All listings in Kent

Arthur (Maidstone)

Hi, This attempt transpired by a Historical Non-Fiction, however I'd be also interested in the Classics of Literature like the Crime & Punishment, Stranger or Metamorphosis etc.. How often I can attend a Book Reading session would depend on what is offered and I'd assume it would be at least one day in the week. I'm retired and I have no ties to strain me in any way. I hoped that in a reading group I can cultivate my reading(or as a listener) also discuss with others about what's been read as well. I feel there's so much to read yet I haven't read enough!

Arthur recommends:

Hunger

by Knut Hamsun | Learn more and buy

I think someone broke and starving could not be narrated any better than that. First publication has been done in 1956 and I sincerely believe that greatest authors lived at the last quarter of the 19th century to the beginning of the 20th.

Lucy (Maidstone)

29y based in Maidstone and looking for a monthly book club. Love most genres especially thrillers and romance. Would love to chat about books, possibly over a coffee/drink!

Gemma (Maidstone)

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.

Gemma recommends:

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

Absolute masterpiece! the way Liz writes loses me in a world of escapism. Amazing!

Christine (Canterbury)

I love books! Fiction, Biographies, Mysteries, and Histories but I'm open to different genres. I have lived in several countries and so am open to all authors. I've lived in the UK for five years now and it's time to get my nose out of a book and enjoy the lovely benefits of a book club.

The other side of Mrs Wood

by Lucy Barker | Learn more and buy

It takes you back to Victorian times. Is the story of a medium that tries to maintain her status in a very demanding and unforgiving upper class society. It is very well written and has a good pace. Grabs your attention till the end.

Milkman

by Anna Burns | Learn more and buy

A tense telling of what it’s like to live in a country where your freedom of thought and speech is curtailed. Not an easy read but one that can be discussed on many levels
