Adina

Seeking a book club

Hi, I’m Adina. I enjoy books that pull you in and stay with you - whether that’s fiction, psychological reads, or something beautifully written. I’d love to join a group where conversations flow easily, ideas are shared, and it’s as much about connection as it is about the books. Also always open to recommendations!

Adina recommends:

The Kite Runner
by Khaled Hosseini | Learn more and buy
It’s beautifully written and deeply emotional, exploring friendship, guilt, and redemption. It’s one of those stories that really stays with you.

Laurie

Seeking a book club

Hi, I'm Laurie, 24 :) I'm looking to join a local (Northampton) book club to make friends and help with my reading goal for the year. I mostly read literary fiction and classics but I'm not really fussed about what I read - it's fun to branch out now and again.

Laurie recommends:

The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt
The Goldfinch
by Donna Tartt | Learn more and buy
It's veeery long - over 750 pages - which is obviously not for everyone, but it's written in a very accessible and immersive style. A teenage boy growing up in New York City in the early 2000s is the victim of a museum bombing, and while concussed steals a priceless painting (The Goldfinch), believing that he's protecting it. Since his only close relative - his mother - is killed in the attack, he then drifts from home to home, trying to keep his possession of the painting a secret. Great for people who enjoy more "literary" stories, as it's reminiscent of Dickens and other Victorian novels, but also a brilliant coming-of-age story. I first read it when I was nineteen and have been obsessed ever since.

Miriam

Seeking a book club

I have always loved reading and now enjoy audio books when out and about walking. I love all genres and rarely "give up on a book". I moved to the area a few years ago but what with working full time and mainly at home, would like to find an outlet/way to socialise and meet new people.

Miriam recommends:

All the colours of the dark by Chris Whitaker
All the colours of the dark
by Chris Whitaker | Learn more and buy
Beautifully written epic story about childhood trauma, deep friendship, love, loss and survival, wrapped in a small-town mystery thriller. One of those books you are sad to see end.
