Full Tilt

by Emma Scott | Buy this book

From the very beginning, the story takes an eloquently beautiful look on life, and in particular, death. It is gut-wrenchingly sad, and made me cry heavily. 10/10 my favourite book.

by Sabaa Tahir | Buy this book

If you are looking for a book that has romance, fantasy and little smut this is the book for you. I was hooked from page one, Sabaa Tahir has such beautiful writing that encapsulates you into another world. it has drama, suspense, comedy, and most of all Elais.

If We Were Villains

by M.L. Rio | Buy this book

To me everything is great about this book. I love how the story unfolds, rarely being told in the present and mostly done through flashback. None of the characters I feel were overly likeable but the writing enabled me to still feel empathy for them. I liked the mix of coming of age, mystery and dark academia in one of my favourite book settings: a boarding school!

Brums Book Babes

A fun and safe space for people aged 18-25 to meet like-minded individuals and have friendly chat about books in Birmingham.

Meg

Oranges in no mans land

I love how the main charecter in the book risked her life to make sure she gets her grandmas medince. She crosses into a war zone to reteive it. Its a real life based book and its pretty fast paced.

The Spirit Bares Its Teeth

by Andrew Joseph White | Buy this book

A.J. White manages to capture aspects of the trans and autistic experiences so beautifully. Even thought the characters go through horrific things, the book still manages to be hopeful.

I'd like to find a local book club to have a good old chat and delve deep into the latest read. I love all sorts of genres, mystery, thriller, horror, contemporary, fantasy, some romance.

Lessons in chemistry

by Bonnie Garmus | Buy this book

Was late to the party with this one and therefore a bit nervous it wouldn't live up to the hype but I loved it. Turns out I love a book where the central character thinks a bit differently to the norm - give me Eleanor Oliphant, Ove, Molly the maid and of course Elizabeth Zott!

Lilly

I've recently got back into reading and would like to join a book club to meet other readers and share book recommendations. I enjoy mystery, crime, biographies, and some romance fiction.

Danni

One Day
