Cleopatra and Frankenstein

by Coco Mellors | Buy this book

Cleopatra and Frankenstein by Coco Mellors offers a compelling look at complex relationships and personal growth. Mellors’ direct writing style brings depth to everyday emotional struggles, capturing the subtleties of love and identity without glossing over the challenges. The result is a thoughtfully crafted narrative that resonates with readers through its honest portrayal of human connection.

This Is How You Lose the Time War

by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone | Buy this book

It is different to my usual reads but i love it especially considering for how short it is it packs a punch that i absolutely loved. The love story woven across time, place and worlds is created with so much care and charm that i love chasing and being chased with Blue and Red.

A memory of light (wheel of time)

by Robert Jordan, Brandon sanderson | Buy this book

Generally just the entire wheel of time series is an absolute classic, the final book was amazing.

Nina1980 (Gosport)

I work full time from home. I used to be an avid reader but I barely pick up a book from year to year now. I need an excuse to get reading again and a deadline to read to. I would like to read again, meet new people and get out of the house more. I'm happy to read anything.

Val (25) (Romsey)

Hi, I’m Val! I’m a huge fan of all things fantasy and romance and I’d love to meet other people that I can discuss books with. I’d love to have a regular meet-up.

Lauren (Winchester)

I'm an avid reader who loves getting lost in the worlds of fantasy, romance, romantasy, and thrillers—but I'm always open to giving most books a try! I'm looking to connect with like-minded people who enjoy a relaxed book club setting, where we can share our thoughts over a cuppa or a glass of wine without the pressure of intense discussions. For me, reading is all about enjoyment, great stories, and good company!
