Dear Editor,
Thoughts for many of your more organised readers may already be turning to what flowers, chocolates, celeb autobiography, or scented candle to buy this Mother’s Day. For others, they’ll be anticipating that growing feeling of dread as they’re faced with another last-minute present dash. As head bookworm at the international disaster relief charity, I can’t help but wonder whether it’s time to think outside the box, or bookcase? Whether you buy ahead or leave it to the last minute, ShelterBox has you covered. ShelterBox Book Club focuses on international stories inspired by the communities we support around the world. For a donation of £10 a month, members vote for the next title, receive their new book in the post and join an online discussion every six weeks. The gift of joining our growing online community of book lovers could be a fantastic alternative option. Gift membership is available in packages of three, six, and twelve months. And, better still, it’s even suitable for those who, like me, will inevitably leave it to the morning of Sunday 27 March to turn their attention to the perfect gift.
