The Pickwick Papers

by Charles Dickens | Buy this book

It is a great picaresque laugh-out-loud work which also manages to be socially relevant on typical Dickensian themes of poverty, crime and punishment, hypocrisy

Freya recommends:

On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous

by Ocean Vuong | Buy this book

It's such a beautiful and lyrical read that really moved me when I first read it, and I still love it no matter how many rereads

Emily

I am Emily and I’m 22 years old. I love reading and getting lost in books. I’m looking to meet new friends and discuss books with people!

Alex

I'm Alex, 25, and I want to both read and write more. I'm primarily into sci-fi but I'll try pretty much anything, I'm hoping to broaden my horizons and read some books I might not consider otherwise. I'm also hoping to meet some new people :)

Alex recommends:

The Paradox Paradox

by Daniel Hardcastle | Buy this book

A heartfelt and funny time travel story with wonderful characters, it can be dark at times but the overall message is one of hope. Twists come thick and fast, even the ones you see coming will surprise you with how they happen, and the whole thing is wrapped up in a neat little Bootstrap Paradox.

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

Laura

Looking to join a book club, recently moved to Ipswich :)

Motunlayo

Hi. I'm Motun, I live in Ipswich. I work unsociable hours so I find it hard to make friends outside of work. I like to read (mostly fantasy) but I'm open to any genres.

booksRus

Hey, my names Jack and I’m 28 years old. I live in Ipswich and I love reading. I often go down to a cafe weekly to read my book however, I’m now interested in joining a group so I can talk with others, sharing ideas and opinions. And potentially making a couple of friends along the way:)

Susie

I love reading and have been in several book clubs in the past. My favourite author is Maggie o Farrell but I am open to anything except horror. I am mid 40s and well travelled love to hear others perspectives and viewpoints

Susie recommends:

My lovers lover

by Maggie o Farrell | Buy this book

Beautifully written and great plot

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!

Zakaria

Well, I love reading. Any kind of book really, as long as it's well written. Ideally looking for more people around my age to start or join a book club with. (21 ± 5) Especially enjoy fantasy/mythological kind of stuff but I'll try out anything really. Adore anything with a strong or unique atmosphere.

Zakaria recommends:

the light fantastic

by Terry pratchett | Buy this book

Super fun little book with a really unique atmosphere and worldbuilding. Really a classic comedy/fantasy.

Samantha

Hi, I’m looking to join a book club to expand my social circles and discover books that I may not consider myself. I’m divorced and retired early, the children are at uni so I have time in my hands to try out new things.

Samantha recommends:

Lottery

by Patricia Wood | Buy this book

A great heartfelt story of someone who has a beautiful, kind nature who is often ridiculed and left out by family and people in general and how people change attitudes when money is involved.

Keira

Hi, I’m Keira, I’m 20 and on here to meet new people. I’ve always loved reading and will read pretty much anything. At the moment I’m really into sci fi and romcom books

Ellora

I'm Ellora (25F), recently moved to Ipswich for work (but based primarily in Chelmsford) and would love to join a book club near either place (or just meet up with people/start one!). I'm just getting back into reading and tend to go for either non-fiction or horror/thriller/romantasy fiction, but I'll read anything!

Allie
