Raine (Abergavenny)

Hi! I'm Raine and I'm 19 years old. I'm looking to join a book club to get more recommendations of books. I don't know how I would describe my favourite genre but I am into classic Russian literature from authors such as Dostoyevsky and Tolstoy. I am also looking to go into publishing in the future to hopefully become an editor!

Raine recommends:

The Trial

by Franz Kafka | Buy this book

This is one of my favourite books! I love the hint to anti-existentialism and I really think it shows the flaws in societal convictions. It also demonstrates the imbalance of power between two beings and how it changes perspective of persecutors and victims

Amber (Newport)

hello! I'm not as much of a reader as I would like to be, but trying to get back into it. I am into psychological fiction and detective stories, but happy to read almost anything. Currently working through the Sherlock Holmes books and really enjoying them. Would love to meet and get to know some new people, and join a book club to get me back into books! 24 y/o, based in Newport

Amber recommends:

The Secret History

by Donna Tart | Buy this book

Love anything with a group of misfits, and weird interpersonal relationships. The characters are intentionally unlikeable but not to the point of annoyance. Its quite dark but not written in a way that feels to edgy or over-dramatic. Really great read!

Shell1387 (Abergavenny)

I've come back to reading following a hiatus in which I was focusing on studying and my career. I'm in my 30s and looking to meet new people in the area, as I am somewhat new to Newport. I'm currently reading the Game of Thrones saga. Favourite book is probably Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close.

Extremely unique narrative! Written in the first person by a child who struggles with ASD and grief.

Poppy (Newport)

Leigh (Ebbw Vale)

I like a mix of different genres, mainly fiction and I lean towards Sci-Fi and thought provoking books. My favourite book currently is Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir. Keen to join a local book club. Based near Newbridge.

Project Hail Mary

by Andy Weir | Buy this book

Brilliantly written! The right edge of science, emotion and humour. Highly recommend the audible version too.

My name is Emma, 32 from Newport and I am an avid reader. I am into historical romance and family sagas mainly though I do read the classics from time to time.
