Hello, I'm Phoebe from Dorset, UK. I have a degree in film and an NVQ in health & social care. My favourite genres of book are horror, thriller and fantasy. I want to join a book club because I want to start diversifying my reading and tackle my social anxiety.

The Diviners

by Libba Bray | Learn more and buy

The fantasy element is so well done because it's entangled with history and in particular the 1920s flapper era. The characters are all so well developed and as a reader, you can feel everything they do.

Fourth Wing

by Rebecca Yarros | Learn more and buy

It’s such a popular and well known one now! But I love this book for getting me back into reading, and sparking the excitement in me, that I felt when I was younger reading Harry Potter and Percy Jackson. It’s a great read and a great starter book to get into the romantasy genre, complex grey characters and enemies to lovers trope.

Happy to have discussion about plots, characters and themes or just casual talk and a good laugh. I like variety of genres, classics, horrors, romance, non-fiction, and I enjoy fan fiction stories.
