Shirley (Southampton)

Seeking a book club

I'd like to meet up with other readers reasonably locally. My passion is social justice so I appreciate any novel tackling these issues e.g. The Women by Kristin Hannah. But also love reading crime and psychological thrillers. More commercial than literary. Favourite authors Lianne Moriarty, Clare Macintosh, Robert Galbraith Strike series, Elly Griffiths Ruth Galloway series. I'm also a writer and run a writing group in Dibden Purlieu.

Nic (Fareham)

Seeking a book club

Hi, I’m Nicola—bookish and bold, With a TBR pile that’s out of control. I want to join book clubs to feel refined… Then loudly judge characters I secretly like. I love a plot twist, a scandal, a curse, And I’ll always pretend I’ve read the whole verse. (But if I didn’t quite finish, I’ll nod and agree, While sipping my tea suspiciously…) From moody memoirs to sassy romance, If the book has drama—I’ll give it a chance. So if you need laughs, hot takes, or debate, I’m your reader—just try not to be late (I’m always 10 mins behind).

Grace (Hayling Island)

Seeking a book club

I have recently rediscovered my love for reading. I am mainly into the romance or non-fiction genres at the moment (very different, I know!), but I am trying to broaden my horizons. I have just read Sally Rooney's 'Normal People' and I feel my life has been changed. For better or worse, I do not yet know...!

Grace recommends:

Normal People

by Sally Rooney | Learn more and buy

The emotions are portrayed, I think, so significantly and intricately. The dialogue, mixed with the prose, is a refreshing read.

French 39 (Southampton)
