   The team at 'Books That Matter' recently stumbled across issue #74 of The Reader Magazine in a bookshop and enjoyed it so much they decided to include it in their end of year box. Every month, they have a different themed literary box full of treats by female authors, organisations and artists. This will be a fantastic opportunity for The Reader Magazine to reach brand new audiences. You can sign up for a monthly subscription, or just buy a single box.
