Jack

Seeking a book club

Hello! My name is Jack, I am a 28 year old male and regular at the Congleton library. My favourite genre of books have to be fantasy and sci-fi; though always happy to broaden my literary horizons! Would love to join a local book group to find some gems; whether that be books or new acquaintances.

Jack recommends:

Mortal Engines by Philip Reeve

Read this (and it’s 3 sequels) when I was in my teens and the story/characters have never left me. Highly recommend to anyone who reads this.
