Unbelievably, we're already halfway through the year and all of a sudden it's summer. Here at The Willoughby Book Club we've been planning our summer jaunts for a while, and can't wait to dig our toes into the sand or the grass, take a deep breath of fresh air and begin to relax. And what better time for reading than on holidays? As booklovers, we need to put serious thought into what we take to read on our holidays, because there's nothing worse than having reading time but nothing to read (or the 'wrong' title)! Some of us will be reading new releases, some of us tackling the stacks of books we've gathered so far this year, and some of us just like to meander. How about you?

Everything feels full of promise and potential, and it's lovely to enjoy the first few days of weather good enough to read in the park or garden. Here's what we've been reading this past month:
Wrestler, international author, and all-round great American novelist, John Irving’s novels have been translated into over 35 languages, with his work reaching all four corners of the globe.
As a bit of fun in this sunshine-soaked May we asked our Instagram followers to vote for which book we should read next. It actually felt quite liberating to have the decisions made for us about what to read, particularly as we all put in so much time choosing books for others!
Maybe it's because Spring is in the air, but we have all been reading a little more than normal recently,...
Do you believe in star signs? For thousands of years, astrologists and mystics have been looking to the skies above for answers to some of the most profound questions imaginable. ‘What should I do with my life?’, ‘Will I find true love?’, or ‘Should I get a new job?’.
