The Handmaids Tale

by Margret Atwood | Buy this book

I read this in sixth form and enjoyed it very much. It’s disturbing but also tackles real world issues which I think is very important!

Katie (Bracknell)

I’m 19, looking to join a book club with my friend (see post below). We ideally want something casual and relaxed, to make new friends and have a nice activity to do together. Personally I am open to any genre but I tend to lean towards fantasies :-)

Jerrisha (Bracknell)

I’m 19 looking to join a book club with my friend. I’m open to any genre feel free to contact me :)

Sam (Bracknell)

I like biographies, thrillers, classics - to be honest not many genres I don't like as long as the book is engaging. I would like to connect with others so I can chat about the books I am reading, not many in my immediate circle of friends are really into books much.

Sam recommends:

Taste - my life through food

by Stanley Tucci | Buy this book

Not just the story of his life and his Italian family, but also the recipes that he occasionally puts in - I am into cooking as well.

False Alarm

by Bjorn Lomberg | Buy this book

Very intriguing book about the false advertising of climate change activists and media, full of science and alternative solutions. I've not finished it yet, but so far very eye opening.

MillieB (Slough)

I like thrillers, romance, biographies I want to join a book club as I love reading and want to open my eyes to new genres

Bee (Ascot)

I’m a huge fan of the supernatural, thanks to the wicked stories my Gran used to tell when I was little. I’m looking to join a casual club since I won’t be able to meet regularly. I enjoy meeting new people, and reading books that expand the mind. It always makes for a good time!

Soph (Bracknell)

There isn't enough time in the day to read! I'll always have a book to hand and my favourite genre completely depends on my mood. I'd love to join a book group to discuss my favourite reads but also to dig into something I might not have picked otherwise!

CookhamMac (Maidenhead)

I'm looking for a varied group of people in my area who like to read books and then share their comments/experiences. I've self-published a novel fairly recently and enjoyed the experience....and learnt SO much. I want to learn more (from other readers and writers) and enjoy generating and discussing ideas with others. I need to get into the habit of reading more than I do and a fun book club would help that.

CookhamMac recommends:

Cider with Rosie

by Laurie Lee | Buy this book

The varied and beautifully described experiences of a boy growing up in a small Gloucestershire village in the years immediately following WW1.

The Devil and the River

by RJ Ellory | Buy this book

Very unusual novel with good characters and plot that unravels in a compelling way.

Reader86 (Sandhurst)

Mysteries, thrillers & cosy crime

Stephen (Wokingham)

I retired and wrote a book

Alksreads (Slough)

Any

D (Slough)

Want to expand reading genres

Carley G (Wokingham)

I am 46 year old and have lived in Wokingham for 2 years, I still do not know anyone and would like to meet other people and connect with. I completed a Counselling Psychology Degree in 2023 so I am interested in Psychology, but my lack of enthusiasm for reading holds me back. I used to love reading books but struggle to stick to one now. I found out that I have ADHD so my short term memory is not great and I find forgetting information that I have learnt is easy to do. So I would like to get back into reading and train my brain as well as meeting new people and hoping to make new friends. I am currently lacking in confidence and I am quite shy at first but grow more confident the more I socialise. Thank you

Antonina (Slough)

The murders at fleat House

by LUCINDA RILEY | Buy this book

The story of murder in a grammar school told by a great storyteller. I love the plot. The characters and the twists and turns as well as the development of the investigation.

I haven't read recently a good sci fi book. Can you recommend any?

Bookworm (Reading)

I’m 68 (recently retired) and looking to join a book club in the area to socialise and explore new and exciting novels with likeminded people.

Dominic (Newbury)

Hello. I'm based in Newbury, Berkshire and have recently got back into reading books. I used to read books all the time growing up, before slowing deviating away from them. I am aiming to read one a month this year and looking to meet/chat to new people. I haven't got an interest in a particular genre, but willing to give anything a try. Love a good murder mystery.

Nadiim (Slough)

I have revived an interest in reading. I like sociology, psychology, crime and comedy.

Jane S (Windsor)

I have always enjoyed reading and would love to meet new people who share my enthusiasm for books. I tend to gravitate towards contemporary fiction but really enjoy trying something different and know book groups can help me discover something new and interesting.
