Hi! I’m 28 F, living around Surrey UK. I’m desperate to find a book club kind of around my area (willing to extend into South London) that read books that similarly align with my taste in books, though of course I am always happy to read outside of these Genres, I love finding books I may have never picked up before but have really enjoyed! I like books that really connect with the experiences of being human, or something that makes me feel introspective.
Even if no such book club exists, would love to hear from anyone in these kinds of areas within a similar age range, maybe we could start one! :)
A list of my most loved books to get a feel for the vibe in no particular order:
Giovannis Room - James Baldwin I Who Have Never Known Men - Jacqueline Harpman Braiding Sweetgrass - Robbin Wall Kimmerer The alchemist - Paulo Coelho Blindness - José Saramago The Road - Cormac McCarthy Stoner - John Williams In The Dream House - Carmen Maria Machado If We Were Villains - M. L. Rio The Secret History - Donna Tartt On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous - Ocean Vuong Her Body And Other Parties - Carmen Maria Machado Earthlings - Sayaka Murata My Year of Rest and Relaxation - Ottessa Moshfegh A Little Life - Hanya Yanagihara Crying in H Mart - Michelle Zauner
