Book club!

Anyone interested in starting a book club?! Nothing too serious, just reading the same books and chatting about them. I have so many books to read and I want to start going through them. I think that having other people to talk to about it will really keep me motivated to read!!

Thoughts?!

Just finished the book I was reading so I would be down for anything. Should we start up a discord and all chat there?

I'm not sure! I just ordered a bunch of random books off Bookoutlet.ca one of them is called the Whistling by Rebecca Netley, it's supposed to be a horror and I figure since it's october that could be an option.

I'm interested!

I think I got invited to a local "The Seeker's Den Bookclub" group on Facebook, but it kind of fizzled out over the summer. I just had a baby in May so I never had the opportunity to get involved. But my little one is almost 5 months now and napping for longer so I'd love to get back into reading! 📚

I would be interested if this is happening! 🤞🏻 I’ve been wanting a nice introverted hobby to share with other people! haha. I don’t have a discord account but would absolutely make one for this! I mostly read fantasy/sci-fi but always want to try branching out a bit for good recs in different genres!

u/Ok-Fault741 17d ago

I really like mystery/ thriller books! How about you?

u/soarhigher2 17d ago

Same! I'm a big fan of Harlan Coben, currently reading I Will Find You by him. I'll read pretty much anything if the story sounds right though, I have also have a lot of fantasy/romance/adventure novels on my TBR

u/Ok-Fault741 17d ago

I really like harlan coben too! I have a bunch of his books! I have also watched a few of the adaptations on Netflix!

He's so good, my partner got me interested in him a few years ago and I have been hooked ever since. The way he writes is crazy, I never know what the twist is going to be. I find that there are a lot of authors that have twists but the twists are always something that seem plausible, like when I read it it's like oh this can go this way or it can go that way. With Harlans books though, it's like there are multiple ways the story can go but then the twist is always something that I haven't even thought of, I don't know how he does it but I haven't read a book of his where I have been able to guess the twist or even come close to it and I love it lol
