Rachel (Horsham)

I am wondering whether there would be any interest were I to start a book club here on the Graylands Estate Horsham in September maybe? Currently looking for great suggestions to put on my kindle while I'm in France. Ex opera singer, dog owner, coffee and cocktail drinker. Please message me if interested in the book club info@racheltaite.co.uk

Testament of Youth

by Vera Brittain | Learn more and buy

Part of a trilogy following the nursing journey of the author during the first World War. A rare personal look at that era that reads like a beautiful novel rather than a boring old history book. Really gave me an insight into the lives of my grand parents and great grandparents.

CharliePW01 (Littlehampton)

I am 23 years old, live in Rustington -- although planning on moving to Southampton eventually -- looking to expand my horizons and look for new opportunities to bond over shared interests and get back into reading. I was previously reading SAGAs, and was especially keen on Rosie Goodwin's 'A Maiden's Voyage' and Emma Hornby's 'A Maid's Discrace' last year.

CharliePW01 recommends:

A Maiden's Voyage

by Rosie Goodwin | Learn more and buy

I really felt a strong connection with the main character and her story, as well as the historical context surrounding the book; I'm personally very drawn to historical SAGAs, particularly those set in this period (Victorian and Edwardian eras). I couldn't put this book down easily, and was always drawn to what would come next, would strongly recommend a read.

soph (Crawley)

I’ve never been to a book club before, looking to try something new and connect with other people in their 20s. I’ve liked romance and thriller books in the past and would prefer groups that are low pressure with perhaps slightly shorter books that I can read around work commitments :)

Melanie (Chichester)

Reading is basically 99% of my personality at this point ;-) I read almost anything I can escape into… crime, fantasy, romance. I alternate between audible (counting the days until the new Richard Osman downloads on 25 Sep!) and paperback or even Kindle Unlimited for an unknown gem. I’d love to find a book club, it’s been on my “list” for ages and hoping to meet some lovely people and talk about books. Even considering setting up a book club as from a quick peruse on here it seems there are lots of lovely avid readers and just not many actual book clubs. If anyone would like to start a book club with me please do reach out! I am based in Haslemere but happy to travel a little… I’d be hoping to do on a mon, thurs or Fri evening (when my husband will be home for our girls). Anyone fancy a fantasy book club? Romance? Combined ;-) or crime/thriller? Dark fantasy romance thriller ;-)

Clare (Crawley)

I'm a easy going, friendly and sociable person. I'm 42 and enjoy a good book, or film.
