Matt (Reading)

Seeking a book club

I am happy to read anything! I'm an English teacher so have a totally open mind when it comes to books. The last book I read was A Woman's Story by Annie Ernaux, and I'm currently reading Slouching Towards Bethlehem by Joan Didion. I love books that make me think, laugh out loud, or both, and would love to find like-minded people. Ew, gross

Flo (Reading)

Seeking a book club

Hello! I've recently moved to Reading and I'd love to join or create a book club. I read everything but I love literary fiction, magic realism, short stories, detective stories, ghost stories and anything a bit witchy. I'm hoping to meet new people in the area and would love to hear from you if you're feeling similarly bookish!

Flo recommends:

A Ghost in the Throat
by Doireann Ní Ghríofa | Learn more and buy
’This is a female text borne of guilt and desire, stitched to a soundtrack of cartoon nursery rhymes.’ ‘This is a female text and it is a tiny miracle that it even exists, as it does in this moment, lifted to another consciousness by the ordinary wonder of type. Ordinary, too, the ricochet of thought that swoops, now, from my body to yours.’ ‘This is a female text, written in the twenty-first century. How late it is. How much has changed. How little.’ ‘This is a female text, which is also a caoineadh: a dirge and a drudge-song, an anthem of praise, a chant and a keen, a lament and an echo, a chorus and a hymn. Join in.’ This is a strange and beautiful book about women telling stories of birth and death across centuries in Ireland. It's about motherhood and grief and longing and language. It is part memoir and part translation of an old Irish story from 1773. When I finished it I felt lucky to have found something so beautiful, and I also felt completely haunted by it.

Freya (Reading)

Seeking a book club

Hey! I’m Freya, I’m 19 and I have been wanting to join a book community for quite some time. I love books, especially detective stories or depraved literature, and always wanted to be part of a book club in school but just felt too shy to step out of my comfort zone. I’m looking for a group of people aged 18 and over as I’d like to broaden my social circle and hear from lots of different age groups.

Freya recommends:

The Secret Place by Tana French
The Secret Place
by Tana French | Learn more and buy
I love French’s centralisation of Dublin and her highly visual style that engrosses you in to the world of the Murder Squad series. However, I enjoyed this book the most as it presented the kinship between a group of young girls as almost magical in a way that resonated with me so much, increased by an actual supernatural element she involves that draws them closer. I would recommend to anyone even if they’re not in to detective novels, as I believe it’s accessible to people that are interested in lots of different genres.
