Chante

26 year old South African. Just moved to the area after working for a few months on the Isles of Scilly. I’m someone who loves diving into books and exploring new worlds through reading. Whether it’s fiction, non-fiction, or anything in between, I’m always looking for stories that make me think, feel, or learn something new. I’m joining a book group because I want to connect with others who share that passion for reading. I believe that discussing books with others can deepen your understanding and bring out new perspectives that you might not have thought of on your own. Plus, I enjoy hearing about what others are reading and getting recommendations for books I might not have discovered on my own.

Normal People

by Sally Rooney | Buy this book

It captures the complexity of human relationships in such an honest, intimate way. Sally Rooney has a unique writing style that feels both raw and restrained, which makes the emotional moments hit even harder. The relationship between Connell and Marianne is so layered. It’s not just about romance, but about communication, class, identity, and the struggle to understand oneself while trying to connect with someone else. What really stands out is how normal everything feels, in the best way. There are no dramatic plot twists or exaggerated characters. It’s the quiet, everyday moments that carry emotional weight. The dialogue feels real, the silences speak volumes, and the story highlights how love doesn’t always follow a clear or easy path. It’s also a book that stays with you. Even after finishing it, you find yourself thinking about the characters and the choices they made. That lasting emotional impact is part of what makes it so powerful.

A court of Thorne and roses

Amazing detail and character growth as there is 5 books in this set. Multiple sets from this author and was the book that got me into fantasy reading.

Benjamin

My name is Benjamin. I am an English Lit grad, 36. I'm interested in finding a group/individuals to start some kind of meet up/book club. I read widely and gravitate towards literary/science fiction. I recently read Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?; prior to that I read Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere, and am about to start The Body by Stephen King. Happy to travel to Sutton, Tamworth, Stafford, etc.

Benjamin recommends:

Revolutionary Road

by Richard Yates | Buy this book

Possibly one of the most underrated American realist novels. This tells the deceptively simple story of two people who have dreams/ideals that they never fulfil, and details how their lives wane after the excitement of their youth, the realities of suburban living in the 50s and how we're not all destined for lives of importance.

Dee

Hey! My name is Diana and I am 23! I am getting into reading so much more again and I would love to meet and connect with like-minded people! I have read many different genres and will obviously continue expanding my bookshelf library!

Dee recommends:

Call Me By Your Name

by André Aciman | Buy this book

A romantically written summer in Italy, showing true connection between two people.

Carl B

I like many genres but lean most towards speculative fiction. I’m looking to join a group to make new friends and rekindle my interest in literature and writing as well as exploring new works.

Teresa Tim

Teresa, 70, refusing to pass 33, says it all really. Joined the library at 7 snd never looked back. Sadly I'm now on large large print books. Like detective stories, romance, historical, biographies, series etc etc

Jack Reacher

by Lee Child | Buy this book

Quick read. Same character through series. Therefore great continuity

Jackie A

Hi there, I am 58 yrs old and have always lived in the area, and would love to meet a group of people who enjoy discussing and debating different books and ideas. I’m an avid reader of fiction (contemporary and past novels) and non fiction, I really enjoy exploring a range of themes, particularly about relationships and the life challenges we all face, as well as ones such as psychology/sociology which tie into my profession. It would be great to share topics with a group with different interests and be introduced to new genres. Thank you.

Alex Clinch

Looking to enjoy conversation with other people that enjoy reading a good book.
