Anything by…

by John Boyne | Buy this book

Brilliant storyteller

Gwen

I’ve loved reading since childhood & now have more time to indulge. I’ve read different fiction genres from thrillers, mystery, occasional easy going chick lit, but have been enjoying historical fiction for a while. I am fairly new to the area & looking to find a local book group to chat about books we read & broaden my horizons, socially & in literature.

The Women

by Kristin Hannah | Buy this book

This is about the young women who served as nurses in Vietnam. Thrilling, engaging, moving & eye opening to a world most of us will never experience. Highly recommended

Wide range of reading interest. Like a good discussion especially with those who hate a book I love and vice-versa.

I read a wide range of genres, thriller/ suspense type books are my go to by for example Andrea Mara, Claire Mcintosh and Lisa Jewel. My favourite books are A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini and The Island by Victoria Hislop.

Before you knew my name

by Jacqueline Bublitz | Buy this book

This book moved me to tears and the main character stayed with me long after I'd finished the book. It's about a young girl who meets an untimely death in New York but the book delves into her life leaving you with a sense of a whole person not just a name in a sad newspaper story. Everyone I have recommended this to has loved it.

Kelly

Busy life, raising children and a career that has taken my free time, I’m now looking to gain some of that back and find my love of books again.

Sharon

I’m a 50 year old women who enjoys a good thriller and have recently made it my mission to read more. It’s an achievement for me to read a book within a week due to confidence from having dyslexia. I would love to join a local book club or volunteer in a reading group to meet more local people too.

Agatha Christie

by Lucy Worsley | Buy this book

Just completed this book o got given at Christmas. I don’t read many autobiography books but this was brilliant as it not only talked about the author but went through social history

The Little Coffee Shop of Kabul

by Deborah Rodriguez | Buy this book

Amazing easy read. Entertaining in terms of the characters and how women are stronger in adversity and supportive. But also provides social history into Afghanistan and Kabul.

The Flavours of Love

by Dorothy Koomson | Buy this book

Great thriller with twists and turns. Couldn’t out this book down once started

Trish

Looking to join a local book club.

Courtney
