Book

Hi I would like to join a bookclub to encourage regular reading and have a general discussion about the books, author and the themes. Nothing too heavy. Just enjoyment of the written word and the story.

I started reading over the summer to pass time and I am enjoying it quite a bit! I would like to read more books this year, both fiction and non-fiction. I am not very good at picking books to read myself so I hope that a book group will hopefully share some ideas with me. I am open to any genres.

AshleyRosa

I'm a 26 year old trans woman who loves satire, scifi, graphic novels and history books, looking for an inclusive reading group to help me get out a bit more and reconnect with reading for fun (I've been in a career with a lot of reading for a while so haven't had the time or energy to read really awesome books - hoping to get some good recommendations!)

AshleyRosa recommends:

Money

by Martin Amis | Learn more and buy

I really enjoy the unreliable first person narrator - it makes the book flow differently to anything I've ever read before (the narrator has consistent memory problems and lies frequently.) The book paints an incredibly emotional and sympathetic portrait of an incredibly unsympathetic character - it captures the feeling of spiralling out of control in a really vivid way from a first person perspective.

Dom

Hi! I am a busy mum of a 5 year old! Looking to join a book group to keep me motivated to read more books like I used to do!

Lily

Hi I'm Lily, I'm 19 years old and love to cosy up with a cup of tea and a good book. I especially love dystopian books, romance and thriller or mystery books. I enjoy these kinds of things for tv series and films aswell.

Bound by Books

We have monthly meetings in person, women 25 and up, message if you’re interested. The books range from literary and contemporary fiction to thriller and romance.

Once upon a broken heart

by Stephanie Garber | Learn more and buy

The plot is so good it’s starts off to something predictable and turns into something you did not expect. The trilogy is such a good read
