moving, imaginative novel about regrets, choices, and the infinite possibilities of life. This uplifting story invites readers to reflect on what truly makes life worth living. Our Favorite Quote: “You don't have to understand life. You just have to live it.”

Non-Fiction Hardcover

Maybe You Should Talk to Someone

Part memoir, part behind-the-scenes of a therapist’s world, this witty and honest exploration of therapy reminds us that healing is never a straight line. Our Favorite Quote: “We can’t have change without loss, which is why so often people say they want change but nonetheless stay exactly the same.”

Maybell Eequay
