Emma

Seeking a book club

I like historical fiction, biography, and anything that comes passionately recommended. I'd like to talk more about books and make some new friends along the way. 51 years old, WD3, and would like to meet up at an evening book event/ club, but not yet found any near me.

Educated

by Tara Westover | Learn more and buy

Awful story of a girl who is trapped and isolated by her family. True story. Ultimately uplifting but not until she has been through a traumatic childhood in rural America where social services don't intervene for fear of insulting religion.

Sham

Seeking a book club

Hello all I have just started to read and need a push and more talk around good reads. Looking to join clubs that will help readers to finish a good read.

Sham recommends:

The Journey

by SSJV | Learn more and buy

A women’s struggle of losing her child.

Belle

Seeking a book club

I like exploring genres, love a fantasy series. I prefer the romance to be subtle (eye contact, how scandalous). Books this year have been fantasy, crime, and science fiction. Mainly looking for recommendations, I am terrible at picking new reads.

Belle recommends:

Jurassic Park

by Michael Crichton | Learn more and buy

Better than the film, we get to know the characters and the goings on of the park in more depth. There is more to the story than 'get the power on and get off the island'.

The Stormlight Archive

by Brandon Sanderson | Learn more and buy

A fantastical world with knights, kings and a science-based magic. Follows a handful of characters through war and discoveries. I cried, laughed, rolled my eyes and sighed at how long several of the books are... the first one takes 500 pages to get into it, but I can say with confidence it is very much worth it.

Gone Girl

by Gillian Flynn | Learn more and buy

First time reading a crime book, incredibly compelling. I have not watched the film but have been told the book was better so do what that information what you will. Loved the twists and turns but I will admit the ending was a little disappointing.

Debbie

Seeking a book club

I love travel books, biographies, art, photography, history books etc! I feel like we've got similar interests in reading :)

Debs

Seeking a book club

Hi I'm Debs, I love reading but sometimes need motivation to finish books or get into a certain genre! I love books on psychology, sci-fi, fantasy, biographies etc. My favourite book of all time is The Book Thief by Markus Zusak. In my free time, I travel a lot, I like to cook, go for walks and hikes etc

AshRose

Seeking a book club

Hi, I’m Ashley, F, I love reading in my free time and I’m looking for readers like me to talk books or be part of a book club. I do a bit of writing as well (on online forums etc), but I am not published yet. I’m happy to meet virtually or in person anywhere around Hertfordshire on a regular basis. We can make it a fun day! The genres I love are; fantasy, dark romance, thriller, crime, horror, sci-fi, LGBT, classic.

May

Seeking a book club

Reading was something I enjoyed in the past, but for various reasons, I haven't been reading as much lately. I would love to reconnect with my favourite pastime again while meeting like-minded people. I love most fiction books except for horror and violence.

May recommends:

Angela’s Ashes

by Frank McCourt | Learn more and buy

A story of extreme hardship and suffering, in Brooklyn tenements and Limerick slums – too many children, too little money, his mother Angela barely coping as his father Malachy's drinking bouts constantly brings the family to the brink of disaster. It is a story of courage and survival against apparently overwhelming odds.

Bryony recommends:

Life after life

by Kate Atkinson | Learn more and buy

As always with Atkinson this book is beautifully written and combines some heart breaking subjects and the authors usual black humour. The book follows the life/ lives of Ursula who is re-born multiple times, each time learning from the mistakes of her previous life. A really unusual concept but brilliantly pulled off.

Diebs

Seeking a book club

I am an eclectic reader and particularly enjoy books on or about travel, biographies, crime fiction, WWII history, photography, Greek and Roman classics, ... I would enjoy hearing how other readers interpret books, and would enjoy the social side of being a member of a bookclub.

Diebs recommends:

Consequences

Inter-generational and emotional relationships
