Looking to get motivated to read again and meet people in the area, I do love a dystopian novel. But will pretty much read anything.

Giovanni's Room

by James Baldwin | Learn more and buy

I love the imagery of 1960s Paris and learning about how life was for LGBT folk at that time.

Hi! I’m look to find some book friends to share the joy of reading with! I tend to gravitate towards fantasy but I do read across genres. I don’t have friends that read and would love to discuss books/start a relaxed Bookclub with people who are interested.

Samantha (Ironbridge)

I am getting back into reading since I retired recently. I have always fancied joining a book club, but have never had the time before. I enjoy reading all sorts of books, but am not overly keen on Science Fiction. It would be lovely to meet others who also enjoy discussing books.

Melanie P (Telford)

Avid reader in her 30s who enjoys a wide variety of genres. Looking for a book club to meet likeminded people for discussions and friendship.

Tom (Ironbridge)

I very much enjoy reading, especially science fiction. :)

Geraint (Shrewsbury)

An avid reader of both fiction and factual/historical novels, I am looking for a local book club in which to share the joy of literature and discover recommendations for books to read from all others. My recent reads and recommendations include "The Black Angels" by Maria Smilios, "Say Nothing" by Patrick Radden Keefe, "The Secret Hours" by Mick Herron (Slow Horses author) and all of Victoria Hislop's books. Looking forward to hearing from you.

The Black Angels

by Maria Smilios | Learn more and buy

The untold story of the nurses who helped to cure Tuberculosis.

Say Nothing

by Patrick Radden Keefe | Learn more and buy

A true story of murder and memory in Northern Ireland. Superbly, sympathetically and accurately written, the account focuses on the Troubles in Northern Ireland.

The Island

by Victoria Hislop | Learn more and buy

Written in 2005, "The Island" is a beautiful and moving tale of four generations rent by war, illicit love, violence and leprosy, from the thirties, through WW2, to the present day. The story of Spinalonga - Greece's former leper colony is incredible, heart-warming and educational. The follow up novel "The Return" continues the story to a modern day conclusion. Both brilliant.

ConnorSpun (Ludlow)

Hi, I'm Connor, I'm 23 and I live in Cleobury Mortimer. My favourite genre of book is fantasy, but I am open to all genres. I'd like to meet every so often and I'd like to be able to make some new connections and expand my horizons.

All things nice, with a little bit of spice bookclub! (Telford)

We mainly love to read romance, but explore other genres here and there! No pressure, just a community to talk all about books and to make some new friends!

Becca (Shifnal)

I love reading and I’m new in town, so what better way to get to know people than by talking about something I love

Angie (Newport (Shropshire))

Hello, I am 31 and looking to join a book club to make friends and also help hold me to account to reach my goal of reading one book a month this year. I'm flexible in terms of genre and meeting up. I am from south Africa and moved to Newport last year after living in London for 8 years.

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

Lessons in Chemistry

by Bonnie Garmus | Learn more and buy

A feminist, a chemist and a love story. It's gorgeous and made me feel warm inside (not all the time though to be fair) but I adored this book

Reader5 (Whitchurch (Shropshire))

I’m a 50+ woman, an avid reader of anything recommended or discovered, except sci fi so far, but happy to keep an open mind in terms of genres. I work full time so an evening group would be ideal. Please do get in contact if your group sounds like a good fit. It would be lovely to meet new people in the area so look forward to joining a group.

Reader5 recommends:

Still Life

by Sarah Winman | Learn more and buy

Colourful characters, with an underlying love story, set between ww2 London and a Florentine landscape.

Caroline (Ludlow)

I like a wide variety of books, including romance, classic novels, theatre - plays and scripts, but I love anything new and different. I loved studying literature at school and university and am keen to discuss books as much as read them.
