I love reading all sorts of books, especially fiction (including the occasional graphic novel - I think they count as well?), would love a regular meet up to see what people got from the book and sharing their perspectives. Look forward to discovering things I never knew about the book until I understand different points of view, and connecting with all sorts of people.

I’m a Berkhamsted local with a young family. I enjoy a range of fiction-from thriller and crime through to Booker nominees. I’m interested in meeting people to discuss books over a drink/coffee.

Hi team! I'm not looking to join a club as such - I'm an author based in Berkhamsted Hertfordshire and I've attended a number of book clubs and WI groups (including by Zoom during the pandemic) to talk about my novels and also in some cases the writing process. I think they have been very well received - the book clubs in particular as they have loved getting insights directly from the author. My first novel is historical fiction -the protagonist being a 19 year old girl working in a parachute factory in 1941 - she works in a secret section but carries secrets of her own. I think the book clubs enjoyed this in particular because it explores women working during the war and the whole environment of war-torn Britain. My second novel which is published this month (December 2023) also has a female protagonist - a professor who makes a shocking discovery, making humankind question its place in the universe and bringing her global fame -but she doesn't want it? She has a dark and tragic secret which she must keep hidden. I think the book clubs will enjoy a discussion not only about how the protagonist reacts but how humankind reacts to her discovery. Anyway -I am happy to travel across Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire and at no charge as I love talking about the stories and how they come to be written and answering probing questions from enthusiastic readers! Let me know. The two books are: a) The Girl who sewed parachutes. b) The Short Life of Amy Ridley. Kind regards Chris Baker

The Girl Who Sewed Parachutes by Chris Baker
The Girl Who Sewed Parachutes
by Chris Baker | Buy this book
At its heart it is a love story - set in war-torn Britain during the 1940's - it explores how women worked in factories during the war and how the protagonist deals with a dark secret - the +100 ratings on Amazon give it a 4.6 score - so I don't need to say more! -

I enjoy a variety of genres and the stimulus of discussing what I've read with others.
