Chris (Helston)

Seeking a book club

Hi I like to read sci fi, fantasy, horror. But if the story is good i will read anything. I want to meet up with like minded people where we can discuss what we have been reading and hopefully strike up new friendships.

Lorna (Wadebridge)

Seeking a book club

Hi I’m 55 and love reading (obviously!) walking, exercise, food and wine

Lorna recommends:

Secret History

by Donna Tartt | Learn more and buy

An oldie but a goodie! Tartt’s ability to transport the reader into her world is just unbeatable. But (cheating here) I would also say the Hilary Mantel trilogy are ALSO my favourites As Is the Margaret Atwood Oryx and Crake trilogy …. Sorry, I find it so hard to pick a ‘favourite’….can you tell?! I’m also a massive Stephen King fan…

Lorna (Wadebridge)

Seeking a book club

I love books - all kinds of fiction but am totally open to non-fiction too! I use audible and paper to get my ‘fix’ and would love a book club to get recommendations, discuss, make new friends and have an excuse for a glass of wine :)

Janine (Liskeard)

Seeking a book club

I will read pretty much anything but my usual taste is non fiction (memoir, travel writing, essays,) plays, poetry, literary fiction and classics. I do like genre stuff too - crime and sci-fi mostly but really I’m not fussy and will give anything a chance. I would like to meet others to socialise with and talk books :)

RichReads (Truro)

Seeking a book club

Hello, I’d love to meet other people who enjoy reading, talking about books and going off on tangents. I read fairly widely (I think) - a mix of fiction and non-fiction. I’m a big fan of collected short stories and novellas in particular.

RichReads recommends:

All Fours

by Miranda July | Learn more and buy

Whip-smart, funny as hell and rang very true, despite the more outlandish elements

Bunker

by Bradley Garrett | Learn more and buy

It’s so bleak but compelling, and an effortless read. A genuine page turner. Beautifully thoughtful and well written.

Dawn (Redruth)

Seeking a book club

I used to be an avid reader but have lost interest these days. I'm 61 and spend a huge amount of time walking my collie. I have recently started weight resistance training. Both aren't that social so I think joining a book club will rekindle my love of books and enable me to meet new people to discuss books with/get recommendations.

Dawn recommends:

Women who run with wolves

by Clarissa Pinkola | Learn more and buy

It's a book of old fables past down from generations about women and their suffering. It tells different stories to help women understand life, strife, love, protection and what it is to be female with a strong sense of smell and intuition; like a wolf.

Lucy (Fowey)
