Allyce

Am 36 and love a good crime or horror book. I hate romance books. Would love to be in a bookclub and make some new friends.

Arthur

Hi, This attempt transpired by a Historical Non-Fiction, however I'd be also interested in the Classics of Literature like the Crime & Punishment, Stranger or Metamorphosis etc.. How often I can attend a Book Reading session would depend on what is offered and I'd assume it would be at least one day in the week. I'm retired and I have no ties to strain me in any way. I hoped that in a reading group I can cultivate my reading(or as a listener) also discuss with others about what's been read as well. I feel there's so much to read yet I haven't read enough!

Hunger

by Knut Hamsun | Buy this book

I think someone broke and starving could not be narrated any better than that. First publication has been done in 1956 and I sincerely believe that greatest authors lived at the last quarter of the 19th century to the beginning of the 20th.

Ragdoll

by Daniel Cole | Buy this book

It’s a great crime/thriller book. The plot twist and turns which helps for an engaging read. The writing is descriptive and allows you to engage with the characters.

6of us so far! We meet up over coffee or a glass of wine (once a month) swap book recommendations, decide next months book, and discuss this months book. Mostly chatting about our lives, families and what's been going on. Really nice group of people with different age ranges, life situations and hobbies. We all get on really well and laugh a lot. We read crime, thriller, fantasy, and romance, however all are welcome! We don't just sit in our categories, we branch out and give other stuff a go. Feel free to message us!
