The Haunting of Hill House

by Shirley Jackson | Learn more and buy

I love stories where it is ambiguous whether there is a supernatural entity or whether people are juat going mad, and this is the absolute best of them!

Escape into a Good Book, Club

📔📕📗📘📙 HELLO THERE FELLOW READERS! 👋🏼📚😊 I want to see if there was any interest in a meet up book club in my local area, Wakefield, West Yorkshire. I thought it might be nice to meet new people who have a similar interest. The idea is to select 3 different book choices and then read the one that gets the most votes. At the meet up I am wanting to allow some time to read as well as discussion. This is because I know many people who just don't get a chance or make the time to read. This will be our time. I will also open up to a vote for the best day for most people. If there is any interest I will then speak to a local business who have advertised about using their space for free. I also open to a quiet reading club where we all get together and bring our books to read. After some we then get to socialise and chat about books. Happy Reading, Shalla 😊📖

Hi I'm Nina. I would like to join a book club as I have got back into reading 📚

BookishKatie

I love dark romance and fantasy books but also not adverse to other books.

Shalla

I am 38 years old looking to make new friends who also enjoy reading. My genre of reading has increased in recent years, so will to give me most books a chance...just not fantasy yet, haha.

Kate

I've got a job that's quite boring so I read a lot to pass the time. I've been trying to read a book a week for the last few years. Sometimes one will take a month then I'll get through 3 in a week! Books are my escape and I'd like someone to share my enthusiasm. I read a wide range of things and I know there's great stuff in all genres but my favourites are probably Sci-Fi and dystopias. I definitely read more non-fiction though: science, history, politics, comedy and autobiographies mostly.

Kate recommends:

Babel

by R.F. Kuang | Learn more and buy

It took me a while to get into this and I thought it might be a bit too academic for me but I persisted and it really paid off once I understood the ideas coming together. It combines history and Sci-Fi to tell important truths about the world which I was somewhat ignorant of. Best book I've read this year.
