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 | Buy this book

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

Say Nothing

by Patrick Radden Keefe | Buy this book

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 | Buy this book

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.

Angie recommends:

Babel

by R F Kuang | Buy this book

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 | Buy this book

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 | Buy this book

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

Pachinko

by Min Jin Lee | Buy this book

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 | Buy this book

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 | Buy this book

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

katedews (Bridgnorth)

I am moving to Shropshire in January and want to meet people who like to read

Tabi (Telford)

I have always loved reading, especially thrillers and anything by Marian Keyes. Would like to join a book club to meet new people to chat with over coffee.

Maryus (Shrewsbury)

Am a reader and a writer,but with no one who I can chat about this.

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.

Siobhan (Oswestry)

Aged 22, I enjoy reading dark romance and sometimes mysterious books. Currently have no friends and I want to start hanging out with people more and being sociable again. I’m quiet to begin with but once I’m comfortable I’m more outgoing.
