Hello! For long boring reasons, we're retiring this page and we've started a new one. We'd love you to go and follow us over there and just forget about this one...!

Quarterly non-fiction book subscription for people with curious minds who want to read more great books.

Would you describe yourself as an avid reader? Or are you actually one of the 35% of UK adults who has admitted to being a lapsed reader? (Source: The Reading Agency)

A combination of increasing screen time, post-pandemic brain fog (and menopausal brain fog for some) plus just not knowing what to read means 35% of UK adults who used to read regularly have pretty much stopped.

For us, it was non-fiction reading that had bitten the dust. We were both still able to read fiction, although granted we weren't reading 'War and Peace', but non-fiction books were being picked up and put down over and over again.

Were we just getting more stupid as we hit middle age?

Now we've been curating Drift + Focus book boxes for the past two+ years we can definitively say, no, we weren't getting more stupid. We'd just lost the habit of focused reading and we were reading the wrong books.

If that all sounds familiar, we have a solution.

Start a Quarterly Subscription with Drift + Focus and put some joy and energy back into your reading habits. We read a LOT of books to ensure we only ever send the very best narrative non-fiction to our subscribers. Which means two guaranteed gripping reads that will leave you feeling mentally nourished and ready for more.

Ready to reignite your reading mojo?

Hello! Thanks for visiting our page - we've not been over here for a while so we thought we'd re-introduce ourselves.

We're Emma and Dave and a couple of years ago you could probably have called us lapsed readers. We'd both lost our reading mojo and it turns out we're not the only ones. According to the Reading Agency, 35% of UK adults used to read frequently but don't any more.

Our solution was to start Drift + Focus, a non-fiction book subscription, and now we're on a mission to ignite the reading brains of the nation!

Our book boxes are lovely tactile parcels containing two new non-fiction books with reading notes, an exclusive magazine with author interviews and book recommendations, and some extra gifts from small sustainable businesses, all curated around a big theme chosen to spark ideas and challenge your thinking.

We produce a new box on a new theme every quarter, so people can buy a one-off box for themselves or as a gift for someone else or start a rolling Quarterly Subscription and get a box of books every three months.

If you’d like to increase the amount of non-fiction you read and you’re based in the UK, you’re in the right place. Check out our website for all the details and give us a follow over on Instagram where we post regular book-related content. Happy reading!
