AimeeB-52 (Ashford (Kent))

I LOVE reading but sometimes I need a push. Having studied literature avidly at school and then at universities I love discussing books and finding hidden themes or new perspectives of classics and well-loved reads that help me fall in love with it all over again. My favourite authors are Wilbur Smith and Garth Nix with Dracula being my go-to favourite book of all time. I would love to find a local book club in Ashford, or if anyone is interested, I used to run one at university so happy to start one up!

The Burning Shore

by Wilbur Smith | Buy this book

This is a great entry point for the Courtney Series by Wilbur Smith and was the first book I read that made me fall in love with Wilbur Smith's detailed and imaginative writing. Set mainly in Africa you follow the journey of Centaine - a young woman left to survive in the wilderness of Africa after a freak shipping accident during the first world war.

Normal People

by Sally Rooney | Buy this book

It connected with me as I long for love in my own life. It explores the highs and lows of young love, and shows how opposites can sometimes not be so opposite. It is so well written and is really difficult to put down once started.
