Joe

Hi, I'm Joe (23), I'm looking to join a club to read more, receive some recommendations and make new friends. I mainly read fiction but have been considering delving into historical non-fiction as I've been loving the Rest is History podcast as of late.

Laurie

Hi, I'm Laurie, 24 :) I'm looking to join a local (Northampton) book club to make friends and help with my reading goal for the year. I mostly read literary fiction and classics but I'm not really fussed about what I read - it's fun to branch out now and again.

The Goldfinch

by Donna Tartt | Buy this book

It's veeery long - over 750 pages - which is obviously not for everyone, but it's written in a very accessible and immersive style. A teenage boy growing up in New York City in the early 2000s is the victim of a museum bombing, and while concussed steals a priceless painting (The Goldfinch), believing that he's protecting it. Since his only close relative - his mother - is killed in the attack, he then drifts from home to home, trying to keep his possession of the painting a secret. Great for people who enjoy more "literary" stories, as it's reminiscent of Dickens and other Victorian novels, but also a brilliant coming-of-age story. I first read it when I was nineteen and have been obsessed ever since.

Miriam

I have always loved reading and now enjoy audio books when out and about walking. I love all genres and rarely "give up on a book". I moved to the area a few years ago but what with working full time and mainly at home, would like to find an outlet/way to socialise and meet new people.

Miriam recommends:

All the colours of the dark

by Chris Whitaker | Buy this book

Beautifully written epic story about childhood trauma, deep friendship, love, loss and survival, wrapped in a small-town mystery thriller. One of those books you are sad to see end.

DanH85

Have always enjoyed reading and read a wide variety of genre but tend to avoid romcoms. I'm not the speediest reader so hoping to meet someone/some people who fancy meeting monthly for a chat about life and about books! Kettering and Northampton are both easily commutable for me

The Name of the Wind

OMG everything! Fantastic writing and a superb storyline, think Game of Thrones meets Harry Potter! Spoiler, the final book isn't out yet so start reading this series forewarned!

For those who have read 1984 this is a must! Told from the perspective of Julia and offers a deeper look into the world they live in

An emotional story set around WW2 with characters that stay with you for days afterwards

Zoe

I’m 24 and getting more into reading lately having just delved into more fantasy/romantacy. I’m in a bit of a slump having just read fourth wing and looking for some more recs. I’m also very open to other genres. Looking to make some book friends and meet new people!

Bruce

I'm a mere 56 years of age and am looking forward to meeting new people who share a passion for reading. My reading is usually focussed on history/phiplosophy/religion, on the non-fiction side; and gothic horror and suspense on the fiction side (along with classic literature).

Bruce recommends:

Jude the Obscure

by Thomas Hardy | Buy this book

It's my favourite of Hardy's novels

Maud

I’m interested in starting a local book club because there doesn’t seem to be any in Northampton! I’m interested in reading all kinds of genres and am recently getting back into reading and would love to meet some people to discuss different books with

Books4Life

Would like to get back into reading and have discussions. Normally read crime thrillers and drama.

Hero's Journey

I'm new in Northampton and would like to talk to a few people and I believe books are a great and structured way of people sharing their thoughts!

Clare

Hi - I would like to join a book club to meet some people who like to read, chat etc. I like crime fiction and anything grisly! I also like historical fiction.

Luxy

I love reading any type of book. I would love to have a little group of friends who want to chat over tea and books.

Nu

Just got into reading and will like a cute small friendship group where we could read together. I want to do some self improvement so I completed the book Tuesday with morrie and the boy the mole the fox and the horse. I used to read loads as a kid but fell off and I want to get back into it. The gener I like is thriller, psychological twist, twist, crime, Greek mythology, something that will make me cry, emotional books like Tuesday with morrie and as of right now books that can build a better version of me self. I don’t mind fantasy not my cup of tea cl just depends. But hopefully I get to a point where I am open to more genres.

Kojusoluwa

I’d love to meet once a month to discuss books, ideas, social norms and views, broaden my horizon
