Addy

I'm looking to find some people with similar book tastes to me as I'm trying to put myself out there a bit more this year. I read mainly fantasy, romantasy, sci fi and cosy mysteries. I'm not really looking for anything too gritty or deep because I like escapism in my reading!

Addy recommends:

Baking Bad

by Kim M Watt | Learn more and buy

It doesn't get much cosier than this, and it's one of my favourite genres- people solving murders who have no business solving murders. It's cosy, funny and heartwarming, and involves senior citizens and dragons solving mysteries!

Najmah

I am a mother of two beautiful girls, and one of my joys is reading books. I have never joined a book group before, so I wasn’t sure what it would be like or how I could contribute. I was hesitant to join when Nadia first shared the link with me, but I finally decide to push myself and join.

jennyf

I love non fiction and fiction. I especially like the classics

Barry

I am a writer and reader living just outside of reading, looking for a book club to join, or for writing friends to join our writing group. I generally read sci-fi but am open to any genre for book club purposes, I'm happy to expand my reading habits.

TimLaz

I’m 28m looking to join a book club in Reading to meet new people and practice reading more critically. I mostly reading speculative fiction but I’m looking to broaden the kinds of things I read while being able to learn why I enjoy some books more than others and understand what makes good writing

TimLaz recommends:

A Little Hatred

by Joe Abercrombie | Learn more and buy

For anyone who like grimdark fantasy, this is a must read! Joe is a master of character and he’s on top form here! It feels very familiar to readers of the First Law while also expanding the world and exploring new themes in an age of industrialisation
