Becky (Harpenden)

I'm in my early 30s and new to the area. I'm looking for a flexible book club, as I travel a lot for work and home, who are interested in carving up some time in our busy diaries to have a cup of tea and a good chat.

Rachael (Hemel Hempstead)

Looking to carve out some me time with some like minded people. Working full time and having a young family, I'd like to enjoy a cup of tea / coffee with fellow book lovers discussing their favourite books and what they're reading now. Would an hour or 2 a month work for most?

Rachael recommends:

Twenty eight and a half wishes by Denise Grover Swank

I love a series and this one is a great series. It's about a repressed young woman who decides to take on the world and enjoy life to the fullest. It gets her in a lot of trouble along the way, but it's an easy read for a bit of escapism.

Chris_author (Berkhamsted)

Hi team! I'm not looking to join a club as such - I'm an author based in Berkhamsted Hertfordshire and I've attended a number of book clubs and WI groups (including by Zoom during the pandemic) to talk about my novels and also in some cases the writing process. I think they have been very well received - the book clubs in particular as they have loved getting insights directly from the author. My first novel is historical fiction -the protagonist being a 19 year old girl working in a parachute factory in 1941 - she works in a secret section but carries secrets of her own. I think the book clubs enjoyed this in particular because it explores women working during the war and the whole environment of war-torn Britain. My second novel which is published this month (December 2023) also has a female protagonist - a professor who makes a shocking discovery, making humankind question its place in the universe and bringing her global fame -but she doesn't want it? She has a dark and tragic secret which she must keep hidden. I think the book clubs will enjoy a discussion not only about how the protagonist reacts but how humankind reacts to her discovery. Anyway -I am happy to travel across Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire and at no charge as I love talking about the stories and how they come to be written and answering probing questions from enthusiastic readers! Let me know. The two books are: a) The Girl who sewed parachutes. b) The Short Life of Amy Ridley. Kind regards Chris Baker

The Girl Who Sewed Parachutes by Chris Baker
The Girl Who Sewed Parachutes
by Chris Baker | Buy this book
At its heart it is a love story - set in war-torn Britain during the 1940's - it explores how women worked in factories during the war and how the protagonist deals with a dark secret - the +100 ratings on Amazon give it a 4.6 score - so I don't need to say more! -
