Ali

Seeking a book club

Hi, I'm 25 years old and just got back into reading. I used to read a lot of Crime and Fantasy Romance but this year have gotten into Science Fiction a lot more. I'm mainly interested in meeting new people across the West Midlands and finding new stories across any genre.

Ali recommends:

Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky
Children of Time
by Adrian Tchaikovsky | Learn more and buy
This is probably the best pure science fiction book I have read. Each pov is of a scope that is hard to get right and each for different reasons and yet Adrian has nailed it.
Babel by R.F. Kuang
Babel
by R.F. Kuang | Learn more and buy
I have only just finished this book so my opinion may yet change, but right now it feels like a wholly unique story. The subject matter itself, I've never seen so directly tackled in a "fantasy" like this, while the worldbuilding must've been hell to write. As a monolingual the use and manipulation of language in the book I was captivated by and really sets it apart from pretty much every other "magic" system I've ever seen before.
The Two Towers by J.R.R. Tolkien
The Two Towers
by J.R.R. Tolkien | Learn more and buy
An obvious literary masterpiece of a series, but what struck me finally reading the series was that despite TLOTR's reputation for its 1000s of years of history and detailed legendarium and all, the trilogy itself is a pretty well-flowing, not overly self-obsessed story. While a lot of modern fantasy has become obsessed with its own world, in these books the world is there to explore, but it's not getting in the way of the story itself. It makes it a much better read and makes it so much easier to appreciate the story and characters.
The Magician King by Lev Grossman

The "Narnia but bad" story is so common in fantasy but this is so great in a completely different way to the TV show.

Katie

Seeking a book club

Hi! I moved to the west midlands nearly a year ago and am looking to make friends and settle more into the area, and to have some external pressures to actually finish my books! I enjoy sci-fi and fantasy books best, but honestly I'm willing to give any genre a go at least once. Looking for other people to meet up with every so often to chat, knit and discuss book emotions with.

An Ember in the Ashes by Sabaa Tahir

If you are looking for a book that has romance, fantasy and little smut this is the book for you. I was hooked from page one, Sabaa Tahir has such beautiful writing that encapsulates you into another world. it has drama, suspense, comedy, and most of all Elais.

Amanda

Seeking a book club

Hi, I'm Amanda. I love reading, always have. I am open to reading anything and find my choices reflect how busy work is, sometimes a gritty thriller is great other times I just need a bit of fluff that doesn't require too many brain cells to work hard. I am also looking to expand my friendship groups with people who have similar interests.

Hev_reads

Seeking a book club

Im Heather and I’m 34. I am and have always been an avid reader. I love any kind of book but very much into fantasy, fae, Sarah J Maas vibes at the moment. I also love a good who dunnit. I’ve wanted to join a book club for as long as I can remember, a new year seems the perfect time. I’d love to meet other bookish people to chat to as I don’t have many readers around me and to debrief after I finish a really good book!

Tower of dawn by Sarah J Maas

It’s part of an amazing series, and there is such great development of characters in this who had previously not had a massive amount of book time.

The writing in this is superb, very funny at times and verges on ‘should I really be laughing at this?!’ 🫤
