What have you done?

by Shari Lapena | Buy this book

The core of the story is not one I have read before.. I couldn’t guess the next chapter.

Janice (Antrim)

30F enjoy sometimes light and cheerful fiction but sometimes the good going non fiction stuff. Currently going through the ACOTAR series!

Lara (Ballyclare)

Hi, My name is Lara and I'm looking for a book club to chat about books and get good recommendations! I read most genre but do have a soft spot for fantasy with Sir Terry Pratchett, Charles De Lint and Ursula le Guin being amongst my favourites and historical fiction - Hilary Mantel, Ken Follett etc. I'm also looking to push myself out of my comfort zone a little. I've stopped going out, stopped trying new things and I think it would do me good to meet some new people and people who love books, seems like a safe place to start!

Lara recommends:

Night Watch

by Terry Pratchett | Buy this book

Sir Terry was an expert in satire and the human condition. This book the 6th book in the Watch series and probably STP's best book. It's not a place I'd recommend starting, that would be Guards Guards, but my life would be less bright without this book in it.

Charlie (Lisburn)

I'm a 30 year old female who lives in Lisburn. I read a lot of YA fantasy authors like Tricia Levensellar and am currently going through the ACOTAR series. I dabble in some thrillers, mainly books by Frieda McFadden such as The Housemaid and am trying to expand beyond my comfort zone to old classics such as the Sherlock Holmes stories by Arthur Conan Doyle. I'd really like to join a book club that shares my interests and hopefully in the long run become book 'buddies'.

The Vampire Academy series

by Richelle Mead | Buy this book

These books tug at the heartstrings in a lot of different ways. The protagonist is lovable and funny and has a great character arc and the book is filled with action, mystery and scandal. It's a real dolly mixture!

The Guardians of Time series

by Marianne Curley | Buy this book

This time travelling series is another one that has a bit of everything. Romance, adventure, action and drama and is full of lovable characters. The story is based on a group of kids who time travel to stop important members of history being eradicated to progress in the war between order and chaos. This is one of my guilty pleasures that I tend to go back and reread once in a while.

Leeanne (Newtownabbey)

I’m 42 and love a good thriller and sometimes a good romance book. Love talking about books and getting recommendations 📚

Speak Of The devil

by Rose wilding | Buy this book

About 7 women who is being questioned about Jamie's head is found in new years eve

Dodge30 (Ballymena)

Hi all, had a new years resolution to read more, and I am now on my 11th book and loving it

David (Antrim)

Hello, I read a lot of dystopian sci fi books as well as mysteries and thrillers I'm currently reading Tender Is The Flesh by Agustina Bazterrica. It's pretty bleak and I'm not sure if I would recommend it to be honest. My favorite book I've read over the past year has been The Outsider by Stephen King. On a personal note I'm 21 and really into rock climbing at the moment.

Jennifer (Antrim)

Hi my name is Jenny, I’m 40 and have recently got back into ready thanks to booktok. My favourite genre is horror, gothic and folk horror. Currently working through a very long TBR list (again thanks to booktok) and would like to connect with people with similar interests to discuss the books and offer further recommendations on books.

Jennifer recommends:

Last house on needless street

by Catriona Ward | Buy this book

Seen through the eyes of several different characters. When you feel like you know what is going to happen, you are completely taken down a different direction. A fantastic twist at the end. Read in a day and a half, very difficult to set down.

Gayle (Newtownabbey)

I’m 44 from Newtownabbey. I love reading particularly historical fiction and thrillers

Gayle recommends:

Behind closed doors

by B A Paris | Buy this book

This book kept me hooked the whole way through.

Frances (Carrickfergus)

I've just moved to the area. Looking to meet new friends through my love of reading

Meghan (Lisburn)

I’m 27, from Lisburn. I read a mix of romance, thriller/mystery and the odd fantasy. I’m also trying to write my own novel (slow progress). I would like to find someone who shares the same love for reading as I do. My OG favourite is the Harry Potter set. Recently I have fallen down the BookTok rabbit hole and my bookshelf and bank account still haven’t forgiven me!

Meghan recommends:

Daisy Jones and The Six

by Taylor Jenkins Reid | Buy this book

It’s a breath of fresh air and is written in an interview style which is a breeze when you get into the swing of it. You transport back in time and feel like you are part of the band. This book left a giant hole in my heart when I finished it and I wish I could erase from my memory and read it with fresh eyes again.

The Book Thief

by Markus Zusak | Buy this book

I couldn’t put this down. I fell in love with Liesel and Rudy and I went through every emotion while reading this.

Fairytale

by Stephen King | Buy this book

This book. Wow. It blew my mind and left a gaping hole when I finished it. I couldn’t get into a book for weeks after finishing this one. It was magnificent and I couldn’t wait to get home from work to dive right back into the world King has opened.

TiernanFitzLark (Antrim)

Hi I'm Tiernan, I enjoy a mix of genres like horror, sci-fi, Irish history and travel literature

Becca (Antrim)

I love reading - anything really but my favourite genre is crime novels. My favourite author is definitely Karin Slaughter 😍 would love some recommendations on other authors and to meet likeminded people ☺️

Belfastfem53 (Lisburn)

I love reading, have done since I was 14. I started reading my mums books Catherine Cookson lol. I love anything really.
