Chapter Malmesbury

Informal, laid-back and slow-paced. A weekly 1 hour book group where we read and discuss only a few chapters at a time, and have a chat and general book discussion at the end.

Farrah

Hi I’m Farrah I am an avid read across all genres. My favourites though are: High fantasy, romance thrillers, dystopian and sci fi. I am looking to join a book club to meet new bookish people and discuss and read new novels maybe every month!

Farrah recommends:

The Will Of The Many  by James Islington
The Will Of The Many
by James Islington | Learn more and buy
This book has opened up a whole new narrative for me through the vivid imagery descriptions used crossed with the Roman period setting. This book also provides a new view of a political stance within fiction through vis’s eyes. This book reevaluated my whole knowledge and experience of epic fantasy and also expanded my craving for good dark academia.

Lily

I am 21 and looking to make more girl-friends! Being in a bookclub is a bonus as I need motivation to get back into reading! I enjoy classics such as the Odyssey and the Aeneid as well as more modern day books such as the First to Die at the End and Game of Thrones. Honestly I am down to read anything but you'll find me mostly in the fantasy sections

Vera by Elizabeth Von Arnim
Vera

The story is dark, 'comical' and moving all at once, which I feel is quite an unusual mix. I found it a real 'page turner' . . excuse the cliche.

Astronomical_Autumn

I'm an 18 year old genderless person looking to expand my genre awareness and make new friends! I would like to meet people in my area who also enjoy reading and would introduce me to their own favourite books or poems. I have a particular interest in Poetry, Sci-Fi & Dystopian Fiction, but also enjoy Fantasy, Horror and Historical Fiction too :]

Astronomical_Autumn recommends:

This Is How You Lose the Time War
by Amal El-Mohtar & Max Gladstone | Learn more and buy
A very miserable, very beautiful Sci-Fi romance that I have yet to recover from reading.. the format itself is great, presented as a letter exchange, and the progression of the story going between timelines, mixing the past and the future where our central characters leave points of contact for one another in a bittersweet exchange is just perfect. A brilliant read I would recommend to anybody (^_^) !!!

The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman
The Thursday Murder Club

A fun, clever mystery with heart-warming characters and gentle humour. It’s cosy, smart, and easy to get lost in — the kind of book that makes you smile while trying to solve the puzzle.
