Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine

by Gail Honeyman | Learn more and buy

Such a well written book, I loved it so much. Was sad, ocassionaly funny and blunt. Had a bit of a twist I had no way of predicting. Loved it

Amber

hello! I'm not as much of a reader as I would like to be, but trying to get back into it. I am into psychological fiction and detective stories, but happy to read almost anything. Currently working through the Sherlock Holmes books and really enjoying them. Would love to meet and get to know some new people, and join a book club to get me back into books! 24 y/o, based in Newport

Amber recommends:

The Secret History

by Donna Tart | Learn more and buy

Love anything with a group of misfits, and weird interpersonal relationships. The characters are intentionally unlikeable but not to the point of annoyance. Its quite dark but not written in a way that feels to edgy or over-dramatic. Really great read!

Hattie

Hi, I'm 48 and I love books with a female lead. I'm a fan of dystopia, horror, and apocalypse fiction but open to anything! Would like to meet about once a month in a friendly environment. I am close to Chepstow, Caldicot and Newport.

To Sir Philip with Love

I would recommend the whole series. It's romantic and intriguing. A little unconventional

I moved to the area in 2024. I've been a member of two different bookclubs in the U.S. and started one in the Blackwood area. We read, but the focus is friendship and community building - book talk is just extra!
