Tyler

After realising my attention span is shrinking and I spend too much time on my phone, I've started to read a lot more and I haven't looked back since! I'd love to share the experience of reading with other people and see different perspectives. I just moved to Southampton, I don't really know anyone and I think a book group would be a great start for me to meet new people. I'm interested in reading many different types of books, especially ones that move me.

Tyler recommends:

A thousand splendid suns by Khaled Hosseini
A thousand splendid suns
by Khaled Hosseini | Buy this book
Where to even begin... I haven't cried while reading until I read Hosseini's works. I've also never been able to picture the scenes of a book so vividly. This tragic story covers the struggles of Afghan women, in a way that can be easily believed as a true story.

Shirley

I'd like to meet up with other readers reasonably locally. My passion is social justice so I appreciate any novel tackling these issues e.g. The Women by Kristin Hannah. But also love reading crime and psychological thrillers. More commercial than literary. Favourite authors Lianne Moriarty, Clare Macintosh, Robert Galbraith Strike series, Elly Griffiths Ruth Galloway series. I'm also a writer and run a writing group in Dibden Purlieu.

Shirley recommends:

Circe by Madeline Miller
Circe
by Madeline Miller | Buy this book
The setting is stunning. Her character development is fab. Miller really brings Circe out of the Odyssey, gives her life and I completely fell in love with her!
