Concy (Watford)

Seeking a book club

Hello! I have always loved reading particularly fantasy books. I remember when a book was keeping me awake as I could not stop reading it or how at times the words were creating images in my Mind almost like I was actually watching a movie. Life, work and being an adult has taken a priority in the last couple of years and I would like to enjoy again reading while also meeting people in my area since I have recently moved in Watford.

Mark (Bishop's Stortford)

Seeking a book club

I love reading sci-fi, dystopia and non-fiction science - amongst others. Would like to discuss books and share book recommendations.

Mark recommends:

1984

by George Orwell | Learn more and buy

Orwell is a master at creating this dystopian world that slowly draws you in and doesn't let you escape. For those that haven't read it you'll be surprised with how many ideas and phrases from the book people still in use today - a must read for all

Ben (Watford)

Seeking a book club

Reading is something that has taken a back seat in my life, in recent years. I’d love to get back in the habit of reading and seeking out new books. I’ve not been in a book group before but would love to start/ join one!

Cameron (Hertford)

Seeking a book club

Hiya, I’m new to the area and looking for other people that share my passion of reading. I’m into dark Russian literature (Dostoevsky is the GOAT) and nihilistic first person books such as American pyscho and less than zero. Hit me up if you need a new member to join your group.

tf-ted (Hemel Hempstead)

Seeking a book club

(29M) Over the last year have really got into reading and have no friends to chat to them about! I'm pretty open to all genres but have had a hard time in the past with fantasy. I mostly read classics, romance, and contemporary fiction. But can always be persuaded.

tf-ted recommends:

Cleopatra & Frankenstein

by Coco Mellors | Learn more and buy

While some of the characters stories can feel incomplete, or forgotten, the story of Cleo & Frank's relationship is one that has sat with me for quite some time. There are many beautiful moments I think about often, and a fun mixture of people squashed into this story!

The Secret History

by Donna Tartt | Learn more and buy

In the midst of reading this, I kind of hated it but also in awe of it. But looking back, there is so much of this story that sits on my mind and I NEED to talk to someone about this novel!

Tom (Waltham Cross)

Seeking a book club

24, Avid reader of all sorts looking for recommendations and a friendly regular bunch to discuss if possible

Tom recommends:

The Will of the Many

by James Islington | Learn more and buy

Last book I read so fresh in the mind, a fantasy roman adjacent setting that got me out of a reading slump

Kip (Radlett)

Seeking a book club

Love novels but am often disappointed, but think I may sometimes not appreciate their deeper meaning. Keen to discuss and learn from others to pick up things I might have missed.

Kip recommends:

The English Patient

by Michael Ondaatje | Learn more and buy

It describes in lyrical detail both the awfulness, but also the brilliance and liberation, of the sense of alienation

Kate (Bishop's Stortford)

Seeking a book club

I am 61, female and would like to join a book club annd meet some new friends.

Alison Knight (Stevenage)

Seeking a book club

Avid reader of all that are books

Ken (Hemel Hempstead)

Seeking a book club

62 years old, had been attending a central London book group near my place of work for 10 years until a change to a job in Hemel made it impractical (though I do still follow their choices). Though the group's choices have touched on the crime & sci-fi genres, they have largely centered on modern general fiction with the occasional 19th / 20th century classic. I live in the Grovehill area of Hemel, and as I have to rely on public transport, any meetings would ideally be in the Hemel Town Centre area, or nearby.

Kiss Club (Keep It Sassy & Steamy) (Hemel Hempstead)

Book club

Ideally looking for people willing to meet up at least once per month in person, but we can start off online as well. We'll choose a book per month then meet and discuss. We would mix it up a bit to cover multiple subgenres. Looking to engage with book lovers who would also be committed to fun book ideas such as blind date with a book etc. I am located in Boxmoor.

Sasha (Hemel Hempstead)

Seeking a book club

34 year old who recently moved to the UK. Very avid reader of romance books. I am well acquainted with the book industry and publishing. A part of several book groups on Facebook. Looking to connect with people who love books as much as I do.

Sasha recommends:

Captive Prince trilogy

by C.S. Pacat | Learn more and buy

It's rare that I find that MM genre romance set in an ancient world time-frame. I enjoyed the slow burn, the character development, the time period and how appropriate the language and plot are to the time period.
