Claire (Kilmarnock)

I love reading and myself and my 18 year old daughter are looking to join a local book club. We read crime, comedy, the classics, dystopian adventure, science fiction, biographies, basically will try anything. Would love to join a club for book recommendations and chat about our love of books. I am 51 years of age and partially retired. I was a police officer for 25 years and now work part time as a clerk within the NHS. My daughter Sam is an art student and we live in Kilmarnock.

Educated

Beautifully written, raw, honest and you feel the emotions as they do.

Will Robbie series - 5 books

Each book can be read independently but the characters develop over the series. Good attention to detail and excitement making you want to keep reading. I typically read each book over 1-2 days

Orwellian1984 (Kilmarnock)

I’m a 41 year old nurse lecturer mother of three. I have always wanted to join a book club and finally have the time. I love to read classic literature, dystopian or ancient history. Occasionally a bit of pseudo- history. I also enjoy reading about the history of psychiatry and mental health. Bit nuanced but I would love to connect with other like minded people.

Orwellian1984 recommends:

1984

by George Orwell | Learn more and buy

I’ve read this book many times. It was written by Orwell at the end of his life and he never got to see the impact. This book resonates across generations with themes of truth, government mass control, loss of freedom and uncertainty about the future. A book relevant today and way ahead of its time.

Helen (Ayr)

I enjoy reading a wide selection of books and I think it's fun to share thoughts and ideas about books with other book lovers. I am in Cumnock and looking for other local people to get together and maybe create a relaxed and friendly book club.

Sue (Saltcoats)
