Klara and the sun

by Kashoo ishiguro | Buy this book

Very thought provoking well written

Social Creature

by Tara Isabella Burton | Buy this book

The characters are deeply flawed but enthralling. The whole plot is tightly woven with great dialogue and although the author tells you the outcome in the opening sentence, every aspect of this novel is surprising and brilliantly executed.

Bella Bookworm (Southampton)

As a lifelong avid reader I am looking to join or start an in person book group to meet likeminded people with a passion for reading and even creative writing. My main literary passions are crime, psychological thrillers, character driven novels and social justice. I also do like to dip into the classics and a smattering of Gothic. I love Sabine Durrant, Liz Nugent, Kate Elizabeth Russell -but I could list forever. Please contact me if you have a group or are interested in joining me to start one!

Mandy (Andover)

I am mostly at home now, age 60. My children are grown-up and have their own homes. I love garden design & nature. I help out in local gardens for a hobby. I feel I need to think about other things and used to read a lot but got out of the habit. I'd like to be motivated to try different books, and to join or make a local book club. I live in Thruxton.

Chris (Andover)

Hi there, I'm a huge reader, generally fantasy and historical dramas but am happy to delve into other genre's on occasion. I am looking to try new books and share the experience with others.

Not the end of the world

by Kate Atkinson | Buy this book

This is a collection of seemingly unconnected short stories, but is soon becomes apparent that characters pop up throughout and the way they are connected does not become clear until the end.

Stephen (Eastleigh)

I'm a Jack of all genres. I read almost anything but struggle with most books classified as literary fiction. Maybe I'm missing the point so would like to talk to others about them.

Alice (Romsey)

Hello, I'm Alice (26) currently reading The Artist by Lucy Steeds and Storybook Ending by Moira Mcdonald. Looking to join/create a casual book group near me for people in their 20s/30s, anybody who enjoys Court of Thorns and Roses / Fourth Wing and a hot chocolate (bringing knitting is optional!)

Storybook Ending

by Moira Macdonald | Buy this book

Looks like your average romance on the outside, but it's a surprisingly witty story with really intriguing characters. Reads a little like a book of short stories at times, took me by surprise as a favourite!

Hi,I haven't been to this habit for a while, but love to go back and find that person used to read anything and everything.
