I’m Alyssa Granlund, an indie author (Lyssa Lund), lifelong reader, and the founder of ReaderCrate.
But I’m also a wife, a mom, a grandmother, a baker, and a devoted pet lover (that’s Isa, my Borzoi, by my side!).
I created ReaderCrate because I believe stories bring us together — and everyone deserves a cozy moment all their own.
ReaderCrate was born from three simple truths:
📖 I love great books.
💌 I believe great indie authors deserve to be read.
🤝 And I know that reading is even better when we can connect with others who love the same stories.
If you’re anything like me, you know that the right book can change your whole day.
My favorite day of the month as a kid wasn’t Christmas or a birthday — it was the day the Scholastic book order arrived at school. That thrill of unboxing new stories? I never outgrew it.
And that’s exactly what I wanted to bring to you through ReaderCrate:
That same can’t-wait-to-open-it feeling, filled with books worth getting lost in.
As a reader, you deserve more than scrolling for hours trying to find your next great read.
That’s where we come in.
Each ReaderCrate box is
Curated by readers, for readers. My team and I vet every indie title to make sure it’s something bingeable — the kind of story that keeps you turning pages late into the night.
A gateway to hidden gems. There are so many incredible indie authors out there writing stories that deserve to be discovered. We find them, read them, and handpick the best for you.
A full reading experience. Alongside the books, you’ll find thoughtful treats and cozy extras — little touches to make your reading ritual even more special.
A place to belong.
Join a warm community of like-minded book lovers through our exclusive online book club — complete with monthly author interviews that connect you to the people behind the stories you love.
We’re building a bridge between passionate readers and talented independent writers — one box, one story, one mystery at a time.
So whether you’re a lifelong cozy mystery fan or just dipping your toes into the genre, I’m so glad you’re here. Every box we send is crafted with the same joy I felt opening those childhood book orders: full of promise, surprise, and that quiet magic only a good story brings.
Welcome to ReaderCrate.
Let’s find your next favorite book together.
Warmly,
Lyssa Lund
Founder & Curator, ReaderCrate
