Druss the legend

by David Gemmel | Learn more and buy

The book is a typical hero story but has the depth and struggles that resonates with all.

Aaron (Haywards Heath)

Seeking a book club

I like to read but I can rarely get myself motivated to read as there are too many distractions like my phone ect... if I have others who are reading with me I'm more motivated and would love to share opinions about the book.

Andy (Littlehampton)

Seeking a book club

After almost a lifetime of reading as solitary exercise I now think I should meet like minded people. Currently going through the Rebus novels chronologically and have discovered The Kiln by William McIlvanney, an author that influenced Ian Rankin greatly. Although, this is not a crime novel. Milan Kundera is another writer that I admire.

Andy recommends:

Swimming to Cambodia

by Spalding Gray | Learn more and buy

Wonderful wry observations

ev_palmer04 (Chichester)

Seeking a book club

I love reading! my favourite genres include fantasy, romantasy, and romance but I'm totally open to reading other genres - I have been known to enjoy thrillers and crime thrillers. I'm looking for my next few reads that I'll actually enjoy - currently getting my next reads from Goodreads and booktok

ev_palmer04 recommends:

Fourth Wing

by Rebecca Yarros | Learn more and buy

The romance is secondary! and the plot is really enjoyable and I really loved the main character. Also before Fourth Wing I'd never enjoyed books or stories that involved dragons but Yarros does it such a good way that I started to miss reading about the dragon characters in other books.

A Good Girl's Guide to Murder

by Holly Jackson | Learn more and buy

It took me so long to read this book because of the EPQ sections but I found myself starting to prefer those sections towards the end of the book. I love Pip and Ravi; and the mystery element in this book is incredible

Danielle (Billingshurst)

Seeking a book club

Hi, I’m looking for a book club that runs properly. I started one in billi a month ago and I’ve been trying to get suggestions that’s “don’t mind” to everything and people who said they were interested didn’t show. So I gave up on that. I’m 34, studying health and social care, I’d love to meet new people! Make new friends and a reason to actually finish a book. I like reading thrillers mainly and some non fiction that’s health related, but some pretty random ones in between

Danielle recommends:

The crow girl

by Erik Axl Sund | Learn more and buy

It’s dark and has great twists

Jo (Chichester)

Seeking a book club

I have recently moved back to the area after living abroad and would love to meet new people and connect over books and coffee (or wine!) 52 years old and work from home so it would be lovely to connect with new people who love reading and books! I like most genres, mostly thrillers, fiction, family drama, romance and historical fiction.
