Louise H (Pontyclun)

I'm looking to get back into reading more regularly after a bit of a break. I’ve always enjoyed reading and tend to go for easier reads by default, but I’d like to branch out and try a wider range of books. I’m hoping to find a local book club to help with that and to meet others with a shared interest.

Bex1990 (Aberdare)

I have only recently started reading as a hobby but I am really enjoying reading dystopian novels, thrillers and sci-fi but I want to broaden my book horizons and find people to discuss books with, share ideas on books as well as recommendations 😊

Lewis (Bridgend)

I'm a writer and reader from South Wales. I read pretty much whatever takes my fancy in the moment, but my top genres are: fantasy, sci-fi, historical fiction, and horror. Very open to other recommendations. I guess I'm looking for fellow readers who don't take themselves too seriously, who care equally as much about having fun as discussing books.

Lewis recommends:

Replay

by Ken Grimwood | Buy this book

Partly what I love about this book is the story behind finding it. I spotted a niche, little sci-fi, fantasy book shop while on a pub crawl with friends. My brain immediately went into side-quest mode, and, to the annoyance of my non-reading friends, I spent the next hour in the shop floating on air. I returned early the next day while my friends slept off their hangovers and challenged the shop owner to find me a book based on my genre turn-ons. After a few false starts, he handed me Replay by Ken Grimwood. The timeloop gimmick nearly put me off, but I assumed that when this came out in 87, it was probably one of the fresher examples of the trope. I'm so glad I gave this a go. The characters were great. It had sci-fi and historical elements, and was strangely hopeful while being bitterly nostalgic. Definitely worth a go!

Linda182425 (Pontyclun)

Love to read, will read most types of books from chick lit to horror. Would like more people to discuss books with

Alan (Aberdare)

Just moved here. Well read and be nice to meet similarly minded people. I live a one minute walk from the library. Favourite authors: Orwell, Steinbeck and Hemingway but more recently - for an author still alive - Kazuo Ishiguro. Retired (copy) writer. Alan

Animal Farm

by Orwell | Buy this book

It should be mandatory reading for anyone who thinks Donald Trump is on the side of the good guys.

Huw (Maesteg)

Kids laughed when I said I'd write a funny book for children. Well they're not laughing now.

Huw recommends:

Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

by Mark Twain | Buy this book

Somehow it's thought of as a fluffy book for children, but I don't recall anyone getting tarred and feathered in any of Enid Blyton's oeuvre.

huw7777 (Maesteg)

As an English teacher I've read a lot of books, but have got into a bit of a rut reading mostly non-fiction, and would like to be put in a position where I have to read something that I wouldn't normally. I do a bit of writing as well and it could help. I also like poetry and running, but not usually at the same time.

Frankenstein (Modern Prometheus)

by Mary Shelley | Buy this book

This has so much depth and meaning. Since I learned about Mary Shelley and her troubled life I have found the book so moving - it describes her own trauma.
