I enjoy reading a lot of different genres, and lately I've been getting back into fantasy, including epic and urban fantasy. Stand-outs for me are Nettle and Bone and the Nevernight Chronicle. I also read non-fiction from time-to-time; books about films/making-ofs, for example, "Best. Movie. Year. Ever" , local history, folklore, etc. I don't have lots of time right now, but it would be nice to meet for lunchtime coffee in Frome to discuss books and make new friends.

Gemma

I’m pretty varied when it comes to genres but right now I love a good romance, particularly any that include fantasy or dystopian setting. Looking for like minded reader/s who like a good natter too - over a coffee or on a walk would be fab.

Gerard

I enjoy non-fiction as well as fiction, from books about science to politics or history and from fantasy and sci-fi to historical and literary fiction.

I have always loved reading but work pressures restricted the time available to get into a good book! Since I recently retired I think joining a book club would give me the motivation to read more varied books and share opinions with a group of people with different persoectives I would also enjoy that social connection I enjoy a variety of genres but particularly enjoy literary & historical fiction and autobiographies

Janet (Frome) recommends:

Demon Copperhead

by Barbara Kingsolver | Buy this book

Very intense and thought provoking book. Barbara Kingsolver cleverly updates Charles Dickens classic David Copperfield and her modern social criticism echos the same issues raised by Dickens. Her hard hitting account of the opioid epidemic in the Appalachia and its impact on the main character Damon Fields, nicknamed Demon Copperhead, is often shocking and heart breaking Once I started reading it I couldn’t put it down.
