Fantasy, Mystery, Gothic, and the classics are what I tend to read the most, but I am open to other genres if the story sounds interesting and the writing style is engaging. Ideally, meetups can happen every week or two to discuss favourite books, authors and share recommendations.

BookwormBelle1191 recommends:

Warm Bodies by Isaac Marion
Warm Bodies
by Isaac Marion | Buy this book
Does something different with the zombie genre by narration coming from the zombie's perspective and written with plenty of intrigue and humour. The romance is also very well done and the story has a lot of heart.
Storm Front by Jim Butcher
Storm Front
by Jim Butcher | Buy this book
First book in the Dresden Files, introducing the main characters, how the magic system works and tells a good story with lots of humour and crazy yet awesome moments
Practical Magic by Alice Hoffman
Practical Magic
by Alice Hoffman | Buy this book
The book that inspired the Halloween classic that is Practical Magic. What I love about the book other than the witchy atmosphere is the relationship between Sally and Gillian who are very different from each other yet as sisters they remain close. The book goes more in depth with their perspectives and with Sally's daughters as they grow and mature

34F living in Ballyclare for a year and still have yet to find a suitable book club that is flexible for meeting up every week or two. Fantasy, Detective, Classic and Gothic tend to be the genres I read the most, but I am open to other genres if the story sounds interesting.

Lara

Hi, My name is Lara and I'm looking for a book club to chat about books and get good recommendations! I read most genre but do have a soft spot for fantasy with Sir Terry Pratchett, Charles De Lint and Ursula le Guin being amongst my favourites and historical fiction - Hilary Mantel, Ken Follett etc. I'm also looking to push myself out of my comfort zone a little. I've stopped going out, stopped trying new things and I think it would do me good to meet some new people and people who love books, seems like a safe place to start!

Lara recommends:

Night Watch by Terry Pratchett
Night Watch
by Terry Pratchett | Buy this book
Sir Terry was an expert in satire and the human condition. This book the 6th book in the Watch series and probably STP's best book. It's not a place I'd recommend starting, that would be Guards Guards, but my life would be less bright without this book in it.
