Amber (Newport)

Seeking a book club

hello! I'm not as much of a reader as I would like to be, but trying to get back into it. I am into psychological fiction and detective stories, but happy to read almost anything. Currently working through the Sherlock Holmes books and really enjoying them. Would love to meet and get to know some new people, and join a book club to get me back into books! 24 y/o, based in Newport

Amber recommends:

The Secret History

by Donna Tart | Learn more and buy

Love anything with a group of misfits, and weird interpersonal relationships. The characters are intentionally unlikeable but not to the point of annoyance. Its quite dark but not written in a way that feels to edgy or over-dramatic. Really great read!

Shell1387 (Abergavenny)

Seeking a book club

I've come back to reading following a hiatus in which I was focusing on studying and my career. I'm in my 30s and looking to meet new people in the area, as I am somewhat new to Newport. I'm currently reading the Game of Thrones saga. Favourite book is probably Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close.

Extremely unique narrative! Written in the first person by a child who struggles with ASD and grief.

Brilliantly written! The right edge of science, emotion and humour. Highly recommend the audible version too.
