The Tsundoku Squad book club is a group of people in a group chat on Twitter and we read one book a month and discuss a section at the end of each week to see our thoughts on it. We talk books and everything else too and we are always having a good laugh! There are 13 of us (all female), 12 are from the UK and 1 is all the way in USA!
Our January pick was Love at the Northen Lights by Darcie Boleyn as it was a free kindle book at the time and we thought a cosy romance would be a good start for our first book.
Our February pick is Paris by Starlight by Robert Dinsdale.
At the end of each month I will share our thoughts in a blog post. We are planning to read a wide range of books of different genres to suit everyone's tastes and I am really looking forward to the year ahead.
Let's introduce the #TsundokuSquad members:
Gemma (me) - I am from Manchester and my favourite genres are young adult, mysteries and thrillers. I love to cuddle up with my book, my black cat Mowgli and a hot chocolate! I also love to watch a good Netflix series when I am not reading.
Em (@emandherbooks & emandherbooks) lives in Devon and when she can pull herself away from staring at her rainbow bookshelves or work, her favourite way to spend a day is under a blanket reading a good crime/thriller book. Her favourite book of all time is Matilda (but whose isn’t). When she is not reading she enjoys exploring Dartmoor.
Kath (@BooksKathv & KathvBooks) lives in South Wales and is a Bookseller. Her favourite book of all time is Pride and Prejudice. Her long standing favourite genre is Crime although she has recently been reading a lot more translated fiction and books from small independent publishers. When Kath isn’t reading, she is most likely to be found either gardening or taking photos for her Instagram page.
Lucy (@BWormBlogger & Bookworm Blogger) is from Swindon, spends her days drinking endless amounts of tea whilst looking after 2 children. She loves historical fiction and crime but is always open to try new genres. When not doing the above Lucy runs her own Piano Teaching Business.
Kate (@TheQuickandthe4 & The Quick and The Read) is from Cheshire. She is a Mum, book blogger and teacher with a particular love for historical and crime fiction – even better if is crime fiction set in the past! Favourite book is potentially A Room with a View by E M Forster, but equally possible to be Polo by Jilly Cooper! She has a self-declared problem with Fruit Gums.
Amanda (@AGirlReadsBooks & Two Bookish Babes) is our token American. Her favourite genre is historical fiction. She loves nothing more than to read and drink a mocha latte or tea. When she isn’t reading she’s off playing with her toddler, planning or bookstagramming.
Lisa (@GirlNovelLiving & Girl Novel Living) is a bookworm from Essex, who has a physical TBR pile which might have consumed her. We like to check in on her to see she still have space left in her room for air. Lisa’s loves nothing more than reading a good thriller with wine and olives.
Sarah (@SarahFaichney) is from Scotland and read a whopping 210 books in 2020, wiping the floor with the rest of us! She is usually reading about 5 books at any one time, across all genres. Favourite book of all time is Wild Swans by Jung Chang. When not reading Sarah enjoys; writing, theatre, music, lipstick and cheese.
Janet (@Janet36156220 & Two Heads are Better than One) is a mum, wife and book addict from Durham. She mainly reads crime and thrillers but also enjoys historical fiction, all with a dark choccie digestive or three. When not reading, Janet runs a small business making personalised guest books and photo albums.
Dee (@GeorgieDeeDee & Dee’s Book Blog) is a book loving, tattooed mum of two from Newcastle. Her favourite book of all time is Shuggie Bain by Douglas Stuart and she recommends it to anyone who will listen. Another favourite hobby of Dee’s is devouring all that Netflix has to offer.
Emma (@EHawkes7 & emmah loves books) is a mum of two from Stroud slowly trying to get through her never ending TBR. She will try and enjoy most genre except for Horror; as a self-confessed scaredy-cat, this is one she avoids.
Bex (@boysbex) is a mum to three very loud boys and a part time student, it’s a miracle she gets any reading done at all. Her favourite genres are thrillers, crime, historical fiction but will give anything except horror (another self-confessed wimp). She loves hiding in the bath with a G&T and a book where the boys can’t get her!
Wendy (@WendyReadsBook1) is also from Devon, a mum of two teens and a full time teaching assistant. Her favourite genre is Historical Fiction and her favourite book of all time is the Book Thief. An important rule is that she must have a cuppa’ when reading at all time.
Please check everyone's Twitter/ blogs out, we are a friendly bunch and there is a lot of bookish content to be looked at!
