The Willoughby Book Club Unboxing #3

The final package in my three month The Willoughby Book Club subscription arrived yesterday. And let me just say, this last book definitely didn’t disappoint. The people behind The Willoughby Book Club have made great choices the last two months (you can find the posts here and here) and I’ve been really pleased.

So, what did I get this month? It was A Lovely Way To Burn by Louise Welsh.

It’s an apocalyptic/dystopian novel with a murder mystery to boot. Set in a London ravaged by a deadly virus, one woman believes that it wasn’t the virus that killed her husband, but that someone murdered him instead. I think it sounds like a great idea, weaving my favourite genre with crime, and I’m excited to read it.

If you want to check out The Willoughby Book Club, you can find them here. I really do recommend them. They have so many different subscriptions and are great at tailoring books to your preferences. That way, you know you’re going to get a book you’ll like. Also, if they happen to send you a book you already have (which only happens to 1% of customers), they’ll send you a replacement completely free and let you keep the duplicate book so you can give it to a friend.

They’re UK based with free shipping, but do ship elsewhere for a fee. I also think they’re great value for money and really know their stuff when it comes to books! It’s an excellent way of finding new books and authors that you may have overlooked or never heard of.

The Willoughby Book Club Unboxing #2

So, another month, another package from The Willoughby Book Club! This is my second package in my three month membership and, once again, it was lovingly wrapped.

For anyone who doesn’t know, The Willoughby Book Club is a UK based book subscription service. Shipping is free to anywhere in the UK, but they do ship internationally for a fee, of course. They have a range of subscriptions, from Children’s to Young Adult to Historical to Non-Fiction. I have the Bespoke subscription, whereby you tell them what genres and authors you like best and they choose books based on your preferences. So far, they haven’t disappointed.

Last month, I got Vivian Versus the Apocalypse which I’m excited to read. This month, I didn’t get any freebies, but in terms of books I got I Am Legend by Richard Matheson.

 

I’ve seen the film adaptation with Will Smith and I thought it was great but, for some reason, I just never got round to reading the novel! I’m pretty excited to finally give it a go as it’s the book that inspired a lot of the zombie virus and vampire works in popular culture today. And, if you’ve been following my blog, you’ll know I like zombies!

Also, as a side note, that cover is pretty freaky.

The Willoughby Book Club Unboxing

As a birthday present, my sister signed me up for 3 months of The Willoughby Book Club subscription service!

My Mum is already a subscriber and she’s always had good picks from them, so I was excited to try it myself.

The books are always lovingly wrapped and often come with freebies, or the book will be a signed copy. This month, I got a bookmark, a ‘Bookworm’ sticker and a ‘Bookworm’ badge.

They have a range of subscriptions, from Children’s to Young Adult to Contemporary. I got the ‘Bespoke’ subscription where you choose your top 3 genres and describe your preferences. They also have a ‘Couples’ subscription where they send you two copies of the same book so you and your partner (or best friend) can read together, which I think is really cute.

Unfortunately, this month I already have the book they sent me, Red Rising by Pierce Brown. It’s an excellent pick, however, as I adore this series, and you can check out my reviews of Red Rising and Golden Son here and here.

But, if you already have the book they sent you (they say on their website that only 1% of subscribers receive a book they already have) they’ll send a replacement! You can also keep the copy they sent you so you can pass it onto someone else. I’m gonna force my boyfriend to read it.

I’m excited to see what replacement I get and, fingers crossed, it’s not something I already have! If you want to avoid duplicates, you can subscribe to their ‘spoiler service’ where they’ll tell you what book they’re sending each month.

Shipping is FREE for the UK. They do ship abroad, but of course there are shipping costs.

If you’d like to sign up to The Willoughby Book Club, you can find them here. They also have 10% off at the moment so hurry if you want to subscribe!
