Seeking a book club

I’m very late 50s but only on my birth certificate. Love reading widely, crime but also feel good fiction. Don’t mind a glass of wine and a not too serious chat.

I read a range of genres, typically decided by my mood but my faves are romantasy and fantasy with some thriller thrown in there. I’m wanting to make friends who share the same interests as me and love books just as much as me! I would love casual meet ups with a matcha and sweet treat<3

Seeking a book club

I'm Peter, I love a good suspense thriller or a good crime drama. I've just recently started getting back into reading again and have an obsession with Harlan Coben novels but can read anything that has a good plot.

Peter recommends:

Murder at Mt. Fuji
by Shizuko Natuki | Learn more and buy
It's promoted through Waterstones as the best murder thriller out at the moment.

Grew-up reading Austen and Tolkien, most frequently read fantasy these days but dabble in other genres. Most recently enjoyed The Three Body Problem, by Cixin Liu. Would love to meet some local like-minded folks and get ideas for future reads!

Kate

Seeking a book club

I've got a job that's quite boring so I read a lot to pass the time. I've been trying to read a book a week for the last few years. Sometimes one will take a month then I'll get through 3 in a week! Books are my escape and I'd like someone to share my enthusiasm. I read a wide range of things and I know there's great stuff in all genres but my favourites are probably Sci-Fi and dystopias. I definitely read more non-fiction though: science, history, politics, comedy and autobiographies mostly.

Kate recommends:

Babel by R.F. Kuang
Babel
by R.F. Kuang | Learn more and buy
It took me a while to get into this and I thought it might be a bit too academic for me but I persisted and it really paid off once I understood the ideas coming together. It combines history and Sci-Fi to tell important truths about the world which I was somewhat ignorant of. Best book I've read this year.

Annie P

Seeking a book club

I am over 50, love reading and would like to join a book club nearby. It would be good to combine this with an odd wine or two and not too serious!

Annie P recommends:

Life of Pi
by Yann Martell | Learn more and buy
It evoked discussion about religion, identity, family loyalty. It combined this with fantasy and was very well written. Easily understood but could be interpreted in different ways.

I'm a mum to a one year old. I'm looking for a weekday evening book club to start spending some time on myself again! I like literary fiction, modern classics, and horror. I'm also a scientist and enjoy non-fiction books about science.

Erin recommends:

The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson
The Haunting of Hill House
by Shirley Jackson | Learn more and buy
I love stories where it is ambiguous whether there is a supernatural entity or whether people are juat going mad, and this is the absolute best of them!
