Claus (Weston-super-Mare)

Seeking a book club

I moved to England (Weston-super-mare) recently and I found myself reading more. I am discovering nice fiction, non-fiction, biographies, philosophy, etc. books. I am interested in finding a book club, where we can meet to discuss about a specific book, make friends, enjoy some tea and a nice chat.

The song of Achilles

I’ve read this book 3 times now and it gets better each time I swear. I love Greek mythology retellings and this is by far my favourite.

The School for Good Mothers

It keeps you on the edge of your seat. Couldn't put it down. Lots of twists and turns.

Gemma (Frome)

Seeking a book club

I’m pretty varied when it comes to genres but right now I love a good romance, particularly any that include fantasy or dystopian setting. Looking for like minded reader/s who like a good natter too - over a coffee or on a walk would be fab.

CaitlynB (Glastonbury)

Seeking a book club

I’m 24 and currently living in Glastonbury. The books I read go from classics to typical beach reads. Meeting up around crisps, wine or cupcakes to talk about these would be great.

You Could Be so Pretty

by Holly Bourne | Learn more and buy

It’s a YA dystopia that makes you reflect on social norms around beauty standards for women. Bourne creates an engaging plot while also commenting on the social pressures put on women to appear a certain way to men, other women and even to people in their close circles.

I used to love English Literature at school, it would have been my degree but my terrible A-Level tutor put me off. As an adult, I have returned to reading classic novels for pleasure, but also enjoy anything with a good story and well developed characters.
