Do you love books? Are you often looking for people to discuss literature with? Lots of people love to read, but it can be hard to find someone to discuss the book you’re reading — especially if you love an uncommon genre.
April's Book
You Are Here by David Nicholls
The book for April is a contemporary romantic novel about two middle-aged strangers who meet on a long-distance walking holiday across northern England. Both are carrying the weight of failed marriages, private disappointments, and the quiet ache of loneliness.
Over the course of the Coast to Coast Walk, their shared miles become a space for confession, humor, misunderstanding, and unexpected intimacy. Set against lakes, valleys, and moors, the novel explores what it means to locate yourself emotionally after loss. It asks whether love can return when life has not turned out as planned—and whether courage sometimes means simply staying on the path.
About our book club
If you’re having a hard time finding people to talk with about your reading material, you might want to consider joining our book club. They’re also great opportunities to meet new people and make new friends with common interests.
Reading is a solitary activity but when a book has moved or stimulated you it's natural to want to discuss it with someone else. A reading group gives you that opportunity. Also, a group encourages you to think a bit more about the books you read - why you like some, hate others.
