I'm not in any book club, as far as I know theres not ne on here.
I've thought about joining a book club, but I'm fussy about what I read and probably wouldn't get on with a lot of what others would want to read. I've looked at notes and questions from authors to book clubs and just end up thinking that answering all that lot would put me off a book I'd enjoyed.
I'm not the most clubbable of people, except maybe with a blunt object, I don't really enjoy doing that much stuff with others and don't work well within a group.

Wow they sound like the sort of books I would be very much interested in reading - I may try them out. I’ve been struggling with reading for some time (it used to be my favourite , I always remember sneaking to bed around 8yo reading the secret Seven and the Famous Five under my covers pretending to have gone to sleep but being too addicted to try) I struggle to focus these days though and have been experimenting with audiobooks.
somebody recommended The Satsuma Complex to me as a good engaging read to refocus with…
Might be nice to share (what we think are) good books with people though - with no rules for having to answer set Qs etc, etc. I'm a big fan of Kristin Hannah at the mo - read three of her books so far, and plan to read more. Her levels of research are amazing. Today I finished The Women (about Vietnam war), and previously read The Four Winds (dust bowl) and The Nightingale (Nazi occupation, France). They are not chuckle-fests by any means - but I love them! All are focused on female experience in (extremely) testing circumstances.
I would be the same as youTheCatWoman I’m fussy about the types of novels I read and the other books I enjoy are either too specialised or often not of interest to many people.
i guess so and sometimes if you feel like you have to engage by reading the book choice of the month and it’s a bit chewy then I guess it’s difficult to contribute towards a conversation with something you’re not interested in breaking down.
maybe people would be interested in sharing their favourite novels? Fact / fiction / biographies and what they like about them?
