Hi!
I've stared a book club at my workplace as a way to make some new friends 😄 (making new friends friends in your 30s is hard!)
I've had lots of interest which I'm super excited about! We're focusing on books by female authors and books 300 pages or under so they we can fit book club around life/work/children.
We're looking for books that have strong opinions or interesting subjects that will create discussion.
What are you're favourite books that fit this criteria?
So far our list of recommendations includes:
- Orbital – Samantha Harvey
- I Who Have Never Known Men – Jacqueline Harpman
- Fundamentally – Nussaibah Younis
- Jackdaw – Tade Thompson
- Cecilia – K-Ming Chang
- Look at Me – Anita Brookner

hey, so Tade Thompson is a man, just fyi. If you want Nigerian speculative fiction similar to what he writes with a woman author, Binti by Nnedi Okorafor is really good.
A Room Of One’s Own by Virginia Woolf would spark great discussions if you are interested in feminism.
To Be Taught If Fortunate by Becky Chambers is a personal favorite of mine
