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?
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.

As it's Mother's Day this weekend, we thought we'd do what we love most- choosing books- but this time for our own mums.
It's a real privilege to be trusted to select books for our subscribers. As readers we love having books suggested to us, so to be able to do that for others is a real treat. We aim to surprise and delight our subscribers with every book that arrives, so let's see how we get on doing the same with our biggest supporters, our mums!
