Dungeon Crawler Carl

by Matt Dinniman | Learn more and buy

It's a great mix of silly fun and thought provoking storylines. I was wary of this book because of the intense hype around it. However I was a great story with fantastic characters.

Magician

by Raymond E Feist | Learn more and buy

Spectacular world building, great magic system, lovable characters. Don't let the chonk of the book put you off

Spark of the Everflame

by Penn Cole | Learn more and buy

Everything! One of my all time favourite series. It's slow going to start with but man does it become epic.

The Rats

by James Herbert | Learn more and buy

The author writes a thriller/horror that makes it feel like the scenario could actually happen. Amazing writing.

Jacky (Tunbridge Wells)

I think book lovers are usually good conversationalists, and as I'm a bit of an introverted gran, am looking to join a book club. My books for a desert island would be Howl's Moving Castle, Pride and Prejudice and How to Survive on a Desert Island.

Hi, I'm Gemma, 32 and I love fantasy and romantasy as well as murder mysteries. Throne of Glass is my current god tier series and I love Acotar, Crescent City, Fourth Wing, Shield of Sparrows to name a few! I'd love to find friends who share my interest in books to talk about them and share new recommendations.

Throne of Glass

by Sarah J Maas | Learn more and buy

As the series goes on it's amazing how many minor details in earlier books become so important and by Kingdom of Ash it's an absolute rollercoaster of emotions

Shield of Sparrows

I really enjoyed the world building and book 2 builds on this and goes to another level

Eleanor (Ashford (Kent))

Hello! I’m a 32yo mother of one, based between Ashford and Maidstone. I’d love to join or start a book club focused (very loosely) on literary fiction. I like Iris Murdoch, A.S. Byatt, John Banville, Barbara Kingsolver, Kate Atkinson, that sort of thing. But lots more too. Please drop me a line if you’re even a little interested!

George C (Maidstone)

Hi, I'm George. I am 27 years old and enjoy all genres of literature, particularly historical fiction and mystery novels. I would like to join a book club so I can be held to account to do some actual reading rather than just listening to audio books. I am based to the South of Maidstone but would be willing to travel further for the right club.

Rose (Maidstone)

I love reading lots of genres but thrillers, romance and mystery are definitely my favourites
