I fell back in love with reading about a year ago and am a big romance fan, specifically something with good banter and a few shed tears. I’m 25 and would love to make some new bookish friends 📖✨

Last Night

by Mhairi McFarlane | Buy this book

i could never expect book so heavy with grief to leave me kicking my feet and smiling. Mhairi McFarlane has an incredible way with words

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 | 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.
