Unleash your main character energy with this book subscription service

If you've ever found yourself getting lost in a good book, you might relate to that magical feeling that comes with it — a surge of inspiration, a newfound desire to live life to the fullest, and a realization you are the main character of your own story.

If your response to the above is a resounding “yes!”, now is the time to truly unleash that main character energy by exploring new genres, book series, or authors.

Enter Kobo Plus, an all-you-can-read eBook and audiobook subscription created by Rakuten Kobo, one of the world’s biggest dedicated digital booksellers.
