Adina (Northampton)

Hi, I’m Adina. I enjoy books that pull you in and stay with you - whether that’s fiction, psychological reads, or something beautifully written. I’d love to join a group where conversations flow easily, ideas are shared, and it’s as much about connection as it is about the books. Also always open to recommendations!

Adina recommends:

The Kite Runner

by Khaled Hosseini | Buy this book

It’s beautifully written and deeply emotional, exploring friendship, guilt, and redemption. It’s one of those stories that really stays with you.

Annabel (Brackley)

I’m a big bookworm and actually work in a bookshop at the weekend. I am looking to make some new friends similar to my age (late 20’s) and talk about great books. I read pretty much anything but at the moment I’m ready more romance/fantasy and crime

Annabel recommends:

The Nothing Man

by Catherine Ryan Howard | Buy this book

It’s such a creative story, you read a book within a book and I haven’t read anything like it! I read it about it 4 years ago and I still think about it and recommend it to everyone!

Hello, I'm Maja and I'm 19! I enjoy reading classics, particularly gothic novels. Aside from this I also like modern authors such as Ishiguro, Han Kang, and Osamu Dazi. However, my favourite type of Literature is Russian Literature- especially Dostoyevsky.

The Vegetarian

by Han Kang | Buy this book

Such an intricate and fascinating read, interwined with all things philosophical and melodramatic.

Antonella (Wellingborough)

Sunday morning coffee & a good book (Northampton)

abhii000 (Northampton)

Hi, I'm Abhi - I read a bit of everything and excited to talk to people about books!

Joe (Northampton)

Hi, I'm Joe (23), I'm looking to join a club to read more, receive some recommendations and make new friends. I mainly read fiction but have been considering delving into historical non-fiction as I've been loving the Rest is History podcast as of late.

Laurie (Northampton)

Hi, I'm Laurie, 24 :) I'm looking to join a local (Northampton) book club to make friends and help with my reading goal for the year. I mostly read literary fiction and classics but I'm not really fussed about what I read - it's fun to branch out now and again.

Laurie recommends:

The Goldfinch

by Donna Tartt | Buy this book

It's veeery long - over 750 pages - which is obviously not for everyone, but it's written in a very accessible and immersive style. A teenage boy growing up in New York City in the early 2000s is the victim of a museum bombing, and while concussed steals a priceless painting (The Goldfinch), believing that he's protecting it. Since his only close relative - his mother - is killed in the attack, he then drifts from home to home, trying to keep his possession of the painting a secret. Great for people who enjoy more "literary" stories, as it's reminiscent of Dickens and other Victorian novels, but also a brilliant coming-of-age story. I first read it when I was nineteen and have been obsessed ever since.

Em (Northampton)

I’m 23 and was an avid reader as a child, now I am wanting to rediscover my love of books so am open to all recommendations!

Miriam (Northampton)

I have always loved reading and now enjoy audio books when out and about walking. I love all genres and rarely "give up on a book". I moved to the area a few years ago but what with working full time and mainly at home, would like to find an outlet/way to socialise and meet new people.

Miriam recommends:

All the colours of the dark

by Chris Whitaker | Buy this book

Beautifully written epic story about childhood trauma, deep friendship, love, loss and survival, wrapped in a small-town mystery thriller. One of those books you are sad to see end.

DanH85 (Northampton)

Have always enjoyed reading and read a wide variety of genre but tend to avoid romcoms. I'm not the speediest reader so hoping to meet someone/some people who fancy meeting monthly for a chat about life and about books! Kettering and Northampton are both easily commutable for me

DanH85 recommends:

The Name of the Wind

by Patrick Rothfuss | Buy this book

OMG everything! Fantastic writing and a superb storyline, think Game of Thrones meets Harry Potter! Spoiler, the final book isn't out yet so start reading this series forewarned!
