Isabella Ann

Hello! My name is Isabella and I am hoping to meet other like-minded people in my local area! I am a big bookworm with a never ending TBR list who loves to go to local coffee shops, the library and to read outside in nature. I read mostly classic books and historical fiction, but I also enjoy some non-fiction and anything that takes my fancy! I don't enjoy reading any very scary or violent books like crime or horror. 📚

Pride and Prejudice

by By Jane Austen | Buy this book

(Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë is another firm favourite!) The great love story of Elizabeth Bennet and Mr Darcy, Jane Austen's witty lines, laughable characters and the lighthearted cheerfulness, this is a favourite classic of mine! 🥰

I read/listen to books of various genres, including non fictions and from classical to contemporary lit. Lately I finished The Flash Boys, Catch-22, The Invention of Hugo Cabret, re-read Call of the Wild and White Fang and have been working to get started with Consider Phlebas by Iain M Banks. For non-fictions, just finished The Psychology of Money and last year Sapiens, now re-visiting The Archaeology of Mind. It would be nice to be able to discuss thoughts on the books, so it's both social and stimulating.

"I am looking for a book club where I can meet people and discuss all kinds of books. I enjoy literature, politics, history, social, fiction, and science fiction—especially thought-provoking reads that broaden horizons. I am open to recommendations and love discovering new perspectives through books. My goal is to engage in meaningful discussions and connect with others who share a passion for reading."

Book Chat

I'm hoping to create a group of like-minded readers to regularly share what they're reading, take part in reading sprints etc online (and maybe in person if enough people are interested!)

Amelia

I mostly read contemporary literary fiction, horror and fantasy. I also love looking for fiction translated into English, feminist nonfiction and non fiction about nature and textiles/fashion history. I'd love to make some connections with bookish people who enjoy similar books!

Build Your House Around My Body

by Violet Kupersmith | Buy this book

This book is so masterfully woven together, and perfectly balances horror, humour, and folklore and gritty reality.

Jane

I love reading crime thrillers and I am looking to join a club in order to discuss books I have read.

Liz

I read mostly crime and thriller books though I am always on the look out for something that doesn’t fit the norm

Sam

I love thriller and romantic books. I read non fiction books at times. Looking for some suggestions and would love to meet up anytime.

Sam recommends:

Verity

by Colleen Hoover | Buy this book

You might not like Collen Hoover's books in the romantic genre but this thriller is a must-read.

Dotun

Hi, I’m Dotun, I’m really passionate about reading and exploring new ideas through books. Whether it’s fiction, non-fiction, or something in between, I enjoy diving into different worlds, perspectives, and stories. I’m looking to join a book group because I love the idea of sharing those reading experiences with others, discussing themes, characters, and the deeper meanings behind what we read. I also appreciate how book groups can introduce me to genres or authors I might not normally pick up. I’m excited about the idea of learning from others’ perspectives and bringing my own thoughts to the table. Plus, it’s always great to connect with fellow book lovers and have those lively discussions that make a good story even more impactful.

The Left Hand of Darkness

by Ursula K. Le Guin | Buy this book

The novel delves into deep philosophical questions about human nature, otherness, and understanding. It explores themes of loyalty, betrayal, duality, and what it means to belong. It also highlights the challenges of intercultural communication and the alienation that can arise from differences, both physical and ideological.

judy

I love reading books that introduce me to new ideas for how I can think differently or how the world could be different.

Disoriental

by Negar Djavadi | Buy this book

This book is so generous in the way Negar talks to us and tells us about so many complexities of community, culture, history and politics in Iran, the terror that is created by borders, and the life long impact of migration. At the same time, as someone with a different life experience, there is so much to relate to. I loved that people and Kimia's relationship to the world move around and definitely exist beyond the binary. A gem of a book.
