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.

Hello, I’m Imogen, I’m 25 and I’m interested in joining a book group! I work full time in a museum/archive and have been trying to get back into reading more regularly. I love fanstasy, thrillers, mystery and am willing to dabble in other genres too, I just need helpful recommendations of where to begin! :)

Bertrand 1949 (Perth)

Hello, I am living in Perthshire, West Dron near Bridge of Earn and retired. I love reading among quite a few other things (gardening, walks...). I would like to exchange with other people interested in reading. I like novels, history etc. Currently reading "The Corfu Trilogy" by Gerald Durrell and Elodie Harper's "Temple of Fortuna" the last book of another trilogy. I am a member of Perth Library, which I support as much as possible. If possible I prefer communication via email. I am not great with social medias, apps etc... Sorry.

Alicia (Pitlochry)

I love to read

Drew (Perth)

I'm currently 56 and had to retire from my job as a project manager (most recently at SSE before the closure), through health issues and problems with hearing. Although these are largely resolved (hearing aids, etc.), I've become rather trapped in the home. Need to get out and socialise more. I've previously read widely, everything from science fiction, horror, political thrillers and even a few classics but mostly reserve that for holidays nowadays when I still read a lot, but I've become a bit stuck re-reading the books I like best and need to dip my toe in other things, which is where I think this might help. Regards, Drew

Helen (Pitlochry)

Jemma95 (Crieff)

Hello! I've always wanted to join a book club but never worked up the courage until now! I'd like to meet other book lovers and expand my horizons to different genres I wouldn't otherwise choose. I usually stick to fiction so would be nice to branch out.
