Hannah V

Seeking a book club

I have recently got back into reading after a hiatus that coincided with having a baby. The baby I now 8 years old and I'm managing to read again! Would love to meet some new people, get out of my little bubble and read more and chat about reading. I enjoy 'easy' books that don't require too much brain power but also appreciate something a bit more meaty for time to time. Have just finished Shari Low's One Day with You, The Familiars was brilliant, really enjoying Mike Gayle's books, and the best book I may have ever read is Weyward by Emilia Hart.

The Handmaids Tale
by Margret Atwood | Learn more and buy
I read this in sixth form and enjoyed it very much. It’s disturbing but also tackles real world issues which I think is very important!
