It'sĀ the first in a series of five detective stories set in the imaginary ski resort of Schneeburg in the Austrian Alps. Klara Hartmann is the inspector I also have a website set up to help publicise the book - Stephen Hudson – Author Website. Getting the word out there is the one issue facing me at present. Would love you to give it a read. Stephen

J Anna

Seeking a book club

I live just outside of Dorchester. I enjoy all sorts of books, but really love quite dark and beautifully written books, and stories with complex characters. My favourite book of all time is The Secret History by Donna Tartt, which I've read over 10 times. I am hoping joining a book club could introduce me to something different. Mostly, though, I'd like to find a like-minded group to share my passion for reading.

Book Club

Seeking a book club

Looking to Join or Start a Social Book Club in Dorchester Hi everyone! I'm looking to join a friendly, social book club in Dorchester. I enjoy reading a wide range of genres—fiction, non-fiction, thrillers, fantasy, contemporary, and more—but I tend to avoid historical fiction and intense horror. Ideally, I'd love to meet every 2 weeks, perhaps on a Sunday afternoon at a cosy coffee shop in town. I'm also very open to making new friends and chatting about books, life, and everything in between. If you're part of a group like this or would be interested in starting one together, please do get in touch!

I like fiction and non-fiction. I love books with in depth character descriptions and character evolution, I like books that have artistic details and nature based books too.

Aimee

Seeking a book club

Hiya - looking for a social way to introduce me to new genres and authors! Love meeting new people, especially ones who are passionate about their interests. Mostly read non fiction and fantasy, but also enjoy horror and classics. 23F

Aimee recommends:

Piranesi by Susanna Clarke
Piranesi
by Susanna Clarke | Learn more and buy
I read (and loved) Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell when I was much younger so when I saw a new Susanna Clarke book I didn’t even read the blurb before jumping to read it! Luckily, I enjoyed Piranesi even more. It’s got fantastically detailed, unique world building. A haunted house story from the perspective of the ghost, but not in the way you would probably expect.
What You Are Looking For Is In The Library
by Michiko Aoyama | Learn more and buy
Lots of short stories, each uplifting in their own unique way. This book feels like a love letter to local community and to human kindness.

Reg

Seeking a book club

I am a regular Tour Guide at the two houses of Thomas Hardy in Dorchester. I am also a member of the Thomas Hardy Society. I have recently published a book called Thomas Hardy Abridged about his novels and short stories, that is now available on Amazon. I would be delighted to visit any local book clubs to present an hour's presentation on Hardy's life and loves. No fee just the opportunity to meet other Hardy fans and of course to sell some copies of my book!
