Plate & Spoon book group

We are a friendly bunch who meet every month and a half or so to discuss the book we have all read. Our ages range from 30s to 50s, and we have read all kinds of books from sci-fi to short stories, to fantasy and human journey novels. We take it in turns to suggest the next book and the group votes on their favourite. Looking for new members to increase numbers which would make things easier logistically. Also it's always great to meet new people! We generally meet in each other's houses, centred around Easton, Montpelier, Fishponds in Bristol.

I love reading - I love reading all genres - reading is my escape especially in the winter times when I don't want to leave my house. But even when I leave my house my kindle comes with me.

Fantasy fiction, psychological and crime thrillers, any great character development works. A avid audiobook on dog walks listener, I rarely get to sit down with a book but always looking out for new reads and people to talk about them

Jaimi

I love physiological thrillers, murder mysteries and some horror. I have grown fond of audio books, but still love paper backs. Recently listened to all Harry Potter books, and loved it (only watched the movies previously). Would be great to find people to meet up with regularly, discuss books over coffee or something stronger!

I mainly read thrillers and romantic fiction/chick lit, favourite authors include Freda Mcfadden, Lisa Jewell, Linwood Barclay, Jill Mansell, Catherine Alliot, Mike Gayle, Beth O'Leary to name a few, but I'll give most books a go, especially if recommended.

Hello, I like most books but have a preference towards classics, psychological thrillers, escapist and absurdist novels, but again if it's interesting or well written I'll read it. I'd love to meet new people and would appreciate any book recommendations!

The Cruel Prince

by Holly Black | Buy this book

I love the world-building! The plot focuses more on the political side which gives it an edge from the other fantasy books that I've read. Each chapter keeps you thinking and on your toes. Having a female main character that's ambitious and dangerous, and not the usual damsel-in-distress is refreshing. You'll be surprised by how she improvises her plan along the way, builds connections and allies, cashes in favors, manipulates certain situations and executes her plans while keeping her family safe in the world of faerie. The development of enemies to lovers is just perfect and didn't feel rushed. I enjoyed their banters and how trust is developed on both sides. I don't think Holly Black receives much praise for how well-written this is, most especially for not letting the romance outshine the political side of the story. It's witty, refreshing and definitely a must-read!
