LiamLovesLit (Dumbarton)

Had a bit of a reading second wind the last few years and would love to share that with some like-minded, passionate folk! Looking to share recommendations, dig a bit deeper and engage with reading in a different way than I'm used to. Particularly interested in any groups with fellow people in their late 20s and early 30s, but not essential. Love a bit of everything, but thrillers with something to say (Birnam Wood being a recent fave) are my cup of tea! Best recent reads have been Project Hail Mary, Hero of Ages and The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

Isaac and the Egg

by Bobby Palmer | Buy this book

My go-to recommendation with a 100% success rate for getting a "never heard of it" response and a subsequent "I loved that". Equal parts surreal and heartwarming, this book was just as adept at getting a chuckle out of me as it was a few tears. Shades of It's A Wonderful Life, Manchester By The Sea and E.T!

I’m an avid reader looking to make new connections with people who also love to read! I’m an aspiring author, English lit grad and read across a broad range of genres. I particularly enjoy fantasy, historical and romance. Would love to chat about books! I’m 30 years old and based in Alexandria.

Kindred

by Octavia E Butler | Buy this book

A harrowing and gripping account of a Black woman in 1970s America who finds herself inexplicably time travelling back to the antebellum South. I was completely blown away by the originality of this story, and the way the author expertly explores how the scars of slavery still exist in contemporary America.

Cat (Dumbarton)

Was hoping to find a book club near me. I love reading. Romantasy, Thriller and Horror books. Would love to link up with people to discuss books, swap recommendations etc as no one close to me reads and I need people to talk about all the amazing books ive read! 😂
