Anna (Perth)

Hi, I'm looking for a book club that reads mainly fiction but is open to dipping into other genres from time to time. I tend to enjoy literary fiction — recently I've really enjoyed Nell Zink — and I also love essays and short stories, particularly writers like Jo Ann Beard and Lucia Berlin. I'm drawn to books with strong voices, sharp observation and a bit of originality. The classics are also important. Hoping to find a group that meets in person in Perth City.

Alex (Perth)

I'm a happily retired senior support worker in mental healthcare. I'd enjoy chatting about my personal favourite genres and enjoy hearing about and learning from other people's favourites. I read either historical novels or actual histories, I loved Hilary Mantel's Wolf Hall series, or my other , very different, choice is American Crime fiction. Everything from Chandler to contemporary writers.

The Last Coyote

by Michael Connelly | Buy this book

A veteran detective investigates the murder of his own mother , killed when he was aged 12. Connelly is consistently a brilliant writer. This novel involves references to the detectives' (involuntary) participation in some counselling sessions. As a trained counsellor I can say it comes closer to the processes of counselling than most fictional efforts.

Hi everyone, I'm 26 and have finally rekindled my love for reading after graduating - I will read anything; classics, fantasy, sci-fi, crime. I'm looking for a bookclub which dabbles with a variety of genres :)

DylanM (Dunkeld)

I love to read to escape from my busy work life of always looking at a screen. I've been struggling to balance my hobbies and social life for a while now so I thought, hey, why not put them together and join a book club. I love new experiences and adore meeting new people.

Apprentice to the villain

by Hannah Nicole Maehrer | Buy this book

It's a comical easy read that immerses you into a world full of charm. I read it in one sitting and was obsessed with how full of character everyone was.

Contact

by Carl Sagen | Buy this book

It makes you think about the big questions (Science, religion, philosophy etc)

Mandy (Blairgowrie)

I have always loved reading - crime fiction, general fiction, classics - and still get through a lot of books. I recently retired and miss the social interaction of work. Would be great to join a book club with a diverse membership.

Mandy recommends:

A Little Life

by Hanya Yanagihara | Buy this book

It's a relentlessly sad book yet kept me engrossed through its 800+ pages because she writes so well. I was drawn to all the main characters and felt their pain. Although it should be a depressing read, it is at the same time insightful, and full of love, hope and the value of friendship.

Demon Copperhead

by Barbara Kingsolver | Buy this book

A story about a boy growing up in the Appalachians in America in challenging circumstances. It is a retelling of David Copperfield. The author deals with the issues facing Demon brilliantly and I couldn't put the book down. Will undoubtedly become a modern classic.
