The Willoughby Book Club #2

Hello!

So we have had our first day of lockdown, I will be honest it hasn’t been much different to my normal days. Studying with a little bit of online teaching thrown into the mix. However, I did have something which doesn’t happen everyday and that was my wonderful Willoughby Book Club delivery! I have been so excited about this delivery! I am so grateful to my amazing friend who got it for my birthday as it really is something to look forward to each month.

Here is my lovely book!

I’ve never come across this author or even seen this book before so I am rather excited to read it.

I think the thing I love most about getting a surprise book each month is the fact that I am getting to discover lots of new books and authors. It makes me leave my comfort zone and I think that is definitely a good thing.

Please drop me a message if you have read this book as I would love to hear your thoughts.

Happy Reading!

The Willoughby Book Club

I have some exciting news!

My friend bought me a three month subscription to The Willoughby Book Club. I have always wanted to be part of a book subscription service and now I am. I can’t wait to get my next box with a beautifully wrapped book inside. It will be the perfect present at the beginning of the month.

I have had my first book box and I must admit I was jumping around with glee. It arrived way before my birthday so my husband hid it from me as I was so desperate to open the box and see what my new book was.

I will keep you all posted on my future book box arrivals!

Please let me know if you have a favourite book box subscription or if you are a fellow member of The Willoughby Book Club.

Happy Reading

Blogs I’ve Enjoyed this Week

Not a book blog but one that I have thoroughly enjoyed this week. Even though I don’t knit anymore due to tennis elbow I do enjoy a good knitting blog. So here is Jane with her blog Woolly Wednesday.

Next up is The Unapologetic Bookworm who has been doing some fantastic library posts this week. I love reading about people’s libraries at home and seeing how they organise their books and I have thoroughly enjoyed seeing how The Unapologetic Bookworm has been organising their books.

So there is another week.

Happy reading.
