We’re coming to the end of our latest book club read, The Names by Florence Knapp, which means it’s time for the all-important question…
What shall we read next?
Our book club is deliberately relaxed. There’s no pressure to read at a particular pace, and everyone is welcome to join in whether they manage the whole book or simply want to be part of the conversation.
October’s picks…
Yesteryear by Caro Claire Burke
Yesteryear follows Natalie, a social-media “tradwife” influencer whose carefully curated life takes a very unexpected turn when she finds herself transported back to 1855.
My Friends by Fredrik Backman
Backman is known for his emotional stories about people and relationships, and this one explores friendship, art, loss and the connections we make with others.
Heartless by Marissa Meyer
Heartless takes us into the world of Wonderland and imagines the story of Catherine, the girl who will eventually become the Queen of Hearts.
Before she becomes the infamous villain, Catherine dreams of opening her own bakery and living life on her own terms. But expectations, relationships and circumstances have other plans.
Bonus for accessibility: this one is currently available through Kindle Unlimited.
Five Years From Now by Paige Toon
And finally, we have our romance option!
Five Years From Now follows a friendship that spans years and explores love, timing, choices and the question of whether some people are simply meant to find their way back to each other.
So… what should we read next?
I’m genuinely curious to see which one everyone goes for.
If you’ve read any of these, I’d love to hear what you thought. And if you haven’t read them, which one would make you most tempted to pick up a copy and join us?
You can find the Epilogues and Echoes Book Club on Fable - everyone is welcome.
