One dark window

by Rachel Gillig | Buy this book

My favorite thing about this fantasy duology is that the plot is fresh, the conversations are relatable, the world's are magical as they are creepy and the romance was good. In all, I had a lot of fun reading it

The Girl with the Louding Voice

by Abi Dare | Buy this book

Abi Daré's The Girl With the Louding Voice is a compelling and inspiring debut novel that captures the indomitable spirit of a young Nigerian girl striving to overcome insurmountable odds. This richly textured narrative is both a stark reflection on the socio-economic challenges faced by women in Nigeria and a testament to the resilience and tenacity of the human spirit.

I am an avid reader and have been since I was a child. I read around 50-75 books a year depending on how busy my work life is and how much spare time I have. I mainly read literary fiction, classics, narrative nonfiction, memoir and fantasy. Looking for someone to buddy read a book a month and talk books or a book club would also be lovely!

I’m looking to join a book club with likeminded people were we can discuss our books storylines, characters and how we found the book. I enjoy all genres, but recently I’ve been reading more young adult adventure, romance and fantasy. But I also love some classics specifically Jane Austin. I just want to be in a book club with great discussion and just jaunt to make some friends.

The Quiet American

by Graham Greene | Buy this book

Set during French Colonialism in 1950s Vietnam. The story follows an English journalist and a CIA agent during the backdrop of political unrest. Greene is a master of wrought conflicted emotions. Murder, espionage and a critical eye on American foreign policy. A novel to remind us of the grave consequences of self serving interference in foreign politics.

SavAndHounds (Northampton)

Hey! 2024 I’ve been wanting to get back into reading again, and although I used to be bookworm when I was younger, I’m 29 and probably hadn’t picked up a book in 10 years. I’m currently on book 14 of this year and am reading Good Girl, Bad Blood. Fantasy fiction has always been my favourite genre but I’m dotting in a few murder mysteries which is also enjoying. After this series I’m looking to go into the infamous acotar. I just wanted to meet a few like minded people that also love reading or trying to get back into it as I am.

Ari707l3 (Kettering)

I’m 29 and despite hardly putting books down through my teenage years have only really started reading again properly in the last few years. Just looking for a friend who also shares the book passion and understands how hard it can be to put down a new book. Currently gearing myself self up with romantasy books to bite the bullet and start ACOTAR

Once and Future Witches

by Alix E. Harrow | Buy this book

It’s just always one I think about when asked my favourite book. I thoroughly believe it’s something that anyone who loves a fantasy should read.

Billie C (Rushden)

I have always enjoyed reading good books. I have more time on my hands now and have always wanted to be part of a book club. My husband doesn't read so this is not something I can share with him. I am open to reading any books well written and would really enjoy meeting new people and discussing the books I have read and receiving and giving recommendations, for all those fantastic stories out there.

Laura (Corby)

Hello! Since June last year I have become a serious book worm. Prior to that, the last book I read was when I was 17 ( I am now 33!). I'm looking to get to know other people that share the same passion for books as I do :-)
