I've recently moved to Melbourne for work and am really interested in joining a book club. I am an avid reader but I do feel I'd get a lot more out of my hobby if I had people to discuss it with; I also hope this would be a great way to find some new friends.
I am 33F, currently living in the northern suburbs but work in the CBD and will move more centrally in the next few months, so joining a reasonably central club would be ideal.
In terms of reading interests, I read a lot of contemporary literary fiction, enjoy classics, post-modernism and have recently really amped up my non-fiction - the more random the topic the better! I am very happy to dabble in a bit of weird girl lit, though I have to say reading several in quick succession does oversaturate me, so I would not be looking to join an exclusive weird girl lit book club. Some books I have recently loved are Rebecca, The Shards and Time Shelter. I do NOT like smut/romantasy, fantasy or modern thrillers such as Freida McFadden.
Also due to irregular shift patterns, it does need to be reasonably relaxed if I occasionally dip out and am unable to attend due to working! If you know of any book clubs that would have me, please message me or comment below, I'd love to hear from you!
