Alia

30 year old philosophy and english grad. Just moved to West Yorkshire. Currently in love with the magical realism of Marquez's work and the clarity of Edward Said. Looking for people to challenge my interpretations and to make sure I finish the books I start! Note: I have set up a group on Meetup called Global South meets West Yorkshire.

In the Time of the Butterflies by Julia Alvarez
In the Time of the Butterflies
by Julia Alvarez | Buy this book
This is book is so colorful and immersive, so full of smells and textures, yet at the same time so dark. It is a very personal insight into the lives of those who opposed tyranny in Trujillo's Dominican Republic. Both tragic and inspiring.

Oliver

Hello, I'm Oliver, 32 and live in Halifax. I am quite recently an avid book reader! I find non fictional books very interesting, in particular books like, Sapiens, Prisoners of Geography, the Silk Roads. I am very open minded in exploring other genres and would love to meet/connect with other avid readers :)

The Prisoners of Geography by Tim Marshall
The Prisoners of Geography
by Tim Marshall | Buy this book
This book is great as it opened my eyes and mind to a world I've never really considered. How geography has played such a huge role in the power houses becoming power houses, and how certain countries are blessed and cursed by their geography. It's extremely educational and it's helped me see the world for what it is.

Parzival

Hi! I have been a member of book clubs through work for a few years but due to moving jobs and more recently the members gradually dropping out due to other commitments, I am looking to join or start a book club for science fiction and fantasy fans in my area as I think this genre is often overlooked or not as popular as other genres of books. A monthly book club would be ideal but open to other time frames as well.

Parzival recommends:

All Systems Red by Martha Wells
All Systems Red
by Martha Wells | Buy this book
This is the first book of a series and the main character “Murderbot” is one of the best characters in any book series. Loads of heart, funny, and great action.
Dune by Frank Herbert
Dune
by Frank Herbert | Buy this book
The first book to win both the Nebula and Hugo award. Opened up the genre to include more cerebral matters and influenced all science fiction since its release in the 60s. Fantastic story, brilliant world building, complex relationships and copious amounts of life extending drugs.
The Atlas Six by Olivie Blake
The Atlas Six
by Olivie Blake | Buy this book
First of a recently completed trilogy about a world where magic societies, schools, institutions operate on both sides of the law. Six people are chosen to study and promised power, wealth among other things but they have to work together for a common goal…the kicker, one must die!
Empire of the Damned
by Jay Kristoff | Buy this book
Mon dieu, I love reading these stories! The tension barely lifts thoughtout the nearly 700 pages! Kristoff can write thrillers, fantasy, action, erotica and horror better than anyone I have read! Longue vie ‘la demoiselle du graal!’

New to Northowram from Buckinghamshire, I’d like to find new friends. I like detective novels, but am open to suggestions. My current ‘find’ is Mick Herron. In my previous book club, we all read whatever we liked, and then met up every 6 weeks to discuss, and perhaps recommend.
