Updated: 4 days ago

Welcome to the Tuesday evening book club. We'll meet once every two months to discuss a book written in English.

Possible books

Feel free to make suggestions about the books that you want to read. I try to suggest books that are around 200 pages long. Here are some possible ideas for our next choice - perhaps you can do a spot of online research to decide which books you would like to read.


  • David Nicholls - One Day or You Are Here (these are a bit longer than we normally choose)

  • Toya Wolfe - Last Summer on State Street

  • Rachel Ingalls - Mrs Caliban

  • Dorothy Gallagher - Stories I Forgot to Tell You

  • George Orwell - Animal Farm

  • Audur Ava Olafsdottir (she is from Iceland) - Hotel Silence

  • Paul Auster - Baumgartner

  • Agatha Christie - And Then There Were None

  • Virginia Woolf - Mrs Dalloway (this might be a bit tricky)


You can also find more inspiration by looking at the books we've read in my other book clubs. Click this link to find out more.


Who is the book club for?

The book club is for people who:


  • enjoy reading and discovering new authors

  • like meeting new people

  • want to practice speaking in a friendly environment


I'll prepare a few questions for you to discuss at the book club so that you get lots of speaking practice. You can also ask me questions about any vocabulary or grammar that you find interesting in the book. At the end of each session, I'll provide some feedback to help you improve your English.


What we've read

  1. Three Days in June by Anne Tyler

  2. Orbital by Samantha Harvey

  3. My Name is Lucy by Elizabeth Strout

  4. After the Quake by Haruki Murakami
