Northampton Book Club

I'd like to start a book club for people who love reading and could commit to meeting up monthly or every other month. We could meet in a cafe central to us and all choose books together. I'd also be keen to prioritise books we can get from the library or we already own to keep costs down. It would be whatever we made it, contact me if you're interested!

Kizzy

I'm 30, a big reader, and looking to join a book club. I'll read most genres as long as we can chat about them over coffee or tea! Contact me if you want to make a group or know of any to join.

Masters of Death

by Olivie Blake | Buy this book

Olivie writes with such intent. It’s a trust the process kind of book and it has left a fond impression with me once I exited the world between the pages

Powerless

by Lauren Roberts | Buy this book

The world building, the characters, the storyline. Absolutely love this and will continue to recommend this

Audible Fan

for the last 2 years I have been "reading" via Audible so that i can listen whilst walking my dog. It has taken some getting used to not having a book in my hand! I love thrillers, psychological books, some romantic comedy if it has good reviews; recently read the last Robert Galbraith - The Running Grave - excellent, often end up reading books that end up as tv series.

page turner

RachelE24

Hi! I’m 28, often forget how much I love books and then will dive back in and devour multiple in a week! Would love to hear about people’s fave reads over a good coffee

Esme

Hi, I'm a 25 years old MA English Grad and Library / Archive assistant looking to meet other readers! I read a lot, mostly galleys, and rather than a structured book club, I'm looking to set up a bookish space, where local readers can discuss what they're reading, without the pressure. Maybe more of a book seminar than a strict book club! I'd love to talk to other people in the local area about what they're reading, their book opinions, or even just life!

The Girl with the Louding Voice

by Abi Dare | Buy this book

Abi Daré's The Girl With the Louding Voice is a compelling and inspiring debut novel that captures the indomitable spirit of a young Nigerian girl striving to overcome insurmountable odds. This richly textured narrative is both a stark reflection on the socio-economic challenges faced by women in Nigeria and a testament to the resilience and tenacity of the human spirit.

Dinah

Hi, I’m a 21 year old girl who has recently finished university and have some extra time on my hands. I’m looking to join a book club with likeminded people were we can discuss our books storylines, characters and how we found the book. I enjoy all genres, but recently I’ve been reading more young adult adventure, romance and fantasy. But I also love some classics specifically Jane Austin. I just want to be in a book club with great discussion and just jaunt to make some friends.

Lord of the Mysteries

by Cuttlefish That Loves Diving | Buy this book

Some of the best world building that I’ve read so far. Really makes you feel like you have entered a brand new society.

The Quiet American

by Graham Greene | Buy this book

Set during French Colonialism in 1950s Vietnam. The story follows an English journalist and a CIA agent during the backdrop of political unrest. Greene is a master of wrought conflicted emotions. Murder, espionage and a critical eye on American foreign policy. A novel to remind us of the grave consequences of self serving interference in foreign politics.

SavAndHounds

Hey! 2024 I’ve been wanting to get back into reading again, and although I used to be bookworm when I was younger, I’m 29 and probably hadn’t picked up a book in 10 years. I’m currently on book 14 of this year and am reading Good Girl, Bad Blood. Fantasy fiction has always been my favourite genre but I’m dotting in a few murder mysteries which is also enjoying. After this series I’m looking to go into the infamous acotar. I just wanted to meet a few like minded people that also love reading or trying to get back into it as I am.
