The Seven Moons of Maali Almaeda

by Shehan Karunatilaka | Learn more and buy

An extraordinary idea that provides the context for a gripping novel set in Sri Lanka.

Lydia (Poole)

I'm a 29 year old doctor working in Poole - I'm very keen to be involved in a book club because I love reading (stating the obvious!) and my Mum has been in one for donkeys years, bringing her huge amounts of fun! I read a lot of thrillers, a bit of romance, a fair amount of non-fiction, but I am open to everything really - sometimes it's the books you stumble across by accident that are the best!

Judy (Weymouth)

I'm a fiction lover, looking for a group to share and explore novels with. I love a wide range of genre, from classics to historical fiction to contemporary social. If I'm travelling, i like to find novels from/about my destination. Favourite novels ever: The Lord of the Rings, HereBe Dragons, Pillars of the Earth, A Thousand Splendid Suns,

Hi, I'm Jess! I'm 27. Looking to join a book club (and meet some lovely people along the way!), as I love to read and want to be able to enjoy reading more in-between my shift work.

Feel free to reach out and send me a message!

The Sword Of Kaigen

by M L Wang | Learn more and buy

I love the action, battle scenes, magic system, world building. It’s a character driven book but has plenty of very well written battle scenes. It’s a standalone, it left me wanting more but I know that it’s the oerfect length.

David (Poole)

Hello, my name is David and I'm 23 years old. I am trying to get back into reading, and I'm hoping that joining a book club will give me the motivation to finish more books. I'm open to reading any genre, so I'd love to hear any recommendations. The most recent novel I read was 'The Road' by Cormac McCarthy, which I loved. I also like short stories. One that I read and enjoyed recently was 'Sweat' by Zora Neale Hurston.

Cinni Reads (Blandford Forum)

I’m looking to join a local or virtual group who share my love of reading. I am open to all sorts of books but tend to read a mix of non-fiction, historical novels and literary fiction. Would love to connect with others who share my interest and find some new books to enjoy!

Gwen (Wimborne)

I am new to the area and I thought joining a book club would be a good way of meeting people. I have never belonged to a book club .I would like to join a club that has a social aspect as well as sharing information on authors and books.

Gwen recommends:

A waiter in Paris

by Edward Chisholm | Learn more and buy

This book transfers the reader to the “underbelly” of life as a waiter in Paris.Some of the language is crude but it accentuates the harshness of the environment.The brutal truth of working in this environment is quite thought provoking.
