Hi my name's Alice and I'm getting back into books after having just finished college. It'd be great to meet some new people who enjoy reading and yapping about books, like I do! I'm open to any genre, but I'm especially into mystery novels, the classics and queer lit. Currently reading too many books to count but, I'm loving 'Madame Bovary'.

Piranesi

by Susanna Clarke | Learn more and buy

I like this book because It really is one of a kind. Basically this guy called Piranesi lives in a house with infinitive corridors. His mission is to catalogue all the different rooms and the things that happen in them. It starts out quite mysterious and has takes really interesting and unexpected turns along the way. It is beautifully written, leans heavily into philosophy and really makes you think. Unfortunately saying much more about the story would spoil that for you - I would recommend to pick up that book knowing as little as possible.

Bryony

I'm 24 years old and trying to make new friends and get out more and talk about books. I would like to become an fiction author one day so this would help me get out of my comfort zone

Likesbooksfay

Hi! I’m a big fan of thoughtful conversations, getting lost in a good story, and discovering new perspectives through books. I enjoy both fiction and non-fiction—especially anything that makes me think or feel deeply. Im 23, female and moved from London to Ipswich and I’m hoping to join a welcoming group where we can share honest thoughts (and maybe a few laughs too). Always open to new genres and friendly chats!

Perdido Street Station

Brooke

Hello, I have a superb book for book club readers.....its on Amazon 9798254021070 It is my very true story, of becoming embroiled with a psychopath when I was a psychology student, which led to 8 years of my endeavours to fix him, thereby having the perfect man. We travelled over seas to exotic islands on his boat, purchased by a wealthy widow woman.....the story is very gripping, and carries messages for women on how you can ovetcome abuse, and other psychotic behaviours, and even survive strangulation at sea.....it makes a really good discussion, lots of gritty and questions about 'why did she stay' I don't think any reader would be disappointed.
