A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder

by Holly Jackson | Buy this book

This is a great thriller / mystery series, but what sets it apart from other books in this genre is the characters. Would highly recommend.

The Brothers Karamazov

by Fyodor Dostoyevsky | Buy this book

Deep exploration of philosophical and psychological concepts via interesting and entertaining characters. Lengthy but fantastic read, 100% deserving of its reputation

The fact that no matter how bad you fall, if you want, you can always rise again.

Hi, I’m Penelope. I would love to meet some new people and make genuine connections, and joining a book club felt like a nice way to do that. I love the idea of sharing stories and hearing different perspectives — plus it’s always more fun to read when you can talk about it with others. I’m looking forward to getting to know everyone!

I am moving to Reading for my husbands job and I'm looking to meet new friends and read some great books. I'm an avid reader and always enjoy a good chat about books.

Josie recommends:

Strange the Dreamer

by Laini Taylor | Buy this book

I love this fantasy book as it uses medieval Spain and the Middle East to form an interesting and different magical world. Taylor also uses this space to discuss the aftermath of violent revolution on all of its survivors.

Sophia

My name is Sophia but I like to go by Phia, I'm looking to meet new people/ fellow girlies that like to do cute things different activities like dinner nights, coffee runs, or paint and sips on top of reading and being in a book club together.

Sophia recommends:

Pride and Prejudice

by Jane Austen | Buy this book

I love Lizzie as a character, I feel like she is relatable, even with the couple hundred time gap since publication. I love her lack of dependancy on a man and I feel like that is both bold and brave for that time. I feel like you could also take parts of the story from Austen's life in itself which is admirable.

Emilia

I love books and I love seeing where a story can take you. My genre is novels with interesting and well structured characters that you discover bit by bit. I am bilingual and I am intrigued by the use of words and how they can be used to convey an image or a feeling.

Emilia recommends:

Fresh water for flowers

by Valerie Perrin | Buy this book

Elise

I just moved to Reading and I would like to have some fellow reader girlies around me to meet up, host dinner, have a tipple and talk books with one another. I would like to be more motivated to read, and mostly I just want to have some company and do something wholesome!

Sharon

Hello - I'm Sharon - I have just moved from Snowdonia back to Lower Earley where I went to school (Loddon and Maiden Erlegh). I was a member of a book club in Dolgellau. I didn't know at the time I joined the club that the members were infamous for meeting every two weeks, choosing books, not reading them and meeting again two weeks later to discuss them. It took me one round of that to realise 'things weren't quite how they seemed at first'.... I'm looking for brilliant minds, love of heritage, how novels work, how protagonists are created - and therefore how baddies, heroes, comedy parts, educator characters - everything.. I've got loads of energy to bring and as I am starting my new life again (suddenly single and back where I started) - finding a 'team' of such I can be part of would be amazing. I also have a mischievous sense of humour and am very well travelled. I love people, cakes, coffee, rambling, history, dance, singing, wine and chips :)

Sharon recommends:

Aristotle and an Aardvark Go to Washington

by Thomas Cathcart and Daniel Klein | Buy this book

These brilliant comedians and authors aren't falling for politico flim-flam and arrive to save the world from double-speak, flat writing and worthless words. I kept breaking out into proper laughing on the train. The guy next to me had ordered it to collect from Waterstones before we pulled into Paddington. It will make you put your head in your hands, smile, groan and roll your eyes - but most importantly - it is seriously funny.

Bianca

Hey :) I am Bianca, I am 29 and recently moved to Reading. I particularly enjoy fantasy and romance books but also some fanfiction. I usually read fiction. Looking for some new friends I can read together with and hang out with! Maybe exploring some coffee shops in the area.

Cresarie

Hello! I'm 21, I read romance, fantasy and historical fiction, and I would love to find more people to discuss books with! :)

Riya

Hello! I'm 24 and live in Reading. I haven't finished a book in ages and would love to get into reading. These days, I lean more toward Christian and Catholic content. However, I also enjoy reading about history and adventure, such as The Secret Letters of the Monk Who Sold His Ferrari or The Alchemist. I used to read a lot of crime and horror in high school, but now I can't seem to consume scary or crime-related content without having nightmares. Besides history and adventure, I'm keen on reading about science, politics, economics, and sociology. My goal is to join a book club to stay accountable and make reading a habit.
