Join us in 2026 for a new reading group where we dive into genres, looking at the authors, books and themes that define them. We’ll cover everything from crime, fantasy and thrillers to classics, romance and more.
Whether you’re trying to read more, are a massive fan of the genre, or normally give it a miss, we’ll have plenty of book recommendations to choose from so that you’re bound to find something you like.
Books can transport us, change our perspectives and teach us more about the world, and about ourselves. And reading for pleasure can help you slow down, improve your attention span and benefit your mental health.
At each of the 10 monthly sessions, Ollie will give a quick background overview on the genre, followed by discussion of what you liked or didn't about your chosen book(s) and how they fit within the genre, leaving with even more recommendations to add to your To Be Read pile. And if you just read one book from each session, you’ll have read at least 10 over the year and be well on your way to a great habit.
So come along to our no-pressure sessions and help strengthen your reading muscle.
March - Get Into… SciFi
March takes us into a genre that speculates about the future of humanity and what it means to be human - science fiction. Since its birth with Frankenstein, this genre has asked serious questions that it's tried to answer through fantastic settings, from far-flung galaxies and dystopian worlds to alien attacks and medical marvels. This month’s reading list includes authors who really care about science and others who care more about fiction, providing a range of hilarious, thought-provoking or heart-rending journeys along the way.
Reading list:
The Ministry of Time by Kaliane Bradley (contemporary, literary)
Three Body Problem by Cixin Liu (translated)
The Dispossessed by Ursula Le Guin (modern classic)
Exhalation by Ted Chiang (multi-award winning short stories)
The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet by Becky Chambers (series/LGBTQ)
The Importance Of Being Interested by Robin Ince (non fiction)
The Time Machine by H. G. Wells (classic)
Flowers For Algernon by Daniel Keyes (modern classic, genre breaking)
The Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy by Douglas Adams (comedy/audiobook)
Divergent by Veronica Roth (young adult)
