Sustainability at The Willoughby Book Club
Books are central to what we do, but we're also on a journey to make our subscriptions as sustainable as possible.
Since 2019 we've worked hard to make our subscriptions plastic free. All of our stickers are printed on eco friendly bio-degradable paper and our fully recyclable packaging comes from sustaible sources.
Each year every Willoughby team member has 8 trees planted on their behalf in sustainable covenanted woodland.

Interesting choices
The two books which have arrived as part of my gift subscription have been interesting choices I wouldn't have picked up in bookshops or libraries. A clever idea.

Thirst for salt
Great receiving a book I don’t think I would have looked at in a bookshop, wasn’t able to put down and read within the day! Great book and fantastic story line. Can’t wait for next book to arrive!

Amazing selections, prompt delivery, beautiful and thoughtful packaging. I was so grateful to receive this and look forward to gifting a subscription to someone else ☺️
I had a minor issue with one order. The team responded to my email swiftly and all was resolved within a day. Thanks, WBC!

A very special present
We gave the Gift Tin as a seventieth birthday present to someone who loves reading, and she’s thrilled. It’s a present that keeps on giving, as each parcel arrives. It’s exciting to hear from her what’s turned up, and how pleased she is with the books that have been chosen for her. Can highly recommend this as a present for the booklover/s in your life.

Gift Tin
Amazing !
I bought this for my Mum’s Birthday - she is an avid reader so it was quite a challenge to see if they could find books she hadn’t read!
But every month she’s sent me the book and told me about it and has LOVED the surprise and variation of titles ! A real eclectic mix with a personal touch - I’d recommend this to any book lover and it’s a perfect present as it’s the gift that keeps on giving!

Dads favourite gift
My father is so hard to buy for and when I gave him this subscription he’s asked for it to be renewed twice. He’s a huge reader and this way he gets a surprise book that lands on his doorstep. Brilliant idea really well executed.

The Temptation of Gracie
I was given a subscription to the Willoughby book club as a birthday present. After filling in my previous book choices from books i have read i was a little sceptical to what i would receive, however I found the first book very enjoyable and am now looking forward to reading the second book of your choice. Good storytelling and twists at the end. Not read any books by the author, Santa Montefiore, before but I'm sure they will be just as enjoyable too. Good choice from you.

A nice little extra
The gift tin was an added surprise therefore there was little expectation, but the recipient found it a nice idea, especially the chocolate (as yet unopened) and the book mark which was useful.

gone
the last two books you sent have been too similar in theme. Both about extinct animals. Would prefer more about current scientific research

Re-Wild Your Library - Competition!
The Willoughby Book Club has two favourite things: reading and getting outside in the sunshine. We've taken our books on our holidays and to the local park. We've read on the tube and on the bus, outside, inside, and basically anywhere we've found ourselves on our travels. What about you?
Send us your favourite pictures of reading in the wild to be in with a chance of winning a subscription or another bookish treat!
Happy Readers for Life: on reading with your children
The end of summer is already in the air, and thoughts of a new term are beginning to loom. It’s time for thoughts of new term resolutions, new stationery and new regimes to surface, and we've been thinking of ways to re-establish positive habits.
Perhaps your children’s usual routines and habits have gone gloriously out of the window for a summer of running free and you are worrying about the routine of the school term? Or perhaps it is your own inner child, remembering the feeling of the discipline that a new term brings that turns thoughts toward re-establishing habits and routines?
Women in Translation Month
It’s August, which means The Willoughby Book Club is celebrating Women in Translation Month. The team is passionate about reading books from all over the world and promoting work written by women.
Now more than ever, we believe we need to read diversely, from across a spectrum of experiences, to expand our interests and to read with open-minded curiosity.
Summer is here for a few more weeks and the mornings and afternoons are still long, making it the perfect period to read plenty of exciting books and to spotlight writers overlooked by the wider publishing world, as well as some classic favourites that have stood the test of time.
