bookworm780 (Worthing)

I enjoy reading about anything and everything, I've dabbled in non-fiction such as economics, health and fitness, nutrition and pension planning. I have also become very fond with classics (Dostoyevsky, Dickens, Conan-Doyle), but also enjoy general fiction, horror and fantasy styled books. I want to join a book club to find new recommendations, share my passion for reading and to gain friends.

Crime and Punishment

by Fyodor Dostoyevsky | Buy this book

It is the best book I have read, it's perfect in the way it shows guilt and shame as well as the importance of relationships with family and friends. It is a long book but the length is worth the quality of detail for each event that transpires. I will re-read this book again and again

I’m a big lover of fantasy romance/ paranormal romance, dystopian YA and weird fiction (ala Jam by Yahtzee Crowshaw) and would love to find a book club to ready by TBR pile of Sara J Maas, Jennifer L Armentrout etc with

Testament of Youth

by Vera Brittain | Buy this book

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.

I have always loved reading but have recently renewed my passion. I am a busy mum (to a teenager and toddlers!) in my late 30s. I love to use any free time I get to escape into a good book. I really enjoy a good psychological thriller. But my particular love is a thought provoking and emotional read (one of my favourites is A Little Life, Hanya Yanagihara). Would love recommendations and discussions.

Catherine (Horsham)

I used to read a lot as a child but as I grew up ‘life’ often meant that I was too busy or too tired to pick up a book. I’m now in my 40’s and have just worked through the hardest few years of my life. My escapism when everything felt too much - Reading! The light has been restored! and I now feel confident enough to try and share this love of books with other likeminded people. I love book browsing just as much as I love reading and I can often be found browsing bookshops, charity shops, Amazon, Goodreads, instagram … anywhere where I might come across a hidden jewel that I just have to add to my TBR list! Enjoy most genres although I tend to avoid fantasy as it’s not really my cup of tea. Saying that, there are always exceptions. ☺️
