dystopian fiction, intertwining stories of the different characters

Lasto4ka

Seeking a book club

Hi! I used to read in English when I lived in Ukraine, and I instilled a love of reading in my older child. When I moved to England, I stopped reading — a new country, a new language, helping the children adapt to a new place… it was hard, and it’s still hard. I try to study the language every night, but I don’t have many opportunities to practise it. The children have made good progress at school. Now the children are on holiday, and my older child has reading time, just like before. I really miss it. This will be my first time joining a book club Thank you!

Lucie

Before the Coffee Gets Cold

by Toshikazu Kawaguchi | Learn more and buy

It's an easy read that packs an emotional punch. The first in the series and will have you easily hooked. The encounters draw on stories we can also easily relate to and themes about loss, regret and love.

The Way of Kings

Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency

This book and the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy are what I turn to when I need a book to make me smile. It is effortlessly funny and tells a compelling mystery that only gains value on a reread.
