Daniel C

Seeking a book club

Hi there! I like a mixture of reading genres including a plethora of non-fiction genres such as philosophy, politics, art, history, religion and the like. Fiction genres include sci-fi, fantasy, literary and the occasional historical read.

Hello, I'm 21 and I want to join book club that has people who like Romance books and all the popular books seen on tiktok and Instagram. Also some of the books that are now being made into shows on prime video. I'd love to talk and read and make new friends since I'm new around. I just moved to South Devon.

Elderly, retired former English teacher. Outlived all former book-loving pals, still read but miss the company of like-minded others to exchange news / views on what we have read/are reading.

The Reaper by Peter Lovesey
The Reaper
by Peter Lovesey | Learn more and buy
A consumate storyteller and spinner of yarns, Lovesey has a wry sense of humour, which occasionally allows a passing chuckle for the unsuspecting reader when in the midst of shudders & shocks on the pages of this murder mystery! The hallmark of a Lovesey trait which can catch the reader to stop in their tracks, backpedal a paragraph, & confirm, yes, that mischeivous use of irony added a touch, enhanced the scene-brought it close to what can occur in real life. It is the kind of short, well plotted book to reach for after a lengthy, intense, serious & cerebral read -a little light relief before reaching for your next C.J.Sansom or Follet.

Bay Bookclub

Book club

For people who like reading and want to meet up from time to time using the book we have all read as a starter to a conversation over a coffee. We don’t take ourselves too seriously and there is no judgement if you start a book and don’t finish it or don’t start it at all!

Dean

Seeking a book club

I love exploring different worlds whether that is historical fiction, future fantasy or a contemporary novel. Recent titles have included "Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow", "The skeleton key" and "Before your memory fades". Authors that I go back to are Ken Follet, Robert Harris and Ian McEwan. But I love to find new authors, such as my recommendation below.

Dean recommends:

In Ascension by Martin MacInnes
In Ascension

Quality writing that reminds me of Ian McEwan and Ian Banks. A great story that makes me think and reconsider my perspective.
