Drew (Telford)

I’m in my early 20’s. I have a degree in english literature and I’m hoping to use it in some capacity :)! I’m looking for a book club that read a range of genres, but preferably one that includes some classics, literary fiction (and maybe even some narrative non-fiction too).

The life-changing magic of tidying

by Marie Kondo | Learn more and buy

It was what first made me realise that you can enjoy tidying and what I like to read. Easy to read, clean and calming.

i love to discuss books, i think maybe there are different interpretations of the same book. I read on average 3 books a month

Meg (Newport (Shropshire))

I'm 31 and I've been in the UK for the last 5 years (originally from South Africa). I struggle to meet new people and so would love to connect with others locally/nearby who perhaps share similar interests. I mostly read fantasy/romatasy but I dabble in regular romance as well as crime/thriller. Basically anything that grips me story wise.

Thatcher ate my trousers

Sayle’s 2nd volume of autobiography is extremely funny and charts the rise of his career in the 70s and 80s alongside the emergence of alternative comedy. Fascinating and a good laugh.

Babel

by R F Kuang | Learn more and buy

Set mainly in Oxford in the 1800s, bit of magic and about the British empire and the power of translation. I was hooked and couldn't wait to get through it, obviously I was then devastated when I got to the final page that the adventure was over!

Finding the mother tree

by Suzanne simard | Learn more and buy

As a tree lover anyway, this book has had a profound impact on me ever since. It is scientific, fascinating, sad and hopeful. It's a beautiful story of the authors life and her bond with trees in Canada. Highly recommend

Unwell Women

by Elinor cleghorn | Learn more and buy

History of medicine and the LACK of female inclusion... It's maddening, gripping, frustrating, insightful and a must read.

Pachinko

by Min Jin Lee | Learn more and buy

Honestly I bought this in the airport before a flight with zero expectations, and I was gripped. It's a beautiful story of 3 generations from Koreo in Japan over the 20th century. I learnt a lot about the history of Korea and Japan but also fell in love with the characters. It's beautiful with some tragic twists. I cried so recommend tissues.

Klara & the Sun

by Kazuo Ishiguro | Learn more and buy

I finished this in one day. A story of friendship in the technological world. It's sad, gripping, beautiful and a must read. I loved this book so much I didn't want it to end. Just beautiful
