Reading Between the Wines

I’ve recently rediscovered my love of reading and seem to be making up for lost time! I’m currently drawn to thrillers and contemporary fiction, particularly anything that hooks me early and has strong characters, relationships and a good twist along the way. I’d like to join a book group to broaden what I’m reading, discover books I probably wouldn’t pick for myself and enjoy the discussion afterwards. I love hearing different takes on the same story and I’m always up for a good debate, especially when a character has made some spectacularly questionable decisions. I’m really looking forward to discovering some new favourites and having good conversations about the books along the way.

Criminal

by Angela Kirwin | Learn more and buy

This totally unputtable down read. journey inside prison like no other. Features a raw honest account from a social worker who for over a decade she was in some of Britain’s most notorious prisons. Now she wants to tell the stories of the men she met, because she believes that prison is failing everyone, damaging the most vulnerable people in our societies, creating habitual criminals, leaving us all less safe and contributing to a society that is immeasurably less humane. Every year, we spend billions of pounds on a system that fundamentally doesn’t work. Prison is where the most damaged and vulnerable people in our society end up and we all need to urgently care about that, so we can change it. Because the state of our prisons is criminal.

The Count of Monte Cristo

by Alexandre Dumas | Learn more and buy

This is the greatest story I've ever read. It was the book that changed everything for me. After sitting on my bookshelf for four years, I finally forced myself to read it, in 2018, and I'm glad I did. It was the first fiction book I ever read, and it absolutely blew my mind.
